On Friday, after J Crew, my girlfriend and I went to Anthropologie to waste a little time and have a little try-on session. We tried on the same things in the same size, so you’re getting two for one today. For reference, I’m 5’2″ and she’s not (5’9″ or 5’10″…I think).
Algarve Beaded Sweater, Sz Medium – I saw this laying on a table and thought the beading with the cable-knit was super cute. On, not so much. The Medium was a bit fitted and a little short-waisted. We paired it with the Astral Swing Skirt, size 8. I liked this online when I first saw it but once I put it on it added too much weight to my hips. It could use a little less pleating. It hit me in the same spot in length as Cata and she could size to a 6 in this skirt.
The Emeline Tulle Skirt, Sz 6, was Cata’s pick. It’s a beautiful skirt and the fit was perfect in the 6 for me. I would order a Petite to shorten the length and Cata has the Karenina skirt from last year so we both passed.
Maeve always creates some of my favorite items. This silk sheer top, the Illusione Blouse, is beautiful. I am in love with the Waverly Blouse by Nanette Lepore but this will definitely satisfy my love and at a lower price point. I tried this on with the Citizens of Humanity Dylan Boyfriend Distressed Jeans in size 29. They were super comfortable but slightly big in the waist. But I don’t think the 28 would work as the hips were a perfect fit in the 29.
Moulinette Souers is another favorite of mine and the Toadstool Blouse, size 6, is super cute and now on my wish list. Some of the mushrooms are embellished with beaded which makes it a bit more whimsical.
Another Maeve love is the Taryn Crepe Shift, size 6. This little shift in the Red Motif is very Mod with all the patchwork. And where it differs from the J Crew Jules is that it’s not a straight shift. It comes in/curves in right around the waist giving you a bit of shape. Love that!
