Anthro Day!

Today is Sunday and therefore it's a day of relaxation and of course a little bit of shopping. I took a trip to my favorite store, Anthropologie, and took a few shots of some dresses I've had my eye on recently.
This blue one I mistakenly didn't take a picture of the back. It's very interesting with a lot of separate pieces of fabric creating a "V" shape. The front has a classic shift neckline and flowy bottom. Even with the large print it's sliming and flattering - perfect for an office! This is no longer available online so if you find it in stores snatch it up!

(Overwhelmed Aster Dress) This one is also not available online. Again, if you find this in stores and have a place to wear it to definitely grab this as well. It's gorgeous. It has a full skirt with a slight sweatheart neckline. I am going to a wedding in August and decided this is the perfect dress for it. I have a very small bust and didn't have any problems with the top portion. It's an A-line dress and flattering for any body type. When I think of Anthropologie I think of this dress. Girly and gorgeous!
(Night and Day Dress) This dress also has a full skirt but wasn't as dressy as the black and white one. I could get away with wearing this to work and not being too overdressed. It wasn't my favorite of the bunch but it was comfortable and had a cute style to it. I love how the bottom portion starts at your natural waistline so it creates curves while still maintaining it's innocent feel. I also love dresses that hide your tummy so you don't have to worry about what to eat! :) However the only downside was I thought it made me look younger than I am. I may wait for this one to go on sale before I make a final decision.
(Cultivated Maxi Dress) This last dress was absolutely beautiful on top but the length just dwarfed me. I loved the print, the colors and the fit but couldn't get away with the maxi style length in my everyday life. Even with large heels this dress still wouldn't have worked for me. If you are tall this dress would be darling on you! Plus this one was on the sale rack which is always a plus. This is yet another one that I tried to find online afterwards and couldn't. It's a rare piece from their summer collection so if you have an Anthro store nearby it's definitely worth a try-on.

I hope everyone else is having wonderful Sundays! I recently saw Super 8 which I'll blog about next week... I want to give everyone else a chance to see it as well. Happy shopping!

Anthro Undies

It didn't take long for me to realize what an impact having great underwear can have on your confidence. It completely transforms my attitude when I put on something dainty and lacy in the morning. My new loves? The Anthropology intimates collection. I recently snatched up the morning glory collection but here are a few other favorites for summer:
