You were definite...What a great fit on you, Laura! You were definitely right to follow your instinct on sizing -- the 4 fits you to a tee. <br /><br />I think I'm sitting this sale out, though I cannot seem to get the Dagmar out of my mind. I stopped by the Princeton Anthro yesterday and they were out of my size. Might try one more store tomorrow, just in case. But I should really say no! Like you, I have a big car expense coming up: New Jersey car insurance! Ick...<br /><br />BTW, after your comment about your love for booties, I was inspired to pick up another pair: Aldo's Guillereault -- currently $55, and I got 10% off...and then just HAD to order another pair of shoes (Equia Mary Janes -- a size too big, but probably not a problem with the strap)...to get to the $75 for FS. I can't wait for the arrival. You have inspired me to try more booties with skirts/dresses!Jamie - Thrifty Threadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214915564875838520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998925528348211468.post-4987096255960215062010-09-15T23:09:19.411-07:002010-09-15T23:09:19.411-07:00LC,

The coat made me appear round. Shift dresses, peasant tops, trapeze tops, full skirts, empire waist...love them all but can't wear them.<br /><br />Would love to see you wear the Skirted Pea Coat someday. Oh and the Marianne Tank too. He-he!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863079804900618780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998925528348211468.post-91065211554566536122010-09-15T21:06:19.554-07:002010-09-15T21:06:19.554-07:00Loooove this coat.

I actually love the skirted peacoat, but that's probably because I scored it for $20. It looks much better without all the tulle!LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766152990735953232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998925528348211468.post-92163069340634135512010-09-15T20:43:39.107-07:002010-09-15T20:43:39.107-07:00Katie,

I was mad at the duplicity of it all.<br /><br />Something Anthro does well. <br /><br />Lori, <br /><br />Reviewing this coat for the second time was my pleasure. <br /><br />Lisa,<br /><br />I am mildly Anthro'd out myself. So I did a dangerous thing. I went looking at some of my favorite European Designers and got hooked on a handbag.<br /><br />Mia, <br /><br />Most of the time resistance is futile. But if you are truely in need of something, then it's OK to succumb to temptation. Does not sound like you broke the bank.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863079804900618780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998925528348211468.post-85022557706185522392010-09-15T17:55:30.191-07:002010-09-15T17:55:30.191-07:00The coat looks gorgeous on you!

It fits great!<br /><br />I tried to resist the sale this week but I failed. I picked up another Keeping Tabs tee (the one I currently own has a hole in the sleeve!), the Flight of Fancy top and a popback on my wishlist: the Slender Stripes wide leg pants. <br /><br />Btw, your story was really funny!Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10294695804400504704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998925528348211468.post-87605273316306514942010-09-15T08:49:09.499-07:002010-09-15T08:49:09.499-07:00Ack, you've got your Phlox!

And even better yet, you're obviously happy with your purchase so smiles definitely make everything look even better!<br /><br />As for the sale, I actually sat this one out. I think I may just be mildly Anthro'd out from the sales tizzy with the recent FS promo. No FS definitely makes me reconsider my purchases, lets me sleep in on Tuesday and saves my CC some angst. But I still pretty much want every single cropped sweater jacket that Anthro has come out with this fall!Lisa - respect the shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17271991199812031360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998925528348211468.post-21621712203628416432010-09-15T06:57:59.530-07:002010-09-15T06:57:59.530-07:00The coat looks so greaton you!

You look so mad in the picture (rightly so, what a disaster)! I am so in love with that coat on you. I think you are right about the skirt, it nips in so nicely at your waist and balances the look. So pretty!<br /><br />I sat this sale round out and there isn't too much on my wishlist for fall. :( I don't see any sweaters or skirts/dresses that are a "must" for me. However, there are some boots that I am stalking like mad and hope hope hope they stay in stock until I can afford them.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825536847895653897noreply@blogger.com
