Styled: Snowscape Tank

Anthropologie at ShopStyle

This post is for Brittany, who was wondering how to make the Snowscape Tank ($148, review here) work on a tall frame. Brittany, I can relate! I wish Anthropologie offered more tall options — currently they only do a few pants. No tops at all.

Our first option centers around a high-waist skirt. This way you can either tuck the tank in (blouse it out slightly) or wear it loose with no fear of exposing tummy. You should find a skirt that hits slightly above your knee with a pencil fit. Black, brown or purple skirts would all work. Since it’s cold at the moment we also threw in a cardigan option. We like the v-neck on this cardigan so that you can reveal the pretty embellishment (like Chloe did in this amazing outfit). The tapered style of the sleeves is also great for dressing up the outfit ever so slightly.

We like the idea of black pumps with this outfit and couldn’t resist throwing Chie Mihara in again but if you’d like to go a less expensive route look for heels around 2.5-3 inches. Note that the heel is thicker than a stiletto — you’ll want something similar to keep the outfit tame against the tight skirt we used. The jacket, bag and jewelry are all frivolous but fun touches. I especially love the bracelet my friend noticed on the Anthropologie website. Drool.

In this outfit:
Snowscape Tank ($148)
French Connection Bambi Cardigan (now $50)
Freshly Fallen Coat ($268)
Robert Rodriguez Studded Skirt ($385)
Chie Mihara Ketal Platform Shoes (now $312)
Captured Knots Bag ($288)
Garden’s Gate Earrings ($24)
Spiderweb Cuff ($168)

This second option is the casual outfit. You can go for any style of jean you’d like here — boot cut, wide leg, skinny, whatever. We’d just stick to a darker uniform wash. The long cardigan hides any length issues for the tank. And like on the first outfit the deep V allows you to reveal the embellishment of the tank.

We went for two different shoe styles, both nude. A neutral shoe is probably best here so the focus stays on the tank. You could also do black, brown or grey. Heels are not necessary…flats in a solid color would also look great. We went for a bag that stands out slightly against the tank and cardi but blends in with the jeans. For jewelry, we’d avoid a necklace with this tank but earrings and a cuff bracelet are the adornments we’d wear.

In this outfit:
Snowscape Tank ($148)
CO-OP Barneys New York V-Neck Cardigan (now $99, extra 40% off in-store through 12/4)
Stuart Weitzman Sashay Nude Patent ($298)
Stuart Weitzman Swoon Hummus Beige Patent ($298)
Clouded Moon Bag ($158)
AG Durini Stilt ($150)

    These are both fantastic ideas, thank you! 🙂 I'm especially loving the high waisted skirt idea, I think I have a pencil skirt lying around somewhere…Brittany

    I blame you for making me spend too much money. After reading this post today, I had to run to Anthropologie (with my little girl in tow) and buy the snowscape tank. So pretty…sigh…

    My sincere apologies for the enabling Alice, however you also deserve my applause for the good buy. 🙂
