Finally Friday!

Happy Friday!  I am so happy that we are headed into another weekend.  We are expecting SNOW here in the Bay Area - a rare occurrence which we are all looking forward to...assuming the weather people are correct!

Anyhow, I did stop by Anthropologie yesterday and tried on a few things that were of interest on the website...The Rise and Shine Dress, Tied Down Dress, Gathering Tank and Squeezebox Tank.  The photos are awful ... I clearly have not mastered the one-handed photo taking and the lighting in the room I was in was horrible.  When I stepped out to take a photo in the main area, I was told that wasn't allowed!  Whatever!

Tied Down Dress - size 2 - $98 - This dress does not come with a belt but I have used the Media Via Belt in dark brown (it also comes in Cognac).  I love the cowl neckline and cute ties at the shoulders.  This is something I could wear to work with a cadigan over it on a more casual day.  The fit in the bust was perfect and I liked that the skirt was not too full but still had some "flow" to it.  I would stick to your usual size, but perhaps try  size down if you are smaller chested.  I do wish this dress came in other colors - the blue is nice, but some other options for summer would be nice.

Rise and Shine Dress - Size 2 - $98 - This dress had me from the beginning.  It is a light denim material with an A-line shape (and clearly needs steaming in the photo!).  Shown is the size 2, which pulled at the bust as you can see!  I tried on the 4 and the fit was much better.  This dress is darling with the flowered sash or belted.  I can see myself wearing this with a cute t-shirt underneath or as is for hotter, summer days.  The negative with the dress is that the straps are not adjustable, I was not effected by this omission but I can see that others would be.  Definitely a yes on this dress is a size 4. 

Gathering Tank - size XS - $48 - Not really a tank, huh?!  I love this little top - a little sheer but with a nude bra you'd be okay.  The length was fine for me and I loved the cap sleeves.  This is another great basic from Anthropologie that I will wear all summer.  Fit is TTS, but size up if you want a flowier look and feel.

Squeezebox Top - size XS - $48.  They only had the navy at my store and the photo was horrible, so I will spare you that!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE this top.  It is made of the softest cotton!  This can be dressed up or down; great with jeans, shorts or skits.  The design is very slimming and the pleats are darling.  A fantastic basic from Anthropologie!  

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
