I have decided I am all about the pencil skirt this Fall and Winter. Worn with tights and boots, or heels, they are my perfect dressy but no fuss outfit. With this in mind, I am eager to stock up ;D
I tried on Anthro’s Square study skirt in a size 2. It fit great, not too tight. Definitely enough room to move around comfortably. The past 6 months or so, I have been taking a size 4 in Anthro’s pencils skirts. That’s the size I took in the Cultural Heritage skirt and the Araca, so I am going to say that the Square study skirt runs larger than many of the skirts we’ve seen recently.
The Square study’s fabric was pretty but surprising! I was expecting it to be a more severe geometric but it is actually woven squares which gives the skirt a softer more natural look. I loved the paper bag waist, for the first time ever. And I think the length is perfect, right below the knee on me (I’m 5’4″).
My only gripe about the skirt is that the pattern does not match up on the sides, sigh.
I took a pic of the fabric tag and the skirt is actually 45% linen, 55% cotton, with a polyester lining. Anthro’s website lists the skirt as acrylic, wool, rayon, and other fibers. Not sure why in the world they did that because I was not too please when I saw that list. I guess the belt could be acrylic and rayon?? It is one of those sort of cheapy fabric belts. But really Anthro, let your customers know when you are using natural fibers!
I know, the flip flops make the outfit. yeaaaaaa
