Just look at all the pretty things I put into my fake shopping basket!!! (Just from Anthropologie alone)
(P.S. I’d link to these pieces directly, but I’ve noticed that Anthropologie tends to screw up when this happens)
Ignoring that it’s a lot of polyester (I avoid polyester as a rule), that most of the pieces are PROBABLY made in China, and that I really shouldn’t be shopping.. here’s what I liked:
WHY I LIKE THIS DRESS:
I am a sucker for bold, bright, cool prints. This one looks awesome. Too bad the reviews say that it feels cheap and sucks.
WHY I LIKE THIS DRESS:
It’s so ugly it’s pretty. I’d need to wear a leather jacket over this or something to tone down the sugar.
WHY I LIKE THIS TRENCH:
They had me a “trench”. But it’s also pretty, feminine.. and unusual. Kind of like a skirted trench.
But again, the reviews SUCK!
WHY I LIKE THIS COAT:
Moto + Tweed + Jacket = LOVE. I am a sucker for a topper, and this looks great. I actually saw a similar tweed moto jacket at Jacob in Canada a season or two ago, but the quality was awful (thin tweed, kind of cheap feeling).
This one looks nice and has good reviews, but I’d definitely remove that fake fur collar.
WHY I LIKE THIS SWEATER:
Autumn makes you want to pull a sweater on, and this one looks sensational with that glittery skirt. Glam meets casual. I could totally recreate this look if I had a glittery skirt.
WHY I LIKE THIS SWEATER:
Leather sleeves are like a trend that happened a season ago but I don’t care.
I like leather and I like the look of it, and sometimes you don’t want it all over your body. Just in little hints like in the sleeves? YUM!
The only thing I don’t like is that weird oatmeal colour of the sweater. If only it were.. grey.
WHY I LIKE THIS DRESS:
It looks a lot like a dress from Dior a while back with the striped skirt. I actually have a skirt that is already striped so I can re-create this, but this dress is SO CUTE.
WHY I LIKE THIS SWEATER:
Leather sleeves. Enough said.
WHY I LIKE THIS TOP:
It’s… different. I LIKE different. I can imagine this with some simple skinny leggings, a simple blazer or jacket… or just peeking out under a sweater.
WHY I LIKE THESE JEANS:
High rise! Do you even know how hard it is to find high rise jeans? I LOVE high rise jeans. These looks great. Too bad the bump prevents me from trying them on for post-baby fashion.
WHY I LIKE THIS CARDIGAN (?):
I don’t even know why this would be a cardigan but it looks fabulous as a long, knit, gorgeous scarf.
WHY I LIKE THIS JACKET:
So it’s not a jacket in the reviews, it’s more of a sweater. I like that drapey, loose casual look.. which seems to be my style these days.
WHY I LIKE THIS JACKET:
Mixed? LEATHER? MOTO!? Sign me up.
I like sleeves with an under sleeve as a knit or or cloth because I find it more comfortable than if something is in full leather, especially if you zip it up.
WHY I LIKE THIS TOP:
Bold black and white, a bow.. it would look great under a black blazer.
