Reining in the Easy Keeper with a Cream Confection! The Anthro Domino Effect!

A Reader asked me a few weeks ago how I come up with my post titles.  Most of the time I make up a statement using the names or brands of the Anthro items in my outfit. I could have gone several ways with this post.

For Example:  "The Easy Keeper Gets Creamed," was my first title and would have sufficed. Or "The Easy Keeper Gets Loose with a Cream Confection."  I even thought about "Miss Albright and Tracy Reese on a Mission with Idra." Sometimes the title doesn't morph till the end.

   The Easy Keeper Skirt by Tracy Reese, is made to fit me proportionally. When an Anthro reviewer commented that the fit was meant for a low hip to waist ratio (not hourglass on the bottom) I pounced on both versions when they hit sale and were Red Tagged.

The skirt is basic yet appealing with the layered tulip hemline. There is no large detailing, or ruffles to get in the way at the wide waistband. Just tuck and belt over a top.  Add a short Blazer, Cardi or Jacket. Pick tights that coordinate with belt or top.  Slip on boots or pumps and your good to go.  It took me about 30 minutes once I recognized how awesome the tights matched the plaid in the skirt.





  Finding a top to go with my outfits is always a sticking point for me. My closet lacks basics, but I am working to remedy the situation! I tried several tops and finally decided on the Thru-The-Clouds Tank by C Keer.  I added an Etsy Necklace in Bright colors, and the Fair-Isle-Gloves, to rev-up the Pink Tank and White Coat.

 This is only the second time out for the Cream Confection Coat by Idra.  If you own this coat, then you probably hear a lot of  "OMG, where can I find that stunning coat?" Uh-oh!  Wet hair alert.

See me wearing the Cream Confection Coat by Idra in an outfit with Floreat's In The Trees Skirt HERE.

I threw in the yet unworn Friendly Terrain Belt.  The Reddish color is almost a perfect match to the Copper colored Cockle Shell Tights (I couldn't grab these tights on Pop Back fast enough) and the plaid stripes in the Easy Keeper Skirt.

I have finally got a handle on how to style the Loose Rein Boots by Miss Albright. This is the first time you are seeing them today.  Anthro had the color listed as Grey.  Oh no!  These are Olive-Brown. They also scratch as easily as the Berry Stitched Boots, and have gone through my Footwear Love Program. You can  find my suggestions for giving love to your footwear on a tab under the Header. This is also the first time you have seen the Olive side of the Reversible Leather Bag by Orla Kiely.  You have already seen the Cream side of the Reversible Leather Bag. Oh Yes! Two Orla Handbags for the price of one.

I happened to notice LC of Bella Seattle wearing the Loose Rein Boots with the Wightwick Manor Shirtdress. She shared her Pop Back in size 4, so I immediately ordered the dress.  Then I saw Keiko of Keiko's TanPoPo (see last photo of her Post) wearing the Shirtdress with the Bow-Tied Beauty Boots.  So I am super excited and worried at the same time.  What if the dress looks horrible on me or doesn't fit?
 

This is the first time I have found myself drawn into the ANTHRO DOMINO EFFECT.  But that isn't the end! Last night I realized how similar my Cockle Shell Tights are in color to the tights worn by this Anthro Model, who is also wearing the Bow-Tied Beauty Boots.  So now I am looking forward to the D'armee Dress going on sale.  Unfortunately Anthro has added TWO additional colors.

Is this a new conspiracy contrived by Anthro, or am I just now experiencing this EFFECT? Have any of my Readers ever been robbed blind by this ANTHRO DOMINO EFFECT?
Please tell me about your experience with ADE...

I think I kinda like it! My wallet begs to differ!
