Anthro Reviews - 50% off

Whew. The holidays are over and here I am back at home trying to find a place to put everything. Despite my greatest attempts at not getting much for my daughter for Xmas (not to be a Scrooge but because she really doesn't need it and we don't have much space), we still ended up with a ton of stuff. Our house looks like a dress-up shop exploded. Anyhoo, I went a little crazy before the holidays with all the sales so I thought I would start posting. Clearly everything is not a keeper but it was fun to get it at such a great price. In fact, Anthro's regular sale today felt totally unexciting.

I apologize for the ridiculously bad pictures. I was just trying to take some quickly before I attacked the disaster that is home right now.
Here goes...

In Clouds Blouse (size 4 and 2)

 I was soooo excited about this blouse - snails, green and silk. Yay! Unfortunately (and I will try to take better pics later) the cut is completely unflattering. I think if I was smaller busted it would look better. I felt more comfortable in the 4 and would consider having it nipped in at the waist but it is still basically a sack. Sadness. Sad sad sad.

Tarpan Buttondown (size 4)

Love farm animals. Love buttondowns. This is cute, I had tried it on before in the store. It is a little short and a little boxy however.

 Peppering Skirt (size 2)

This is not a skirt I was initially drawn to at all. But, after reading all the positive reviews I decided to give it a try. It really is flattering and would go with a thousand different things. I thought the ruching would bother me but it is unnoticeable. My usual 2 felt slightly snug but I think that's because a) I'm not used to wearing things at my waist (where I think this is meant to be worn) and b) I have a gained my usual holiday tummy.

Tile-Quilted Pencil Skirt (size 2)

I'm wondering if a size 4 might not have been better. This skirt is COMFY which makes it tempting but it is also a little lumpy bumpy. Especially on the side with the zipper. Do love the print.

Sloping Skirt (Leifsdottir size 4)

This was a total random purchase and of course the thing I like best. Unfortunately, I really think I need the 6. I find it funny that no one else seems to need to size up in Leifsdottir but I always do. Sometimes 2 sizes. This skirt is gorgeous and bright and super fun but it is definitely too small. Ironically, I went online and saw that there was a size 6 available - hooray! But I don't want to pay $99 for this skirt I want to pay 50% off. By the time I called CS he said the skirt was gone. Boo. Alas. This is the sale game!

What else have people gotten during the 50% off? Any of the above items? Opinions?
