Anthropologie Reviews - Yonina Mini-Dress, Otta Dress, Konza Dress, Celeste Pencil Skirt, AG Steve Straight

Went to make a quick return today and quickly tried on a few sale items that caught my eye. Returned my size small Scully Pencil Skirt - that skirt is oddly sized! Managed to grab an X-small which I will post reviews of when I get back from vacation.

Otta Dress (size 2)

This is an interesting dress. Fit was a bit off. The waist panel is nice because it helps give the dress an attractive shape but the top was a little big. Overall not super flattering and the colors are not great on me 

Celeste Striped Pencil Skirt (size 4)

I love Plenty by Tracy Reese clothes but I find that they run quite small. I would definitely want a size 6 in this skirt. The color is super cute but it did this weird bagging/folding thing in the front. Perhaps sizing up would fix that.

AG Stevie Straight (size 26 and size 27 respectively)

These jeans are great. Super sexy. I would almost classify them more as a jegging. I didn't detect a huge amount of difference between the size 26 and size 27. The size 27's were a little loose in the waist but looked a little better in the butt. Not sure how these stretch out. I think $164 is a lot for jeans but these are really cute.

Konza Dress (size 2)

I actually love this dress. Very easy breezy. The color is a bit blah but the details at the neckline are gorgeous. Wouldn't buy it at this price but would reconsider on 2nd cut.


I noticed this dress right away when the catalogue came out. The colors are absolutely eye-catching and it is another easy throw-on-and-go type of dress. I would definitely want to try on an XS because the S was slightly baggy. The 100% polyester content is a real buzz kill, especially for the price! Again, on 2nd cut I would reconsider.

Anyone else scoop something up at the huge sale last week?

  1. I restrained myself, but an awful lot of dresses from my wishlist are now on sale- possibly with second cuts soon? I love the Otta but know the cut is difficult without trying it on! But the print is so pretty!

    I think the Yonina dress is really cute on you- I love the mix of pattern and colour!

    Thanks for the sizing info on the AG jeans- I'd love to try some someday- I hear such great things about them!

  3. Thanks, thatdamngreendress! There are LOTS of cute things on sale right now but I'm really trying to choose carefully. The AG Jeans are awesome but I just can't stomach paying that much right now. I have seen AG jeans at TJMaxx occasionally so maybe I'll get lucky there.

    Shopwithm - love the bee theme they have going at Anthro right now. Might be tempted by the honeybee shorts!
