Oh model with small hips, how darling the Sideward Tank ($58) looks on you.
On me however my hips were getting in the way. I grabbed my normal size 6 which was a mistake. I’d probably need to size up at least one and maybe two to get the right look here. And at that point the top of the shirt would no longer look right on me. Not really sure why this is; the top looks pretty flowy in the mannequin shot. I suppose it’s just cut for straighter shapes, which I am not.
I also noticed that the material on this Fei top is thin. I could see my bra pretty clearly through the navy and on the yellow it was plain as day. If you look at the back view on the product page you can see the tag easily. This top and I are not meant to be. Back to the rack.
Odille’s Prevailing Winds Tank ($78) is a stunning shade of cobalt blue meant for the high seas. The straps are attached via darling buttons on the racerback. My normal size 6 fit well. The cinching sits high waist on the mannequin but on me it was more of an empire waist. It still works. I think this top would look lovely under a crisp white cardigan. Dry clean only is a bummer but it is silk. Now I just need a boat…wishlisted.
Pardon the nasty rust/makeup stain on this top. I didn’t notice it until I was taking the Tree Poppy Tank ($98) off. Here were have another slightly sheer top, this time by Yoana Baraschi. I grabbed the small which fit comfortably. I like the neckline, which is made of a base of ruched fabric upon which lightly polka dotted fabric turned into floral adornments are sprinkled. But I do not care for the lone straggler dipping down onto the tank. It looks like the neckline has started to come apart.
The flowy hemline is not too bad here. On sale this one gets a shot at my closet. Wishlisted.
Occasionally Deletta releases these crazy patterns that I love. This is the Paperpetals Tee ($78) and I dig the bold iris print that creeps over the front and back. I feel the top has a 70s vibe going on from the cut to the color scheme. The small was a perfect fit. I love the smocked waist that creates a flattering shape.
Still, this top isn’t quite me. I would love to see the same cut in a different pattern or maybe a solid. Back to the rack for this take.
I think I’ve finally gone looney tunes, for I remember seeing this Deletta top on the website and now it’s completely disappeared. Did it sell out that fast?!? It’s called the Rising Falling Blouse ($68) and it comes in alpha-sized ivory, dark grey or the green you see above.
I tried on the small which was a bit too close around the hips. I would size up to the medium to buy this. The green in particular has a Peter Pan/Robin Hood vibe to it that’s fun though a bit outside my normal style. The crochet work is all well done and the smocked waist helps the shirt to maintain a pretty, feminine structure. It’s lovely and it would be on my wishlist if only it were back on the site.
Such a bummer about the sideward ruffle shirt. I had really loved it when it first came out, but it's lost it's luster to me and the sheer factor sends it flying right out the window. So sad.
i love that paperpetals top on you. I didn't think much of it when I saw it online- but it looks really fantastic on!
Love the Prevailing Winds Tank and the Paperpetals Tee on you. Between you and Ashley and Goldenmeans, I'm definitely going to have to hit up Anthro this weekend!
I love the Rising Falling Blouse, especially the vibrant green color. I really hope it's not all sold out!!OT, why do your links point to Shop Style? It doesnt make any difference, I'm just insanely curious 🙂
Looks like some of the summer-y tops at lower price points are moving fast. The Bretonnes Blouse you reviewed last week is sold out online already too.
I bought the Prevailing Winds Tank after almost not trying it on. Normally Cobalt or Royal blues are my least favorite colors but I thought the top was pretty and I tried it anyway and fell in LOVE! It was perfect! I wore it for pictures of my husband and I (I'll try to remember to send a pic of it in action). I wore it with the Looping Lanes Belt which I also love!
Hey Roxy, the Rising Falling Blouse is still in stock on the website in all colors/sizes (style #013127), the page is just throwing an aggravating "This Item is Not Available" error. I had it saved for later in my shopping cart so it was easy enough to see! Dunno why the website is giving us such a nonsense message. Boo!
lindsey..elizabeth – I agree. In the future when our descendants look back on the crazy ass stuff we wear now they will laugh at our stupidity for paying $$ for sheer items. Sigh.Natalie – thank you! I agree the shape is very nice in real life.Kathleen – I have to warn you, I splurged big time on my last weekend trips. Anthro is deadly for wallets right now.couchpapaya – I am part of Shopstyle's affiliate program. When you click on the links on mah blog I make a tiny commission.

And a lot of it goes right back into buying stuff at Anthro.Anonymous – wow you're right! That's kind of crazy, I wonder how many of that shirt they'd stocked.Traci – the Looping Lanes Belt is proving to be very popular here in blogland! I love the idea of it with the Prevailing Winds Tank — do link us to a pic if you can!goldenmeans – boo is right. At least I'm not going crazy. I think.
I love the tree poppy tank & the paperpetals Tee on you. I super get the print on the 2nd one. Loveth 🙂
I had the same issue with the Rising Falling Blouse…it was in my cart, and when I clicked on it to reexamine the details I was redirected to the sad no-longer-available page. Yet, in my cart, it did NOT say sold out…hmm!
Gigi! I always loveth when you visit. :)Meisha – if you end up needing to call a store, Rockefeller Center was fully stocked as of a few days ago.
Loving the Prevailing Winds Tank on you – super pretty!And speaking of disappearing tops -any insight on the Melillia Bud Tee??? It was online, then gone the next day – I called CS and they said the manufacturer had pulled it. Then it showed back up online a couple of weeks ago, and poof! Gone the next day, again. Is it in stores? Legitimately sold out? I am confuzzled.
I love the pictures where your pants are rolled up/cuffed. That's such a New York thing. My girlfriends and I went on a trip to NYC about 4 years ago and the whole cuff-the-pants thing was so awesome we tried to bring it back with us to San Diego. It didn't catch on. 🙁
Jan Russell — that is so very odd! I have not noticed the shirt locally but I will keep an eye out for it now. I'm sure that's very annoying.Traci – hee. I think the look is kind of silly but it's a must when it rains here. The rain puddles and just does not drain, so if you want to have semi-dry pants at work you have to roll them up. Those are also my first proper rain boots as an adult — I think the last ones I wore were the ones my made me wear in elementary school. 😉
the melillia bud tee can be found in at least some stores. i saw one in a medium today at the birmingham, al store, and cs located two or three for me earlier in the week.
those rain boots are super cute, roxy! 🙂
I am also digging your boots! The Tree Poppy Tank looks great on you…but watch out, all the ones at my store were falling apart.
hi there! i read your blog everyday and loves it! it's so informative and i refer to the page for reviews on the latest pieces, etc. thanks for updating us on everything about our favorite store!! i love the rising and falling tee! it was my latest buy (in ivory) at the store and i paired it with the light pink alena skirt. i'm waiting for the brass tack wedges to come in next week and it will be a complete outfit!! <3 -dzung
the prevailing winds tank and paperpetals tee look great on you!i think i need to size up in the prevailing winds, your's seems to hit lower on the waist.
