Reveille Jacket ($128)My wish list replacement for the Skirted Peacoat.
Anthropologie continues to roll out their holiday collection. This morning’s new arrivals is not a huge release but it is certainly packed with amazing items! I’ve chosen some of my favorites to highlight in this post; see them all the new clothing here. There were also a few new additions to the sale section, mostly focusing on home items this week.
Teleidoscope Top ($88)The unknown Tracey Reese top from the other day
gets a proper name. (review here)
Flourishing Obi Tank ($88)For those that want something a little different
under suits and blazers, here’s a modern shell.
Tuck it under a cardigan for a more casual
(but still beautiful) look.
Oscillations Cardigan ($98)Yet another take on the ruffled placket,
this one toned down considerably.
AG Durini Stilt ($150)Ask and ye shall receive.
I wanted the Stilt in a darker, uniform wash,
and Anthropologie has provided.
Tuxedo Skirt ($168)Finally, a skirt that will not gap at my waist even in true size!
Flourishing Obi – love everything but the low-cutness. There are so many items I pass on just because of cleavage.
Hi Roxy! I'm drooling right there with you on the Tempting Trellis cardigan…I've been wanting a really femenine cardigan and I'm thinking this is the one…
It is probably just me, but some 3/4 or long sleeves would be nice. I am not much of a layer-er. Most times I am too hot for a cardigan/sweater even with sleeveless underneath. I also like one stop dressing (much like I like one-stop shopping). Easy. Still, I do like that first jacket (I usually end up wearing blazer-like jackets as outerwear) and the long, dark cardigan….
Roxy,Have you ever seen the Zipline cardigan in any stores? I like it online but haven't found it in the four stores I've been to….?
Anonymous – I completely understand. I also prefer not to do low-cut tops unless they are night-on-the-town tops. I want to try on the Flourishing Obi to see just where it hits.Sharon – Hopefully it will be in-store soon to try on! Georgine – I used to be anti-layer, but since I started working in large office buildings where I have no control over the temperature I've had to adapt. Jenn – I have and I did try it on, but I didn't have my camera with me. I found it true to size. One problems with it for me: it's very coarse wool. So it scratched against my arms (but not in an itchy way if that makes any sense). I didn't think the shape would be flattering on me but it was. If I see it again I will snap pics for a review this weekend!
How do you stop yourself from buying all these cute things? Whenever I read your blog or Kim's, I just want to go out and get more clothes after I swore to myself that the last purchase was my last purchase.
BTW — I had to return the Party Petal skirt. You were right..it was still too big even at size 0. Too bad because I thought the print and draping was beautiful.
Diem, quite honestly part of the reason why I'm going on a budget is because sometimes I can't stop myself from buying these cute things. It is pretty deadly writing this blog in some ways. They key is moderation, a practice I have not been good at in the past few months.I'm sorry the Party Petal Skirt didn't work out for you! I don't know why Anna Sui for Anthropologie items run so large, but hopefully they will correct this.
I do have a couple of other Anna Sui for Anthropologie skirts and they fit TTS. They were spring/summer skirts and the cut was more fitted at the waist. Oh well, that just means I have more money to spend on something else at Anthropologie!I'm an addict right now :). I keep thinking that since I'm relatively new to Anthro that the addiction will eventually wear off. What do you think? Does it just get worse?
It only gets worse. 😉
That's what I suspected :).
The Flourishing Obi tank WILL be mine. Period. The End. There is nothing more to say. Thanks for the great pictures and commentary Roxy!
Diem and Roxy– if you ladies come up with a method to stop buying items, please share! I'm afraid to go over my bank statement for the last couple of months. Anthro's fall items destroyed me, whereas I hated much of their spring and summer line.I really like the Green with Envy Jacket. I have a pair of lace fingerless gloves that would go perfectly with it.
Tien — This is my first Fall season with Anthro and their sweaters are gorgeous. I think that what gets me. I would like to see more long sleeves items..then I wouldn't have to spend more money getting a sweater to go on top of the short/sleeveless tops.Roxy — Have you seen a double breasted sweatercoat by Ruffian in your store? My friend brought it last weekend along with the Rare Bloom Tee in pink. These were her first purchase at Anthro. I wanted to look at the sweatercoat more closely on line, but haven't seen it online.
Suzi – Yes! I love it. If you get it before I post a review please let us know how it works out.Tien – Same for me. Was not into the spring/summer stuff as much but I am loving the fall items.Diem – hmm, I don't recall seeing it. It could be out at the NYC Anthros and I just missed it. Their gallery is Ruffian-ed out at the moment at Rockefeller Center, I'll check there on Friday.
Diem – LOL, I can't stop myself from buying stuff at Anthro, so the only logical solution (not buying wasn't logical) was to get a job there 😉 I think that's making it even worse!
Kim–I've thought about getting a job there, but I doubt I can handle tow jobs with all the other side activities going on. I don't know how you're going to manage it, but I am deeply impressed.
Kim — When I had a second job in retail, I ended up spending all my paycheck and more because of the 40% discount. I think what you should do is just spend your Anthro paycheck at Anthro. Then you won't feel so guilty…But I'm with you. I think it will be hard to resist all their pretty clothes at 40% off!
Oooh, I love that Ossified Sweatercoat. So simple, but it looks like it'd be incredibly flattering on the body. *makes grabby hands*
The Flourishing Obi top is already sold out!?!
Wow. It's possible that Anthropologie took a really small delivery of the top. That is crazy though. Hopefully they can order more if it truly is sold out.
