I’ve paused my Capsule Remixes for a few weeks as I try to sort out my closet and decide what else needs to go. Add on getting The Boy set for College and I’m a mess. I’ve been very casual with my outfits but still nice enough to run errands to grab dinner with Husband.

I cannot love this Zara Linen Top enough. I could wear it every day. I wish they had come in more colors like Black and Navy. These Loft Gingham Pants are so comfortable on. I still can’t believe they are a 6 Petite and fit!

I ventured outside to take pics for a change of scenery. I love our big Oaks in the front. 

And of course, the deer waiting on my neighbor to feed them. The babies are getting so big. Soon their little white spots will be gone.

Husband bought me this Elephant Top on his vacation. I had to do a little altering on it as the part of the top had been stitched with the side seam. He was very happy to see I was wearing his gift.

After missing out on the Excursion Vest in Navy last season I wasn’t about to pass on it again. The Factory dupe is very similar to the version from 2012 without the exposed buttons on the pockets. With an extra 20% off I ordered both the Navy and Red Currant.

~ Quilted Puffer Vest, Medium, Navy & Red Currant ~

I sized down from my normal Medium to a Small. It’s still roomy but I can layer under it as needed. 

The Red Currant is a gorgeous color IRL. It looks darker online. 

I layered my 2012 vest in Black all Winter. I’m excited I have both of these colors for this coming Winter!

Here’s the second set of reviews with some dresses and denim.

~ Embroidered Bleuet Midi Top & Pencil Skirt, by Moulinette Soeurs ~ 

The top in this pic is a size 6 and the skirt is an 8. I loved this when it originally showed up online but was a little worried the top was too cropped. It works well with the skirt though. The top is too snug and cut in at the shoulders and arms.

The skirt in the size 8 was perfect, though could use just a little Spanxing. There’s a little ruffle on the back of the skirt that I hadn’t noticed until I took the side shot. It just makes the skirt even more unique.

This is a size 10 top. There wasn’t a size 8 to try-on but I really liked the fit of the 10. Much better looking than the size 6.

~ Sweetwater Dress, Size 8, by Yoana Baraschi ~ 

I really wanted this dress to work but I couldn’t even get the back zipped all the way up. That’s usually the case for me with strapless dresses. The print is beautiful and I would be tempted to buy it on sale and have it made into a skirt. It’s just so lovely and will look wonderful on anyone else but me. Oh well, not everything is going to work. That’s what try-ons are for.

~ Rhododendron Dress, Size 8, by Moulinette Soeurs ~ 

I was immediately attracted to this lovely bright pink dress. The size 8 was perfect. Not too snug across the chest and a little wiggle room in the waist. And it has pockets! A beautiful dress for a Summer wedding and would work for the office with a little cardigan.

Because all jeans fit differently, when I find a pair that fits off the rack, without alterations, I usually buy them. These were also on sale, so for me a no-brainer to add to my closet. As much as I hate to admit it, jeans are a big part of my daily uniform in Fall and Winter.

~ AG Stevie Ankle Jean, Size 29 ~ 

These were a good fit but would need to be hemmed. The ankle opening was also a little small. I know the Stevie is a popular item but I can never find a pair I feel great in. I think with these, I need a darker wash and a higher rise, like the Ankle High-Rise Jean.

I did place an order last Saturday during Anthro Day so I’ll have a review of those items as soon as they arrive.

The last item I ordered on Anthro Day was the Terah Heels. I have been on the look-out for a nice brown leather heel that wasn’t a sandal. These looked interesting enough online to order. They also come in Gold.

~ Terah Heels, Size 7, by Klub Nico ~

The shoe and insole are leather while the heel is synthetic. At first glance I was afraid my foot was not going to fit inside the shoe. It looked really narrow. Then I thought if my foot did go in it would be really tight.  But my foot did slide right and and the shoe was immediately comfortable. The elastic on the sides didn’t even stretch that much either.

I am a size 7 and rarely size down. Though the description says these are true-to-size they come in whole sizes only. Unfortunately I don’t know what to say or guess on what half sizes need to do.   

Overall, I am really happy I was able to order these. They are comfortable and will be a lovely addition to my shoe wall.

I was trying to pass the time and days while my guys were still on vacation so I made plenty of window-shopping/try-on trips to the mall. Anthropologie, of course, is always a stop when I’m at the mall so I grabbed some full-price and sale items to try on.

~ Vegan Leather Fox Tee, Size 8 ~ 

This blouse made it to my wishlist when it showed up online. I was never able to try it on until it went to the sale section. There was a lone size 8 waiting for me on the rack. The vegan leather felt very comfortable and not stiff. The shirt is perforated all over so it could use a came underneath, depending on where you wear this. Overall, I ended up passing on it as it was a little to cutesy.

~ Noyo Tee, Small, Ivory, by Akemi + Kin ~ 

This looked really cute on the hanger but I knew it would be really full and blousey, even sizing down. It’s meant to be swingy and full but that a little much for me. I’d want to cover it up with a cardi and belt it. It’s probably meant more for those with a smaller chest than me.

~ Cartography Buttondown, Size 10, by Maeve ~ 

At the time, the size 6 & 8 were in the dressing room with other ladies. I can see why. Even with the size 10, I loved the fit, feel and the map print of this blouse. I originally thought it was a silk blend but turns out it’s made of rayon. I would size to a 6.

~ Astoria Tank, Medium, by Dolan ~ 

This looked interesting on the rack in the sale section but I wasn’t a fan once I tried it on. I would need to size to a Small for a better fit. The back is draped and open and would need a low-back bra. A pass for me but I’d love to try this brand again.

~ Shawl Moto Jacket, Medium, by Saturday/Sunday ~ 
Online reviews stated to size down in this jacket but the Medium fit me just fine. A Small would have been snug in the arms. Overall a pass for me.

I have a few more pieces tomorrow, some dresses and jeans. It’s mid-Summer and Fall items are slowly arriving. I usually prefer Spring and Summer arrivals to Fall and Winter at Anthropologie. I just wear those items more.
