Anthro & Athleta - A Balancing Act!



I am standing at the top of the Sound Barrier behind the Amphitheater, looking towards the Riverwalk Parkway and my office.  Down the embankment behind me is the Bike Path and the Killer Kern River.  This is the only hill for miles around.  Plenty of California sunshine up here. You would never know it was Fall with all this Green.

See more examples of how I mix Anthro and Athleta here, here, and here.



Barometer Top - by Pilcro - Anthro Orig $68, Sale $40 - Oct 2010

My timing for re-ordering the Barometer Top was perfect. I hit the sale price. I truly love this top.  Although the cowl collar is a bit fussy.  I tacked the collar down in the back and along the shoulder, so when I bend down it stays in place. I totally recommend this top.  Christine has the Purple and loves it.  It isn't often that we both love the same item from Anthro.

Washed Velvet Skirt in Brown - Athleta $69 - November 2009


Here is a fine example of Athleta goodness.  The Washed Velvet Skirt, like the Sherpa Skirt comes in an awesome display of colors.  This is a fine wale corduroy that looks great with everything.

Lion Gate Sweater - Sleeping On Snow - Anthro $148 - August 2008

The Lion's Gate Sweater was well worth it at full price. For over 2 years it has served me well.  It's washable and goes great with Gold, Brown, Blue, and Neutrals. I adore the big wooden Buttons, 3/4 length gathered sleeves, and the hoodie is cute as heck from the back.

 

I know!  It looks like I'm blowing my nose.  I'm actually putting on magnetic sunglasses. 



Did I go overboard with the Gold? Both Heidi and Christine agreed that it worked.  They know better than to lie. Heidi thought the tights looked great with our (yes we both have them) Schuler and Sons Space Between Wedges. A co-worker saw me coming off the hill and asked if it was wise to be running around on grass in these shoes.

The ugliest Anthropologie Product shot in history.

The Belt is from Kohl's.  The year is unknown.

The bag is Fossil.  It was a Birthday gift three years ago.  Pre Orla Kiely.

Fancy Jasper 4x Leather Wrap - Etsy Crea Vita Designs $75 - May 2009

It was a bit of a balancing act to work so much Gold into this outfit.

 

I hauled on this weeks sale!  Will Blog all about it Friday.  That's the day my Pebbled and Primped Boots arrive. 

 

Now the blog editor is really bogged down with too many photos.  It doesn't like me.  So I will say Goodbye.

 

Tell me what you got from sale.
