A Modcloth Frock Strikes an Anthro Pose! Shopping My Closet!

I am so delighted to say, I shopped my Anthro Closet to outfit Modcloth's Frock Ballad Dress in Angie .
Even better news, I re-mixed a second outfit for the dress.

 I am full-on in love with Modcloth. I haven't ordered a dress outside Anthro and Athleta in almost 3 years.  Modcloth has great customer reviews, thorough descriptions, and the standard measurements for the dress were dead on target.  Modcloth's Frock Ballad Dress in Angie , size Medium, fits like a dream come true.

Sweet Shop Necklace - Anthro Orig $32 Sale $20 - May 2008

The price was heaven sent at $63.  Flat rate shipping is $7.  Anthro, take a clue from Modcloth please. The dress is fully lined and closed at the hem, with huge deep pockets, and button detailing including the back of the collar.  Zip closure is at the back. Dry Clean Only. Silky, smooth blend of 80% Rayon and 20% Poly.  Not my favorite, but I love the dress so much I don't care. And the waist for once sits at the right position.  Length is to the knee.

I wish I could actually unbutton the back of the collar
 so I can lay a continuous necklace under the cowl neck.

I belted over Modcloth's Frock to draw in the waistline for a more flattering look using Anthro's British Poise Cincher .  I upped the warmth factor with Anthro's Roadway Tights by Eloise .  Then folded over a pair of Navy polka dot socks to stay extra warm. Heidi informed me several weeks ago that Anthro's Sweet Shop Necklace was awesome with Navy.  So there you have it.  The Blue pin on the coat lapel, I found under my Entertainment Center several months ago.  I have no idea where it came from.  Imagine that!

I had already pictured Anthro's Earhart Bomber by Idra as the perfect topper for the Dress. I love the Salmon Pink houndstooth weave, and I just don't wear this little coat very often. So I was pleased at how great it looks against Navy.  At the last minute I remembered

Anthro's Chilled Facet Gloves by Carolina Amato New York.  So cute!

Does this all sound a bit corny or what?

 Now we get to the bottom of things.  My favorite Orla Kiely Bag.  Anthro's Sepia Crocus Bag, otherwise known as Orla Kiely's Dark Stem Shiny Laminate Tote AW08 .  See my side bar for all the State side stores that stock Orla.  The Fall Winter 2010 Collection is now going on sale. Loraine of Sweet Anthro Dreams scored a nice Laptop bag yesterday from PerriBerri.

For a POP of Orange color I went with Anthro's Dreaming in Stitches Booties by Everybody.
