I don’t know if it’s real or imagined but I am getting a distinct dancer vibe from many of Anthropologie’s new releases. Ballet dancer specifically. This could be because it’s that time of year — my family always goes to see The Nutcracker, tights are back in a big way, tutu skirts are suddenly hot, etc. I took one year of ballet as a kid and I was pretty miserable at it; I was much better at tap and gymnastics. It’s nice to be able to play the part now even if only through clothing. What do you think?
Daybreak Chemise ($88)This chemise is too cute to stay in the house.
Easy to dress up with a slip peeking out,
tights and a wrap cardigan.
Laissez-Faire Robe ($78)
When a simple cover-up is needed,
this romantic robe does the trick.
Midnight Blues V-Neck ($88)Simple yet elegant with a tie in the back,
I can see wearing this to a whole bunch
of different occassions.
I loved the Daisy Quarters Skirt. It looks great on although I fear it's wearability might be limited. You should definately check it out.
I think you should include the Skirted Peacoat in this post! I got mine last night and I put it on and told boyfriend "I feel like a ballet dancer" funny timing w/your post 😉
That In the bud cardigan is intriguing. Why so $$$? I have not heard of Stellapop?
Do you think the Laissez-Faire Robe ($78) could be a dress?
JenLynn I hope to see it soon for an upcoming reviews post! Good to hear your endorsement.Kim it would totally be included in the dancer's wardrobe. I love the look of the coat, the fit just did not work for me at all.annie cat, Stellapop is a Philly-based design collective that utilizes local talent for the production of their designs. It's actually really cool, you can read more about them here. I completely agree that the price is hard to swallow. Anon — I have not seen the robe IRL but judging from the product shot yes I think you could easily wear it as a dress. Would be nice and comfy I'd think!

I tried on a 6 (my store was out of 4, my normal size) Don't mind the boots but this gives you an idea on the fit (http://sugarandspiceandnice.blogspot.com/2009/11/weekend-fitting-room-reviews.html). It was a tad "puffy" but I tend to like skirts like that.
Oh, how I love love love pretty sleepwear- the Daybreak Chemise is beautiful!And I love the Bud Cardigan, but um. That price gives me heart palpitations, and not in a good way. Argh.
Those chemises are beautiful. The Naive Needlework slip is exactly the type of thing I was looking for in a party dress. The quality looks far superior to J Crew's knit dresses but I was wondering if any of you ladies wear these as dresses? I wouldn't want someone to wonder why I wandered into their party in my nightgown 🙂
