Anthropologie Fitting Room Reviews: Tops

 Jalapa Embroidered Top ($68)  I was intrigued by the cutouts at the neckline of this top. Sadly, that ended up being the only positive I could find about it. I tried on a medium and didn't care for the way it fit at all. The lines that cut across the bust were extremely unflattering, not to mention they joined up with the bottom print on the sides, making me look wider than I actually am. I also felt this top should be a few inches longer. This one was wrong for me on so many levels. Pass.

 Notched V-Neck Tee ($68)  I find myself drawn more and more to what I like to call "Pajama Wear" these days. Maybe it's because I'm getting older or maybe it's a reaction to the stressful world we live in. Whatever the reason, I've been buying a lot of soft, comfy knits and most of them have been from the brand "Left of Center." Here's a top from that brand, with it's trademark front seem that delves off, you guessed it, left of center. This is a medium, and I love the fit, feel, and color. The only issue I have with it is the raw, unfinished hem. I don't mind the look of it so much, but I just can't justify paying $68 for something that is literally coming apart. Maybe I can stomach it more once it goes on sale, because I really love everything else about it. Wish listed.

 Puckered Placket Pullover ($48)  This is one of those basic tees with a twist (or, in this case, a pucker) that we've come to expect from the Deletta brand, and as usual, it comes in a plethora of colors. I went with the ivory because unlike the other colors, it incorporates a lovely turquoise-colored thread which adds a nice contrast. I wish I had gotten a closer photo, because the turquoise thread is not showing up in this one. Oh well, you'll just have to take my word for it. I tried on a size medium, and I thought it fit nicely. I can see this tee being a great staple in my wardrobe. Wish listed.

Rilievo Embroidery Top ($78)  I've had my eye on this top for some time now. However, I was hoping to try it on in the black motif. Unfortunately, the navy was the only one to be had at my store. This is a size medium, and I liked the fit of it. The knit material is nice and soft, and the lace on the sleeves and the back is not itchy at all. I actually ended up purchasing this top, but I'm thinking about returning it because the navy color just doesn't wow me. The black is sold out online, but perhaps I could track one down in a store.
