Store Inspiration: Soho


It’s been one of those weeks where there are just not enough hours in the day! So here’s some eye candy to kick off the weekend right. Earlier this week at the Soho (NYC) Anthropologie I was fascinated by all the wonderful mannequin outfits. All four NYC Anthros always have great outfit ideas on the dress forms but if I had to choose one store I think Soho is consistently the closest to my taste. I would buy all of these outfits in a heartbeat! Here are three of my favorites.

I keep all of these outfits in my Store Inspiration album on Facebook. Previous looks include the Openwork Vines Skirt/Vanilla Bean Blouse look that several Anthro community bloggers are currently translating to real life.

On the dress form above: Percussive Cardigan ($78) over Placid Commotion Tank ($68) and Seven Days Bermudas ($78) with Boule Decorees Necklace ($118).


On the dress form above: Checks And Balances Blazer ($98) over Lissome Ruffles Tunic ($78) and Pilcro Bright Button Trousers ($98) with Sweet-Wrap Sandals ($178) and unknown necklace. (Closeup of necklace in next shot.)

Necklace closeup. Gorgeous!


On the dress form above: Left mannequin: Conservatory Blouse ($78) over Citizens Of Humanity Amber Bootcut ($169), with Pessinus Garden Necklace and ??? belt (maybe Midas Braids Belt ($48), not sure). Pineapple Island Heels ($150).

Right mannequin: Chocolate Chip Dress ($128) with Whirl & Wind Cardigan ($88) and Ghostflower Choker ($198). Uncovered Bounty Sandals ($178).

    I especially love the last look! I didn't realize that was a necklace/choker, at first glance I thought it was a ruffle collar! I need an outfit for my rehearsal dinner so I'm thinking this might work 🙂

    Gosh I love that polka dot "chocolate chip" number on the last mannequin! I gotta take a trip to the Pittsburgh burbs to try it on asap!

    tres tippy I think that last outfit would be truly beautiful for a rehearsal dinner! I adore the necklace.Jesspgh – me too, I did not get a chance to try it on (quick run-in, run-out) but am looking forward to doing so soon.Georgine – haha, I feel the same. Anthro is doing so well with me this spring; too well for my wallet.

    I actually have the belt paired with the Conservatory blouse…it's not the Midas braids I've never actually seen it on the website…it'd be nice to know what it's called though! It was $38.00 I think and the belt part is lik stretchy macrame…love all the outfits though-That necklace in the close-up is great!

    Ooooh, that necklace is gorgeous! It actually reminds me of the jewelry that a SA at my local Anthro makes. I always check to see what necklace she's wearing- so dreamy!!! You can see for yourself- karibeth.com

    i love that you have posted outfits from display in your store. i always want to shoot pix when i am in store, but i usually just try (unsuccessfully) to make a mental note. you should do a feature where people can send in pics from their local anthro displays…they always do such an amazing job with their outfits. so inspirational!

    Oh Anon that's such a great idea! I think I will do just that. 🙂 Look for a post in a couple of days calling for photos!!
