Just a peek at my Alice necklace… It’s not quite done yet but soon. I’ve been working on it forever, adding and taking away pieces. I wanted the theme clear without it being too childish.
Anthropologie reviews: Rushcliffe cardigan, Aylesbury cords, Ruffle plaid dress
Part two of this week’s Anthropologie reviews
I’ve been dying to try on this cardigan but was disappointed as soon as I saw it irl. The color and texture are just not as rich as I was expecting. The fur collar was soft and nice looking but I felt like it was swallowing me. I couldn’t seem to get the collar to drape correctly. I kept checking and it looked like I had it buttoned right. I only saw one button. I would have really liked it too have another button to nip in the waist. The cardi did not fit snug under the bust and through the waist on me like it does on the model. Underneath the fur the sweater has a large fold over collar and I think this was messing with the fur laying correctly. I took the XS, it had the best body fit but the sleeves were very tight and short. The Rushcliffe cardigan and High Tea trouser look that I so loved in the catalog was a total fail on me. The front length on the cardigan is very awkward. Maybe sizing up is the answer but I sense it would just be baggy in the body. Perhaps sizing up and adding a button but I’m not going to waste my time with all that unless it is on super sale.
Anthropologie reviews: Kinship blouse, Peppered & striped skirt, High tea trousers
I took the size 0 in this Odille top. I often size up to a 2 for Odille but there is a lot of stretch in the blouse because of the rushing. There was a bend in the ruffle collar on the blouse I grabbed, so careful storage may be required or occasional pressing. I really loved the blouse but I wish the waist sat just a little bit lower. It would have been more flattering. As it was, I felt a little thick through the middle. The high waist also prevents it from tucking in smoothly. The only other possible issue I noticed with the Kinship blouse was that the back is pretty sheer. Online lists this blouse as also available in dark purple but the color I saw in store looked like grey not purple. I’ll keep my eye on this one and maybe try a 2 in the future to see if I can gain a little length. A 2 might also prevent that button right at the waist from pulling but I suspect it’s caused by the seam and may need a tiny piece of fashion tape.
