Anthro's Engla Trench Meets Modcloth Dress for Cocktails and Caviar!

I have several Anthro Brand IDRA coats, but this is my first Elevenses.  Meet Anthro's Engla Trench!

It's Shinny!  Has an exposed, off center, Gold zip! Non functioning double row of buttons! Machine Wash, Tumble Dry! Which I did last night so I didn't have to iron out all the wrinkles. A few discrete ruffles both front and back. Elastic wrist cuffs. Lovely Moss color, that is Brown or Green depending on the lighting. And Pockets! 

Funny thing I read in an online Anthro Review.  The blogger stated she reviewed the Engla Trench as a reader request. She also claimed the coat had fake pockets that were sewn shut.  Not true! Ever heard of a small sewing tool known as a SEAM RIPPER?  I'm surprised that a blogger didn't know that manufacturers intentionally sew pockets shut on jackets and coats.

Oh yes!  Modcloth dress number two!  Meet the Cocktails and Caviar Dress.  Deep Dark Green! Exposed back zip. This is the same brand as the Frock Ballad Dress. Nicola!  Both dresses were a perfect fit in Medium.  And flattering on me as well.  However, this dress is 5 inches shorter than the Frock Ballad.  Look Out!

Anthro's Horizon Cardi - by Guinevere - eBay - Apr 2010



But the most fantastic detail is the Pop-Up flower.  It's completely edged with zipper. That's right!  Zipper along the Empire waist too.  Isn't this the most fantastic dress you have ever seen for $70?  Unlike Anthro dresses that run $128 and up full price, I don't have to wait for sale to afford a dress from Modcloth.

Since it's chilly in the office for a sleeveless dress, I'm wearing Anthro's Horizon Cardi.  But the Pop-Up, zipper bedecked, flower detail tends to get in the way of wearing a sweater. I rolled the buttoned edges of my sweater to the inside and fastened with safety pins to make a bolero.  Seriously, can you tell I did this?

I hadn't even planned to wear any jewelry.  This morning I happened to see Anthro's Stone Garden Necklace inside my glass case.  I knew this necklace was an excellent choice to jazz up this outfit with some brilliant natural stone color.

Now for the Grand finale.  I used to save jewelry for last.

  I've been holding out on the Lass and Laddie Oxfords.  I purchased these months ago to go with Orla Kiely's All Leather Green Line Satchel in Ochre. Then I waited for the perfect outfit to come along.  It finally did. And what could be better than Green polka dot Pin Dot Tights by Eloise?  The $5 price tag!

And now I must get to work dear Readers.
