Anthropologie Fitting Room Photos

Peppering Skirt
I am wearing size 0 in the pics. There's some rouching on this skirt on both sides along the top.  The print is very stunning but I didn't like the fit of this skirt on.  The fabric was also more light weight than I would've expected.  This skirt lacked the tailored look for me, so it's a pass.

Slouched Sailor Blouse
Wearing XS in the pictures.  The mint green colorway is so much cuter but my store was out of XS so I gave this one a try.  It's flowy with big billowy sleeves.  I am not sure if it had the sailor look that I had hoped for.

Tiered Stripes Dress
Not a bad dress, didn't have the mummified look I had expected.  I wasn't crazy about the length, the dress/fabric wasn't super clingy, which is a good thing.  I would say overall, this is a flattering dress on and fits TTS.

Anthropologie Unconditional Osier Dress and j'aime shopping recommends

I tried this dress on because I was curious why it was getting such glowing reviews online.  I wasn't instantly smitten when I took it off the rack, but once I had it on I loved it.  I really liked the sleeve length on this dress, it makes the dress very lady like, practical and unusual.  It allows the option of wearing it on its own or with a layer over it.  I was most impressed by the fit, even though this dress has a very simple shape, it is nicely fitted at the waist and the skirt has just the right amount of gathering.  

I am wearing XS in the brown colorway and S in the navy.  The S was noticeably bigger and longer but still manageable in my opinion.  So if you are unable to track this dress down in your size, you could consider the next size up.




Last but not least, I want to rave about the Eddie Bauer Essential Down Vest.  It's very affordable and well made.  I realize one don't associate 'cute' with Eddie Bauer, but I have been very impressed by their selection, prices and most importantly their outstanding customer service.  Next time you walk by an Eddie Bauer store, take a minute and check it out, you may find yourself pleasantly surprised.
