Anthro Gets the Modcloth SQUEEZE! Fresh Anthro Closet Chaos Picks!

I spend just as much time browsing Modcloth's site as I do Anthropologie.  I know, that sounds so strange coming from an Anthro Addict like me.

 Meet Modcloth's Look On The Sunny Side Dress minus the juvenial Black bow tie.  A quick session with a seam ripper and wallah, I've got a very wearable dress.  Even better on sale. It's a Silk Viscose Blend, that is obviously going to wrinkle badly.  I'm a size Medium with Modcloth, and a Small with Anthro.  This dress is a bit large on top, while a little narrow through the hips. Thankfully, that's exactly how I'm proportioned.  Fortunately for me, most of the female population is Hour Glass.  So I luck out on sale.

Modcloth's sale is ending soon.  Shipping is free over $100.  But even when it isn't free, the flat rate is $7.  I placed a large Anthro order yesterday to the tune of $20 for shipping.  So Modcloth looks very attractive when money is tight. 



Major Style Jacket - by Theme - Modcloth Orig $95 Sale $47 - Jan 2011



The Major Style Jacket by Theme fits a little wonky.  The sleeves are too long, so I folded them under.  And due to the angled buttons, it just looks off at the waistline. The fabric is 50% Wool and 50% Chemical.  What the...  It's made in China and the washing instructions specify "NO BLOEACH."  Ha-ha! The Medium is a little on the large side. But I like my Blazers slightly over sized.

Look Out!  Anthro Incoming!  I love Eloise's Mullion Tights in Brown with Pink plaid to add a touch of color alongside theYellow and Brown.  I struggled between several pairs of shoes and booties.  In steps the Rensselaer T Straps to add some sophistication. Along with my favorite Orla Kiely Handbag.

Fortified Flora Necklace - Anthro Orig $42 Sale $20 - Mar 2010

The Fortified Flora Necklace was the perfect item to tie all the colors together.   The necklace begged to differ!  A few minutes after arriving at work, it insisted on falling apart.  I had secured it with super glue last year.  Looks like I will have to make a trip to Target between two back to back all day meetings.  This is exactly why I stay as far away from cheap jewelry as possible. But it is very cute with this outfit.

I was really bad yesterday.  How bad was I?  I literally fell off the wagon, right on my behind. See the first 6 entries in my New Items Folder HERE. 

AHHHH!
