Ahhhhhh! The Pinafore Pullover by Rosie Neira. I got lucky on this one.
The morning of my Birthday I sat down at my Laptop (which was still functioning-more about that later) and hit the Antho eCatalogs. What did I find there? Three Pinafore Pullovers (sold out at full price) available in Pop Back. I immediately sent a text to Heidi D. We both scored.

A few weeks ago I saw Roxy of Effortless Anthropologie wearing the Pinafore Pullover in such a fabulous way that I had to have the sweater. It was then I started checking the catalog regularly for Pop Backs. Roxy had taken the Snowscape Tank and layered the Pinafore Pullover over it so only the neckline of the tank was visible. The effect is almost seamless. I love this tank, but have never been able to use it in a way that showed off the fabulous detail work on the neckline. Thank you for the incredible idea Roxy.

This entire Anthro Outfit.
Which Includes the Fisherman's Companion Sweatercoat which was cancelled online, but I was able to order from a store. The Attention To Detail Dress in Taupe available HERE. The Tapestry Tights. And the Berry Stitched Boots I already have. I am wearing the outfit with a different coat in the photo.
The Easy Keeper Skirt in Orange Motif along with the Piece-A-Plenty /Cardi (FULL PRICE) that I did not like on me at all. The raglin sleeves were unflattering. So it will be returned.
I also picked up Anthro's Haviland Sweatercoat from 3 years ago. This was my third attempt to win a bid for this sweatercoat on eBay over the last 2 years. I used a sniping service free trial and won. Yippee!
The Cabled Pullover in Gold by Moth available in Pop Backs HERE. To go with the Easy Keeper Skirt in Black Motif available in Pop Backs HERE. And hopefully I will love Miss Albrights Loose Reins Boots (sold out online- but available in stores) with this outfit.
The Blue Period Slip-ons by Everybody. Returned. Available HERE at full price. I normally wear an 8 and ordered a 39. They were at least a half size too big. Great quality and super comfortable, but a little granny looking for my taste. Although I loved them with the Roadway Tights.

The From The Poles Jacket in Both Green and Purple. Both were a size Small, but the Green was huge. So that will go back.
The Trickle Down Top in Green. I loved it in Blue.
Miss Albrights Prized Rose Peep Toes were a huge disappointment. TTS and comfortable, but the pair I received were poorly made.
And last but not least the Spruce Corset Belt.
Now for some disappointing news. My Laptop is protesting over-use by refusing to start-up. It is however under warranty, so on it's way to Texas today. The timeline for repair is unknown. My son's PC is located in his bedroom and not easy for me to get to. So Posting and Commenting will be sporadic at best. My iPhone needs to be updated, so it's very slow.
But I promise I will do my best.
Hope everyone is having a fabulous Holiday and finding some wonderful Anthro stuff.
