Friday Preview...

Happy Friday, everyone!  I can not wait for this day to come sooner.  I have a few good reviews for you guys so here goes...

Showpiece Tee - $58

I first saw this tee on Aimee's blog of all things aimee and loved it right then and there.  I was happy to see it at my store and grabbed the Medium immediately.  The fit is perfect and the ruffley detail around the neck is lovely.  I tried on the navy, but I prefer the pink motif over this.  The tee has a described "cowl neck" but it's not your typical crumb catcher type...it's actually very subtle.  I loved the fit of this but like the climbing cowl neck tee, the arm holes are a little big and this might bother some people.  If you're looking for a layering piece though, this would be great for it.

Boucle de Souffle Jacket - $128

 My eyes always pop open when I see a nice cream colored jacket but I'm always wary about purchasing one.  If I were to wear this jacket, I'd wear it blazer type and not as outter wear.  I'd pair it as part of an outfit, but the cream color would get so dirty in the sleeves.  And this jacket in the black just isn't the same.  It's cute and I liked it on myself, but my fear of "white against the world" made me walk away.  It was fun trying this on though!  Sizing wise, I grabbed the 8 and felt it felt well.

Brief Meeting Blazer - $148

Three pictures = LOVE!  I have a  hard time finding blazers that actually work for me because of my shoulders.  For some reason, blazers just don't lay right on me.  But this one, OH MY!  It's also not your typical blazer either.  The cut is cinched at the waist and the buttons are angled down the jacket, flaring out a little at the bottom.  I only buttoned the top two buttons which is why the second button pulled a bit, but I believe this jacket was meant to be buttoned halfway.  Buttoning it all the way would make it look too "military".  Also, I love the scrunched sleeves, which made my arm look skinnier!  LOVE!!!  For sizing, I grabbed the 8 in this.  Online sizes 10 and 12 are already sold out and there are only 14 of the size 8's left.  They are pretty limited now.

Gifted Skirt - $78

I finally saw this at the store, and might have just missed it the last few times I went.  It looked so great on some of the other bloggers, but for me, I didn't feel it.  I have to be pretty careful with flared skirts as they can make my legs and butt look bigger.  I'm usually a straight A-line or pencil skirt type of gal.  I didn't hate this, it just didn't wow me.  The pockets are lovely though and the feel of the fabric is very nice...comfortable.  We hardly see any skirts at Anthro for $78 so if someone did love this, it's worth the price.  This is a size 8.

White Noise Skirt - $98

After seeing Sara review this and how cute she looked in it, I knew I had worn this skirt wrong!  I hate it when clothes are smarter than me! :)  This skirt is basically a piece of sweater fabric with snap buttons you enclose to fit around your body.  The buttons run all the way down the front of the skirt for you to enclose but I must have snapped them wrong because the skirt just looked awkward on me.  It also accentuated all the wrong areas.  I grabbed a Medium in this but it just didn't do anything for me at all!  Pass for me.

Bouquet Toss Dress - $168

This dress definitely had a 70's retro feel to it.  I loved the color and the silky fabric of course felt nice but this is a dry clean only piece. I can see this dress transitioning very well into the fall with my cute brown boots I just bought.  The key hole enclosed collar is nice, which is suiting for the upcoming colder months.  The sleeves are 3/4 length with a button enclosure.  For those that have bigger arms, you might run into the same issues as the Two-wheeler.  Sizing wise, this runs big.  I grabbed the 6 and as you can tell, there's still a lot of room left in the dress.  I have never worn a size 4 in Anthro dresses but I would have to with this one.  However, sizing down means the arm holes get smaller, so I might run into that issue. 

That's it for this week.  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
