Anthropologie Reviews: Catch up! Suki Sleeveless Top and Converging Bits Skirt

I've had some photos sitting around for while, so today's post is a little random but here we go...

Rainforest Morning Shirtdress (size 2)


I bought this off the Effortless Anthropologie Exchange which I have always had wonderful experiences with. This dress is awesome! OMG. The colors, the fit, everything. It is slightly tight across the bust but I don't care, in fact I'm thinking a cami underneath might help. love love love.



 Water's Edge Skirt (size XS)






I grabbed this puppy on popback based on all the favorable reviews but I have to say, I'm not feeling it. It's very comfortable but it just sort of hangs straight down off the body. There is no flow to it so I kind of feel like I'm wearing sweatpants but in bright blue skirt form.

 Suki Sleeveless Top (size 4)

Leifsdottir has become one of my obsessions this year. This blouse is so lovely in so many way but the band at the bottom ruins it. Notice pregnant looking side view. Blech. I almost considered taking it the tailor and having the bottom hem taken off. Not for $50 though. Poo.

After fretting about what to pair my Tile-Quilted Pencil Skirt with I finally found this little LEC Cardi in my closet. I paired it with my Ever Present Satchel and Ivanka Trump Indicon high heels and voila! I felt pretty good!

This is the Adalar dress my Leifsdottir that I am constantly on the fence about. I paired it with my newly acquired Lemniscate Belt and I love the combination. A keeper?

Converging Bits Skirt (size 2)

This skirt is adorable and extremely well made for $30. Slightly poufy from the side but I didn't feel it ruined the look. I decided not to keep it since it's not really my style but I would highly recommend it to others.

Still waiting for my Scully Pencil Skirt to arrive. Bought the S but found an XS. Will compare and post pictures later this week!

Anthro Reviews - Abstract Forest Skirt, Leifsdottir Sloping Skirt and Adalar Dress, Tile-Printed Pencil Skirt and Noon & Night Dress

Finally getting around to a few more 50% finds. Not really sure what I'm going to keep but at least I have fixed my "I don't have any winter skirts" problem. I do however have a new problem - Leifsdottir. Oh my. Every item is so unique and the quality is there (unlike some other brands). I wish they weren't so expensive - but at 50% it hurts way less.

Leifsdottir Sloping Skirt (size 6)


Looks super hot with socks and clogs, right? Luckily I wised up in the next photos and put heels on. I originally bought this in a 4 which was way too tight. The 6 is just right - I still don't understand how people take their normal size in Leifsdottir - I always find I have to size up at least one size. Anyway - this skirt is bright and beautiful and I love it. Prone to wrinkling but I don't even care. So glad I snagged this size on popback.

Abstract Forest Sweater Skirt (XS)



This was literally hiding under a shelf during the 50% off sale which was nice since I had ordered it and it had been cancelled. Super comfortable, right length, interesting pattern - slightly itchy. 



Thought I would take more pics of this because the last ones were of such poor quality. I think the skirt photographs better than it looks in real life. I would have snagged the mini version but I didn't like the colors as much. It is a bit of a show your lumps and bumps but the pattern is beautiful and the material is like sleeping in your favorite blankie.

Leifsdottir Adalar Dress (size 4)


Needs a major steaming. I didn't do a good job capturing the detail at the neck. There is something about this dress that is alluring - silk? Cool buckles at the cuffs? I think a belt would enhance the look. Still debating whether or not it makes me look like I'm trying too hard.


I think I needed more flash on this one. Was on the fence about this but it is so comfortable and classic and I actually needed an LBD so I think this will do just fine ;)

Still have a few more reviews... hacking through slowly.

Going through extra% off sale withdrawal.... maybe a martini will help...
