Plaited Brushstrokes Skirt ($88). The colors in this skirt are what attracted me to it. I especially love the coral color. This is a size 6 and the fit was great. I love the fullness of this skirt. I was twirling around for the SA's. They could really tell I loved it. LOL! Wishlisted.
Lace Henley Blouse ($88). I grabbed a small in this pretty little blouse. It fit great, and I loved the details. I wanted it, but I think it's too pricey for what it is, especially considering it is pratically see through. Wishlisted for sale.
Chartreuse Shoots Dress ($168). I wasn't sure about the color of this dress, but I decided to try it on because I love the shape so much. This is a size 6, and it fit great. This dress wasn't half bad, but I couldn't get past the chartreuse green. The color just didn't do anything for me. Pass.
Summer-Grown Dress ($138). I was really excited to try this dress on. I love the print and the sheer panels at the top. I was very disappointed once I got it on. Maybe it was because the store didn't have my size, so I had to try on a size 8. The size 8 was clearly too big on me. I had too much room everywhere. Maybe in a size 6 this dress would look totally different, but in a size 8, it didn't impress. Pass.
No name dress ($138). I saw this dress as soon as I walked through the doors. It was love at first sight. I absolutely love the blue color in the background on this print. It reminds me of a robin egg. This is a size 6, and it fit so good. The straps were the perfect length, there was no gaping under the arms, and the waist fit perfectly. I really, really wanted to bring this dress home with me, but I don't have the money for it right now. Added to the top of my wishlist.
Tippi Dress ($268). I had requests to review this dress several months ago, but I could never find one in a store. Well, look who decided to finally show up in my store. Better late than never, right? I love the print on this dress. Anything with birds on it is okay in my book. I grabbed a size 6, but the fit was not great. It just felt like I had too much room in this dress. Maybe a size 4 would have been a better fit. I didn't try a 4 because this dress is way out of my price range. Once it goes on sale, I might reconsider it. Pass for now.
Cuentos Del Mar Tunic ($49.95). This is an odd little top, and I was skeptical going in. I mean it's a tent top with huge pockets on the side, but I thought once I got it on it could be really casual chic. No such luck. It was ridiculously huge on me and did nothing for my figure. Pass.
Go For Baroque Peasant ($78) and L'aventure Shorts ($58). I expected great things from this blouse. It's such a pretty print, and I love a good peasant blouse. I was so disappointed with it. I tried a size small, and thought it fit good, it just seemed really matronly on me. Pass. On the other hand, I loved these shorts. I tried a size 6, and the fit was perfect. They are made from a very soft cotton and are oh so comfy. I hope to purchase these one day when I have the money. Wishlisted.
Thanks -- I always enjoy your reviews! It's hard living hours away from the nearest Anthro.
ReplyDeleteI love the NO Name Dress on you! I love the floral print, and robin blue color! (i am bias here cos one of my sons is called Robin!) But I don't really like spaghetti straps dress, cos i got to look for a strapless bra for it!
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing better! I love reading your reviews, they are great! Love the no name dress, wonderful for spring & summer! I really like the shorts & lace Henley blouse too!
ReplyDeleteTake care! Thanks for sharing on your blog, I really enjoy reading it!
I think that chartreuse looks beautiful on you! So flattering on your skin! (at least in the photo :))
ReplyDeleteAaah the no name dress must be what Kim's personal shopper in Chicago was wearing an her Anthro event with the striped blazer. I really like it!
ReplyDeleteI also really like the Tippi dress, don't think that's hit the EU site yet and it passed me by on the US site - I am guessing it's named after Tippi Hedren seeing as it has black birds all over it, clever!
Louise - the no name dress is what the personal shopper is wearing in my blog post!!
ReplyDeleteI really love it on you bonnie and hope you can get it!
Loved the Plaited Brushstrokes skirt on you.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about the Go For Baroque Peasant blouse. The SA insisted I try it on, and it just felt meh to me. Thanks for the reviews!
I don't think the peasant top is matronly! I actually like it a lot... think it looks good on you!
ReplyDeleteLove the no name dress!! Perfect for spring :)
ReplyDeleteLove your reviews..thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI had just the opposite pick..I tried the chartreuse and the no name and adore the chartreuse(bday discount soon!)..esp. tied in the front.
I actually think both looked good on you. I'm after those shorts too :-)
The no name dress is online now - verdant slip dress - and I'm almost positive it's the exact cut and fit as the reflecting pool dress and sangatte slip dress (I tried this one and the verdant slip dress on in-store and couldn't discern a difference..). The Verdant slip dress was gone from my anthro almost as soon as it hit the shelves..so if you want it grab it fast - it's even prettier in person!
