Anthropologie Holiday Event

Last Thursday Catalina and I headed to Anthropologie for their Holiday Event. They had some treats, champagne and Holiday outfits pulled together for any events we might be attending.

Catalina and I both tried on the Bedford Pullover. She in the Violet in a Medium and I in the Dark Green in Small. She wanted to size down and I to size up. The sweater is very soft Angora but we also felt it was pretty itchy and shed like crazy so it was a pass for both of us. I loved the saturated colors in both the sweaters though.

I also tried on the Snowrose Skirt in a Medium. I absolutely loved the skirt but it was too long for me. The colors are not a vibrant as online but the little details of the print, like the ship in the background, were a nice touch. Cata tried it on as well and fit her much better in length than me.

I loved the Cabled Cowl Pullover on Cata. She has on a Medium but felt she could go down to a Small in this sweater. This seems so cozy for Christmas Eve by the fire.

I loved the Sparkled Frond Peplum Blouse but there was not a Medium for me to try so I have on a Small. I definitely need a Medium as I couldn’t even zip this up the back. The Flounced Ponte Pencil Skirt by Girls from Savoy hugged my curves in a wonderful way. The size Medium was a perfect fit though I was very happy Cata was in the dressing room for a little zipper help.

I wish I had tried on the Brushstroke Blossoms Dress before my Holiday party last week. This Peter Som dress is perfect for the Holiday parties and even New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a size 8 for me to try on so this is a 6. Again, I couldn’t zip it up the back and didn’t try for fear of getting stuck in it.

I have had my eye on the Scalloped Leather Skater Skirt ever since it showed up online. The green is divine and the scallops at the hem are a perfect little detail. Again, sizing was an issue as this was a return and the only one in store. I have on a size 6 and the Rennes Sweater in Bronze was hiding the un-zipped top portion of the skirt. The sweater, Small, was very comfortable and cozy. I have wishlisted this skirt in both the 10 and the 10 Petite. If it makes it to sale I’ll make my decision then.

The event was fun but most of the sizes for the items Cata and I tried on were sold out. That just means we picked the popular Holiday items. 
Have you picked up any of these for any festive events?

    Th peplum top and ponte pencil skirt look great on you, audrey!

    Agree about the snowrose skirt….when I saw it I thought of WMM, since she wanted a skirt like that. 🙂

      Thanks Rose! Yes, the Snowrose Skirt is very WMM. I did not see fancy pants but saw the Sequined Maxi and thought of her too.

    Darn it- I hate it when they don't have all the sizes in stock! The Peter Som dress looks great- and I think it has year-round potential actually!

    I love the Rennes sweater with the green leather skirt- would love to try that. maybe just for fun!

      ThatDamnGreenDress – I was quite surprised because my store always has plenty of sizes. But we did try on some really cute stuff so I can see why our sizes were not available. That green leather skirt is giving me heartache. I want it so bad but that price…ugh.
