First of all, thank you Roxy for having me as a guest on your blog while you are away! Hope you have a smashing trip!

I offered to do a few review for my guest post, so without any further ado, here’s the Watercolored Gems Shift Dress size 4 (style #24381253). This is my dress size most of the time at Anthropologie and J. Crew. The rest of the times I fit into size 2, and occasionally in size 6. I have broader shoulders as well as a longer torso than most, so finding a dress that fits properly can be challenging. That said, I was surprised this dress fitted so well. It’s a beautiful, thick cotton, and has a poly lining. I am not crazy about the latter, as I don’t usually like poly against my skin. The back is a solid blue color and V-shaped, as you can see from the 3rd photo. I would have preferred it a bit longer (I am 5’6″).

Next is the Checked In Cardigan (style #23964224) size S and pink motif. This is my regular sweater size at Anthro. I LOVED this sweater the moment I laid eyes on it! It’s also a cotton/rayon/cashmere blend, which I liked as well. A bit pricey, I wish listed it for when it goes on sale, and hopefully it will make it there.

Australe Cardigan (style #24342529) also size S, is a nice, fun piece. The flower embroidered on the back was a cute surprise. Yarn content is cotton/nylon/polyester, cashmere, and it felt just a bit squeaky between my fingers, a sensation I didn’t like. Still, I suspect it will sell quickly.
Lastly, since I am a sucker for pencil skirts, I had to take the Celeste Striped Pencil Skirt (style #24322505) size 2 for a ride. For reference, I am size 2 in the Peppering and Firelight skirts at Anthro.  It’s very comfortable and forgiving due to the spandex content of the skirt as well as of the lining. For a less fitted look and to gain some length, I would size up to a 4 in this skirt. The fabric is poly/cotton/spandex, while the lining is nylon/spandex. I’m not too keen about either fabrics.

Thank you for reading and hope this was somewhat helpful to the Anthro fans out there! Thanks again, Roxy!
