Anthropologie Items of the Week

Its been a long time since I did one of these posts.

 

Love this tunic.  Its casual but I think you could throw it on with jeans and walk out the door looking effortlessly put together.

 

 

Love the color of this dress.  The cut looks flattering.

 

 

The back sold me.  Its just unique enough for me to justify buying yet another Jersey dress.

This could be a fun blouse for work or play, but I think I def need to see it in person before ordering it.

A few years back on Pinterest I came across a picture of a girl in a simple pale pink dress with black tights and black shoes and ever since I've wanted to recreate the look, it was such a nice combo that you don't see every day.  I like this dress but will prob go with the black version, it will just be way more versatile.

I made myself resist the urge to post these the moment I found them and the in the chaos that is my life I never posted them last week, so here they are a few days late...

Loving pelpums right now and really wanting this one to find its way to my closet somehow.

I have a sweater/vest-ish thing like this that I never wear only because I don't have the right shirt to go under it...I may get it and use it as an excuse to get a shirt that will work under both (I'm thinking something pretty basic, just a long dark 3/4 or long sleeved t-shirt.

I know its hot out still, but I can't resist cardi's for some reason right now.  I NEED this, for real...and I wouldn't mind the shirt pictured under it either.

Everyone of you should own everyone of these...

 

 

A plain white tee with some flare.  Its super flattering on...I happen to know because its already been worn by moi and put in my dirty clothes hamper.  I tricked Alex into making a quick stop at Anthro while we were in Atlanta on the way to Denver.

 

Linen striped shirt.  A perfect summer weight.  So versatile.

 

Obsessed.  I think the color blocking will make this one so flattering on.  Love it dressed up with these necklaces, but you could also dress it down...or add some color...the possibilities are truly endless aren't they?

Sorry if these are repeats...I don't think I've posted on them, I tried going back to check and it doesn't look like I have, but I still feel like I already have!

 

 

This would have been a good 4th of July outfit.  Madewell has a similar dress right now and I love the pop of color the necklace adds.  I also love the shape of those shades.

 

I would prob never wear an outfit like this, but I do like it.  It makes me want cowboy boots.  I think I could at least pull off a triangle scarf over a slouchy sweater.

 

The top is Madewell, but its sold out.  I found a similar one in my closet and recreated the outfit.  I assumed the jeans were skinnies, but I went and looked at the original post and they're actually flares with heels...I think you could go either way.  Also love her hair.

Obsessed.

I have a different shirt with a similar hem...I think this shirt would get a lot of wear.

I kind of like this.  The only thing I think is a little odd is the fact that the stripes on the bottom show through the red material.

Love this.  Comes in lots of other colors.

Easy, breezy, beautiful.  Perf for summer.

If I dressed up to come to work I'd wear this...as long as it didn't hit at the widest part of my hips.  This is one I'm going to have to try on in person.

Easy and versatile.  Love the shirt tail hem.

Style Inspiration

I like the braid with the conservative dress...keeps it young and fun.

Really, I just like her hair.  A little messy, looks so effortless.

This dress looks like it would be so flattering on.  No idea where it came from though.

I'd seen this dress online and didn't think much of it, but then I saw it on one of the girls who worked at Anthro last weekend and fell in love.  I ordered in black and have been checking every day to see if its on my door step.  Its in contention to be my birthday outfit!

 

I love the idea of maxi dresses, but usually they are so flowy that they are completely unflattering on me.  I like that this one is fitted through the waist and for less than $100 its a steal for Anthropologie!

 

This is another one I saw online and considered but didn't think would be flattering despite all the good reviews...well, I got a similar shirt last weekend and can't tell you how many compliments I've received about it (even from a 60+ lady in my book club...more to come on that story later) so now I want this one too.  You can never have enough striped shirts.  This one says spring but will we wearable now since I don't think it will actually feel like spring around here for a long time!

If I get this Alex will say I already have about 5 shirts that look exactly the same...but you can never have too many shirts like this right?  It does say its shimmery which might make it less desirable to me...we'll see.

 

Notice the statement necklace with that shirt above?  This isn't she same one but I like it.  The chain is a bit questionable, but having a long statement necklace needs to me in my near future.

 

This dress looks like it would be flattering and comfortable.

I've decided I need to invest in a skinny belt.  Both of these seem like good choices but I'm leaning more towards the one below.  It's clean and classic and I think I'd wear natural leather more than gold.

 

This dress is has really pretty details even though its hard to see in this pic...go to the web site and look at the green one to see for yourself.  I'm also kind of obsessed with that belt.  This dress is super cheap for Anthro so I'm kind of questioning the quality...it will prob show every lump and bump or be totally see though...but I still like it for now.

 

This book is so AWESOME.  It used to cost way more but now there is a paperback version that's way cheaper...its basically city guides for long weekend trips...how cool is that!

This pic really makes me want a pair of flare jeans, I've pretty much only been wearing skinnies recently but I might have to add a pair to my birthday wishlist.

 

Love this girl's hair, and her dress (pretty sure it was Anthro or Madewell last fall), and the necklace.  So all of it.

Birthday Suit

 

Yes, I know my birthday is still more than two months away, but that doesn't mean I can't start planning what I'll wear to celebrate.  This dress from Madewell is on my wish list.  It looks extremely flattering and very versatile!

I have MANY plaid shirts, but this one is flannel which = warm!

I've instated a new policy for myself.  Since its really only warm enough to wear dresses a few months of the year here, I don't have to dress up to go into the office and wearing a dress out on the town almost always makes me feel over dressed I'm going to only buy dresses that are on sale.

I think this chambray shirt dress could be worn out on the town.

Obviously I love a shirt dress.  Love the pizazz the belt adds to the outfit. 

One more shirt dress.  Thank you Anthro for showing me that it can be paired with tights and booties so I don't have order it and keep my fingers crossed that it will look ok now that the closest Anthro is an hour and a half away and in a different state!

Love this.  Hair.  Chunky sweater over a dress. Ran boots.  Need to recreate this from what I already have in my closet!

Like the idea of a basic black3/4 sleeve top that can be dressed up or down and styled with all kinds of different accessories...

Probably because it reminds me of a 3/4 dress like this one (both of these are Tibi).

Love the wrap skirt on this dress...I think it could be worn with tights and boots BUT based on how cold it already is here I'm not sure if that would be enough to keep me warm while wearing it and I'm not sure I'd be able to wear it often enough to make it worth it.

Also, this probably goes without saying, but don't try light gray tights to match the spots on this dress...I made that mistake once and never wore the tights..when I got them on my lower half looked like it belonged to a smurf.

Day To Night Update

Remember how I said the one think I was missing from those day to night looks was a sweater dress...well, this one from Madewell is actuall a sweatshirt dress, but I think it will work.  I've wanted a sweater dress for a long time but most of them have tight skirts and make me look lumpy...with the pleats, this one won't do that!  Its multi-seasonal which you know I love.  Wear it like this when its warmer, layer it with sweaters/jackets and tights as it gets cooler!

Style Inspiration

For some reason I just really like this day to night outfit idea.  I have gray booties and sunnies like the ones in the day outfit and plenty of colorful scarves...just need the gray dress.  For the night look I'd prob go with a cardi or at least another non leopard jacket but I still like the idea!

This pic caught my eye because it made me notice how good black clothes look in black and white pictures.  Plus it features a 3/4 length sleeved LBD which has been on my wish list for some time now!

Fit for a Massey

I've made myself swear to start only buying clothes that are flattering on me...clothes that are cut to accentuate my waist are, shifts are not.  I love this dress but it won't work with my new dress code...however, I'm pretty sure every single one of the Massey sisters could pull it off flawlessly!

I have it pinned if you want to know where to get it...I think it was cheap, maybe $70!

Perf 4th of July dress!

Love the white eyelet...wish this dress would hurry up and go on sale!
