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

Engla Trench - by Elevenses - Anthro Orig $199 Sale $100 - Jan 2011 Pin Dot Tights Brown - Carmel CA Anthro, Sale $5 - Apr 2010 Lass And Laddie Oxfords - by Poetic License - Anthro $98 Sold Out - Aug 2010 All Leather Green Line Satchel in Ochre - by Orla Kiely SS09 - Orla Kiely US Orig $598 Sale $398 - July 200 |
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!

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.

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.
