anthropologie new arrivals

I went to anthropologie today to check out some of the new arrivals...

First up is the Raveneli Blouse. I am a sucker for anything with ruffles and a tie neck, so I was obviously excited to see this top in store! The shell print is adorable and although the material is a little thin I would probably wear a cardigan over it anyway.

Next is the Emmer Corset Top. I really wanted to like this top after seeing it online, but it is SUPER short in real life... granted I do have a bit of a long torso, but this top barely covered my belly button! I did love the shape of the top and the eyelet at the bottom, but it's just way too short...

I wasn't sure about the Lime Juice Dress online, but after trying it on in person at anthropologie I love it! The dress is such a pretty, unique shade of green that went really well with my skin tone and the fit was flattering as well. I'm 5'7" and the dress came right to my knees, so I could see how the dress might be too long for someone shorter. The dress came with a tie belt, but I imagine replacing it with a thicker, brown belt.

I really wanted to like the Here & There dress, but I tried it on in my normal size 0 and it fit great on the top half, but was just a little too tight across my hips and caused some bunching. I really liked the print and shape of the dress though... maybe I'll go back and try a size 2 eventually. I also like the fact that I could throw a cardigan over this dress for work, but also wear it out for dinner or on the weekends.

rodarte for target

So I'm at Target super early yesterday morning to beat the crowds and buy some necessities. Although I should be focusing on the stuff I really need to purchase at Target I somehow manage to work my way to the clothing department...

I didn't even know about the Rodarte for Target collection, but they had the whole collection there and even had small sizes (this never happens!) I immediately was drawn to the print on the Crepe Lace print dress and tried it on in a size small. The fit was a little big around the waist and upper half, but it was still cute and for $35 I figured why not just get it??

For a casual look I paired it with my leather jacket from Anthropologie and flats, but will probably dress it up for work with a long cardigan and heels.

Dress: Rodarte for Target Crepe Lace Print Dress

Jacket: Anthropologie Washed Leather Racer Jacket

night blooming dress

Yeah, so I LOVE this dress... okay, okay, yeah, I say that I LOVE every one of my dresses, but still... this one is my latest favorite! I am always a sucker for the dress that looks like a shirt/skirt and the print on the top part of the dress is just too cute to pass up. I paired it with the forever cardigan from jcrew, but can't wait until it gets warmer and I can wear it sans sweater. My only problem with the dress is that the skirt part gets pretty wrinkly... I do sit down for most of the day, but still, wrinkling bugs me... I'll get over it...
