Anthropologie Reviews: The tag sale ramps up with 20% off

An extra percentage off! So exciting. I think I got spoiled about a year and a half ago when Anthro was doing constant free shipping and percent off promos. 50% became a common thing. Now we just get regular sales so any little extra percent off is nice. I'm not really finding much I have to have right now but I always enjoy shopping at Anthro. The smell alone draws me in (what is it that all their clothes smell like?)

Modern Composition Dress (size XS)

In theory, this dress should be quite slimming. I thought the way the stripes curved in at the waistline would be very flattering. I actually thought it made me look sort of thick. The black and white stripes are also a bit too harsh for my taste. I do like the colors on the bottom. Fits true to size.

 Cora Eyelet Blouse (XS)

This is a sweet little blouse. Similar to J Crew's Eyelet Peasant Top. I find the lines of this blouse more flattering, however. The armholes are quite low so if that's something that bothers you, this is not the blouse for you. The color IRL is more vibrant than the website shot.

 Level 99 Slim Twill Crops (size 26) in Thistle

These are pictured above as well. They are cute but REALLY tight. I don't think I needed the next size up, it's the material they are made out of. On the thinner side with loads of spandex so there is no hiding in these. I think I would prefer them in a darker color. The buttons on the bottom sides are a cute detail.

 Astral Swing Skirt (size 2) in Nude
Empty Nest Pullover (XS)

I love anything with birds and the color is great but this sweater is a bit too silly for me. I like the fit - close to the body but not too tight, perhaps a little short. The skirt is interesting - looks like a faux leather and fits like a skater skirt. The length isn't obscene, which is appreciated, but I felt a bit silly. Good for someone younger. I think for this type of skirt, the style is executed quite well.

 Devi Pencil Skirt (size 8)

Devi Pencil Skirt - how I love your patterns! How I hate your fit and material. When I first picked this up, I thought it was a mistake because it's made out of that polyester that you only find in vintage shops. The size 8 was too big but when I ordered the 4 it was obscenely small. Plus, the material bunches up at the end of the zipper line. Not well made at all. Boo. Why couldn't they make this in cotton or silk?

Unknown Tank

I believe this was by Tiny but I can't remember. I tried it on simply because it stood out as something a bit different. The top is thick and made out of a shimmery gold material. It's definitely interesting but I can't imagine where I would wear it.

 Aveiro Safari Shirt in Green (size 2)

Sorry for the blur. I prefer this shirt without the belt, as the belted way is too 80's Banana Republic to me. The material is soft and drapes well and I love the little gold buttons. Overall, a nice shirt.

Level 99 Wide-Legs in Pink (size 26)

I really liked these and despite that the rear-end shot implies, they felt a little big in my regular size. After reading online reviews, I learned that they stretch out considerably after a little wear so perhaps that is what I was experiencing. I like the fuller leg, higher rise and longer length. Could be quite elegant with heels.
