Yep, Anthropologie’s site is down. I saw a lovely Tomcat error about 30 minutes ago. Now they have a prettier 500 page up. It’s times like this when I don’t miss working for a web agency one bit. I’m sure the site will be back up soon.
Update 9:15 PM…and they’re back.

Really like your site! I purchased the Snowdrop Dress that you showed on your Sept 29 posting — but I have no idea what to wear with it – much too cold to wear sleeveless – any thoughts??? Anna
Hi Anna! Lovely dress, nice pickup. I think you can go about layering two ways: first, you could wear a long cardigan over it, maybe open and cinched with a belt? Second, you could wear a sweater over it so it looks like you're wearing a top/skirt set.For the first option, Anthro has some great options like the <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=913356&catId=SHOPSALE-SWEATERS&pushId=SHOPSALE-SWEATERS&popId=SHOPSALE-SWEATERS&sortProperties=+product.marketingPriority,-product.saleDate&navCount=100&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=001&colorName=BLACK&isProduct=true&isBigImage=undefined" rel="nofollow">Juliet Cardigan, the <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=913606&catId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&pushId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&popId=CLOTHES&sortProperties=&navCount=85&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=050&colorName=PURPLE&isSubcategory=true&isProduct=true" rel="nofollow">Elodie Lily Cardigan or the <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=910258&catId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&pushId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&popId=CLOTHES&sortProperties=&navCount=55&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=095&colorName=MULTI&isSubcategory=true&isProduct=true" rel="nofollow">Autumn Sun Sweatercoat. Even if you don't like those particular sweaters, that's pretty much the shape to look for. Use a wide belt to cinch them open. This <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3033054/0~2376776~2374327~6012183~6012192?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6012192&P=1" rel="nofollow">Mac and Jac sweatercoat would also look great. You could try a shorter cardi like the <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=910116&catId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&pushId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&popId=CLOTHES-SWEATERS&sortProperties=&navCount=85&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=046&colorName=TURQUOISE&isProduct=true&isBigImage=undefined" rel="nofollow">Ruffled Cowlneck Cardi but I fear it may interrupt the flow of the dress.For the second look, try something like J.Crew's <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/sweaters/jcrewcashmere/PRDOVR~20925/20925.jsp" rel="nofollow">Cashmere Henley or their <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/sweaters/jcrewcashmere/PRDOVR~18190/18190.jsp" rel="nofollow">Cashmere Shawl Popover. I actually wore this exact look today — a grey knit dress with last year's Cashmere Henley over it. It worked great! Let me know if any of these ideas work for you. 🙂
Roxy – thank you so much for the quick response and fabulous suggestions!! I like the look – now how about colour? This dress is a bit of a heather grey — what would you suggest??
Lots of options! Navy, black, teal, deeper rich reds or pinks, lighter purples, grey if you want to go monochromatic.
Thanks Roxy – I'm working with colour – wore black for so long!!! Looking forward to putting this outfit together. Thanks for your help!
