This is the last of my back logged Anthropologie reviews. Time to make another trip to the store!

Dotted chiffon blouse
This top by Odille is very pretty but all wrong on me. It makes me look really top heavy. The waist and the hem are just too high and it throws my proportions off. This is the size 0 I believe. The fit is perfect but maybe a size 2 would have given me a little more length. A larger size might have made the neckline too low though.. The gathered fabric in the front of the blouse puffs out and added weight to me.

The flower embellishment surprised me a bit. It is printed and then cut out. The beading is quite pretty but overall the flower felt too papery. Plus it doesn’t really meld completely into the top, just sits on top.

Laced dots sweater
I’ve been wanting to try on the laced dots sweater by Karen Nicol since it came out. It must be pretty popular because it is selling out. I tried on the size small because no XS was available in my store. I really liked the fit but I felt it would look a bit more flattering in my usual xs. It’s a little boxy under the chest in this size. The fabric is not terribly soft but I didn’t find it itchy. The lace is beautiful and well done. I was worried that it would overwhelm and look awkwardly tacked on but I think the lace is just the right size and really works with this top. Some bloggers have mentioned possible quality issues with this sweater but I did not notice any in the limited time I had it on.

Pattern duo tunic
I’ve been hankering for a plaid top this season but unfortunately the Odille Pattern duo tunic is not the one. Although it is cute, it’s not particularly special. I tried on the size 0 which was a good fit. The fabric is a very soft cotton and the top feels really comfortable on. I think coming from Seattle though, the tunic is just a bit too literal for me. It gave me flashbacks of my dad’s flannel or girl’s in their dad’s flannel circa 1994.


Rare Bloom tee
The Deletta Rare bloom tee is another top I’ve had my eye on for awhile. The draping on this tee is absolutely beautiful and we’ve already seen it look fabulous on several other bloggers. However, once I had it on I just didn’t HAVE to have it. I think the main reason is, it quite low cut so I would need to wear a cami with it. It’s nicely fitted around the waist but it feels a bit big on me through the shoulders and upper chest. The pale pink and turquoise are both lovely colors but I think I would have been more tempted if this came in a saturated warm shade
Now that it’s time for a new dressing room reviews trip to Anthropologie, what should I look for? What Anthro goodies do you have your eye on?

I’ve been wanting to try on the Late Afternoon pullover, Green With Envy jacket, Petal Shower top, and Unexpected Treasures cardi, but my closest store is 2 hrs away
You look terrific in the Laced Dots Sweater! There’s a new cardigan by Knitted & Knotted that I just tried on today that I think you’d love. It’s not on the website yet, but it’s a tiffany blue with sparkles along the shoulders. They layered it over a white Eloise cami in-store and holy cow it looked great! What about the Upended Poppy Tee too, or the Embroidered Thicket Blouse?
Nada- I feel your pain! My anthro is about an hour and a half. Cute picks, I will look for them.
Roxy-OMG that cardi sounds gorgeous. I will definitly search for it. My store is pretty slow getting new items though. Curse of the west coast
The poppy tee is on my wishlist, so cute! I took a closer look at the thicket blouse. I didn’t realized it was cut out applique, very pretty!
Oooh, I love the Laced Dots sweater, even if it DOES have polka dots and polka dots make me stabby stabby stabby.
*grabby hands*
Sorry the Rare Bloom tee didn’t work for you, though- I know what you mean though. I think on certain body types it looks AMAZING. On me, it just looks okay, but I love the color (I got it in teal, and I have so few teal things in my wardrobe!) enough to justify it.
My wishlist for Anthro contains all of the pretty new dresses that popped up online last week. Gah!
I want the Rare Bloom tee in teal in S. what size do you have on?
Can anyone help me get my paws on a S in teal?? they’re sold out online… anyone live close to a store that has one? let me know please!!!!!!!!
Thankx!
You tried on the three tops I have been stalking (dotted chiffon, laced dots, and the rare bloom). They all looked great on you, I am going to have to check them out this weekend!
Chloe- Omg I know, anthro kills me with their dresses!
Meli-This is an XS. I’ll be in store tomorrow and let you know if I see a S!
Debye- Happy shopping
