| Tee: After Plaited Tank, $48 Pilcro Fit: Ran Small Pants: Dixie Trousers, $98 Cartonnier Fit: TTS (meant to be fitted) Sweater: Artist Study Cardigan, $98 Sparrow Fit: A bit on the small side (compared to other recent Anthro sweaters) |
I love, love, loved these pants. They are vibrant and comfortable, and the fit is spot on. I tried on the 4, and since I have a lot of junk in my trunk (as previously established), and since they are machine washable, I sized up to a 6. The sweater was also a hit, and not as floppy and loose fitting as recent Anthro offerings. The After Plaited tank was a bit on the small side to me. I tried on the x-small, which is where I have been lately in tanks at Anthro, and it was snug in the arm holes. I would size up to a small to buy. The pants and sweater may or may not have jumped into my car with me....

| Tee: Flourishing Stripes Tank, $78 Pilcro Fit: TTS |
I loved this tank in both colorways. I couldn't decide which was better, and would like to have them both, so I am going to chance it until sale and try to do a two for one. The only down side about them was that although they are roomy and comfortable, but fit in the arm holes, the front was a little low for me. So I think I would be wearing some type of a tank bra to get a little more coverage. Any of you have any good ideas for layering under this?

| Chrysanthemum Moon Chemise, $68 Lilka Fit: TTS- a bit big |
I labeled this as a bit big, because I took a small in the dressing room and was swimming in it. I switched it out for an x-small (don't even get me started on "vanity sizing", girlfriends!), and it fit perfectly. I am such a sucker for a chemise that can double as a summer dress that I was pretty much sold at the start, but this even has fall styling ideas popping into my head. I jumped on this one.

| Liquid Acres Skirt, $118 Tabitha Fit: ? This is a puzzle |
What a complete disappointment. I was sold on this skirt before I stepped foot in the store, since I was drooling over the catalog images. I was so excited to find it right away. But that excitement quickly dissipated once it was zipped up. I love old bark cloth curtains, and this print is a spot-on replica of the curtains we had when I was a kid (I know that would turn most people off, but that makes this nostalgic girl giddy). The fit leaves much to be desired. Here is my theory:
I love the whimsy and distinct ideas Anthropologie generates, but I do wish there were a set designer that came up with a solid fit/cut and added new prints and textures each season- similar to J Crew's No. 2 Pencil Skirt. Give me that fit with this print, and it is a match made in heaven.
I tried on the 4, and maybe I needed to go down to the 2, but the pockets were already bulging. The waist felt loose, so I don't thing going down a size would have helped. Largely, a flop.

| Top: Wrap Around Blouse, $98 Portrait of a Girl Fit: Big Skirt: Square Study, $148 Eva Franco Fit: TTS |
This skirt reminded me of a skirt Anthro had out last fall, and I never jumped at that one because the fit was all wrong on me. This one is more my fit style, and I really liked it. This is the 6, and I would buy a 4, so I would say it is true to size. The blouse was very big, and I thought it was just another loose one, but realized they only had a 6 and a 0, so I was basically stuck. I think to purchase I would need to go all the way down to a 2. You might want to try this one on before ordering to be sure. I love the green and the navy colorway of these.

| Alchemilla Tee, $68 One September Fit: TTS |
I really liked this tank. I need another blue top like a hole in the head, but I could see me wearing this a lot in the winter with cardigans. I added this to wishlist. Perfect to add to my Mom Uniform.
Here are some nice pics Madison took while I was shopping. She loves the details in the store as much a me!
What do you think?
