Anthro Fitting Room Reviews!

I stopped by Anthro on Tuesday, convenient for me, the markdown day! I was really dying to try on the Grasslands Dress and boy was it a big let down! Oh well......I still had some gift certificate $$ to spend, so I ended up with a top and dress.


First I tried the new Landmarks Jacket in white. I liked it, but not LOVED it. Maybe the sage would have been better. I still really want a tan jacket and a cargo coat, so I think I will pass on this one. It fits true to size and it is tailored very nicely. My daughter just reminded me I have a jacket like this - haha - now that I look at it I do! It is a Merona 3/4 sleeve from last year that I got for a whopping $12!
The Natty Blazer - OK love! Didn't even know it existed, but it's awfully close to my Flipside Blazer, so unless I find a great sale, I will pass. The photo shows me in a large and it was too big. They didn't have a medium. It's soooo, sooo comfy! I could wear it constantly in spring!

Oh great sadness......how I wanted this Grasslands Dress! I so loved it online! I thought I could wear a cardi over it and make the skinny straps work, but alas, it is cut too low, so no go. I love the bottom ruffles - so girly and would look darling with cowgirl boots!

The Fireside Cardigan was a lucky sale find but I'm kind of tuckered out on thick cardigans and Spring is just around the corner, so none for me. I liked it a lot though and it was very comfy!

I missed the Wavelet, bought and returned the Ice-Capped (because it was dry clean only- I don't wear dry-clean only) and then found this baby, Partly Cloudy! It is machine washable and has the same feminine, detailed effects I loved of the Ice-Capped so this baby was SOLD!! Thank you! Can't wait to wear it.
Traced Denim Dress (see Roxy's review at the link). Hello perfectly tailored, classic, classy denim dress! I can wear you every single Wednesday night to church for the rest of my life! I have been looking for you for about 10 years now and we finally meet! Another score - it was on super sale, then I used my bday 15% off for a fab deal! Denim dresses are so in this spring and this dress is so versatile. You can dress it up or down, add layers in fall & winter, possibilities are endless. Looks pulled together with little effort!
Ruffles Everywhere Tunic. This shirt just did nothing for me!
Love this tank - love. Circled Adornments Tank. I want it to be on sale now! Hopefully it will still be there when sale strikes!
This was my own Anthro cardigan over it - I wish I knew the name of it! It is lightweight cotton and so great with so many things.
