I found these items while shopping in the Anthropologie in San Diego.

  

I knew this was a Midi Skirt and wouldn’t look that great on me but I really really liked it. There’s no give in the waist band so I would definitely need a Large. That’s just me with a few pounds to lose. I still think you should take your normal size. There are two linings, one of which is crinoline. I would prefer if the length hit just below the knee or just above the start of my calf. I don’t think heels could make that adjustment for me either.

  

I loved the Cabana Peplum Tank. This is very snug due to all the Spandex, reminiscent of a bandage dress. The girls aren’t going anywhere in this tank. This comes in green as well but I love the red. Though I considered sizing up to a Large I don’t think it matters. This is going to be snug and form-fitting in that size as well.

An exposed zip but I kind of don’t mind it on this top.

I loved the mix of stripes on this outfit. I would love to find a skirt like this but in a shorter length. I wonder how this top would look with the J Crew Pencil Skirt in Chevron Stripe?

Tonight, I’ll be attending a birthday event that my local Anthropologie is hosting. Below are some of my picks and what I hope to find in-store to try on.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
The Tylho Gingham Open-Shoulder Top is probably my favorite with the HD in Paris Cabana Peplum Tank coming in second. Maybe because we’ve only had a small taste of hot weather is why I’m looking at cool easy-breezy pieces. Also, I love Navy Gingham and the shape of that Peplum Tank.
What are you looking at from June’s New Arrivals?

I found two dresses to try-on, one of which had been in my wishlist.   

~ White Sands Chambray Tunic, Medium ~
This looked cute on the hanger but a sack when I tried it on. I definitely need to size down to a Small as it is really big everywhere. The chambray felt soft against the skin and the length hit just at the knee. It’s currently on sale, with today being the last for 20% off sale items. It’s a cute dress, but overall not a fit for me.
  

This dress has been on my wishlist since it first came out. It’s also on sale and though it was an “I need this dress.” when I first saw it, I wasn’t so enamored with it when I tried it on. The fit is good but could use some adjusting in places. I don’t think an Extra Small would adjust some of the fit issues in the chest or width either. I like the ombre’ effect on it but I can’t see wearing this if I brought it home. 
  
A few more dresses I’ve added to my wishlist.
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

~ Elevenses Windowpane Culottes, Ivory, size 8 ~
Culottes, Wide-Legs, Gauchos, non-skinny pants…I love them all! These were so pretty I had to try them on. They are cropped on the model and just a little cropped on me, hitting at my ankle-strap of my Terah Heels.  I would probably try the 8 Petite to bring up the length just a little. The size 8 was a good fit and these were really comfortable on. They are a linen blend so I think that there will be less wrinkling.
  

The waistband both inside and out are very pretty. They also come in Black.

~ Floreat Embroidered Lace Tee, White, size 6 ~
When I saw this tee I knew it was a perfect match for the Culottes. Considering the embellishment this was very lightweight on. Though sheer/see-through, the lace detail covers up the main areas. 

The size 6 was a nice fit, draping well without any excess material making me look wider than I am. I probably could have pulled it down a little more to give myself a little leaner look on top.

What do you think of wide-leg trousers and culottes? Are you a fan? It’s a nice break from all the “skinny” we’ve been seeing the last few years.

I apologize. I had full intentions on posting right after the Fashion Show but sometimes you get in a rut. To pick up from the Anthropologie Fashion I have some try-ons.

The store was pretty busy, of course, after the Fashion Show so I quickly walked the store to find some things to try on.

  
~ Embroidered Shorts, size 8 ~
I think these are by Elevenses but I didn’t grab a pic of the inside tag. These are high-waisted and look to have about a 4 to 5-inch inseam. I liked the fit of these on until I started moving around. The waist kept shifting and the hem/inseam of the shorts kept riding up. I don’t want to have to fidget with my shorts all day. Though I loved the embroidery and colors of the shorts they are a pass. (As soon as I found out what these are I’ll update with a link.)
  
Pretty pops of neon pink throughout.
~ Hei Hei Embroidered Linen Crops, Grey, size 29 ~
I loved these linen pants. I think it was not only the color but the embroidery along the side. Though they are crops the size 29 hit me right at the floor. These are a relaxed fit and though I might be able to fit into a 28, I like the relaxed look of the 29s. If I were to get these, I’d have to probably get them hemmed to be cropped. There is a button holding up the hem so that would have to go, along with the strap. Usually you see this on shirts. 
  
I saw Ivory and Wine in-store and there is also Green showing up online. They Grey is my favorite color of the four.
~ Lynden Chambray Tank, White, Medium ~

Online there is only the light denim color but I did find White in-store. I wanted something neutral to try on with the bottoms I grabbed and chose this tank. It’s not really a favorite of mine. The fit is ok but it just kind of hung there. It definitely needs a cardigan or pretty jewelry to liven it up. The Medium is a good fit but I think I could size to a Small to deal with the gaping at the arms.

~ Maeve Fluttered Maya Blouse, Neutral Motif, size 8 ~
I love the look of the flowy-ness of this blouse. It comes in both solids and several print options. The size 8 fit well but I think I could size down to a Petite or a size 6. I do like how the flutter-sleeve covers my upper arms but overall, I think I can do better. I have added it to my wishlist hoping to catch it on sale.

And what I wore to the Fashion Show. The Nimbin Peasant Blouse was in the 2013 Fashion Show and it was the one item I bought that day. I’ve worn it several times but have never posted a Que Bella. The shorts are the J Crew Pleated Structured Short from a few years ago. {Factory} The shoes are from Anthropologie last year, the Terah Heels. They are perfect for transitioning into Spring with an open-toe but not fully a sandal.

Have a Great Day! I have a lot of goodies to review over the next few days! Hope you come back by!
