Anthropologie Fitting Room Reviews

 Sirretta Cardigan ($118) and  Laurelwood Boatneck ($58) I can't resist a good, comfortable cardigan, and since I don't own this particular color in my extensive collection, I decided to give it a try. The medium was a good fit. The shorter panels in the front looked a little weird to me, but I loved everything else about this cardigan (hello, it has lace details!) enough to add it to my collection. I even purchased the tee underneath it too since it went so well with the cardigan. It's just a basic striped tee, but I like the pop of yellow and the floral detail at the neckline. I also took this in a size medium, and the only complaint I had was it was a little short for my taste. However, since I have gotten it home, I've paired it with a long cami with lace detail at the bottom and that ended up looking great. Purchased both.


 Marya Dress ($88) The damn lace got me again! I love how this dress combines the casual comfort of a sweatshirt with the elegant beauty of lace. Let's face it, lace can be pretty uncomfortable, especially when worn on top, so I appreciate the thoughtful design of this dress. One draw back is that the cutoff between the knit and the lace is a bit abrupt, but a belt can easily remedy that problem. This is a size medium, and I really wanted to buy it, but I decided to be a good girl and wait a bit longer. Wish listed.

 Gael Dress ($98) I have several dresses like this, but I was curious about the fit of this one. I tried it on in a size medium, and I thought it was the right size for me, but there was just something about the fit that was off. I think the lighter colored panels on the sides were suppose to make me look slimmer, but I felt like they made me look wide - something no girl wants. Pass.

 Icefall Maxi Dress ($278) I fell in love with this beauty the minute I saw it online. However, it's super expensive and with no holiday party to attend this year, I saw no reason to order it. Ordering online has many advantages, but it can't beat the store experience when it comes to trying on things that I have no intentions of buying. I saw this lone dress hanging in my store, and even though it was a size 12, I couldn't resist giving it a go. It was way too big everywhere, but I could see the potential, and it made me want it. I think a size 8 is what I need. Once it goes on sale, I plan on trying to track one down in that size. Dammit, I'll find somewhere to wear it! Wish listed.


Sequin Cutout Dress($49.95 was $188) This is not my usual style, but Jerry convinced me to try it on. I tried it in a size 8 first, but there was too much fabric around the waist line, so I switched it out for the size 6 you see here. The 6 fit like a glove, and even though I don't totally feel like myself in this, I couldn't resist it for the sale price. Our holiday party was delayed for 2013, and I've heard rumors that we might be having an office party in February, so I thought this little red dress would be appropriate for a party during the month of love. Purchased.
