SOLD 072111 Anthro Blog Sale - En Plein Air Dress by Eva Franco - Size 4 - Brand New - $85


SOLD 072111



En Plein Air Dress - by Eva Franco - Size 4 - Brand New from Online - $85
(Shipping Included w/ insurance)

This dress will only be sold to a known Anthro Community Member!

I will not tolerate anyone attempting to profit from this transaction!


This Dress is scheduled for delivery by UPS on Monday July 18, 2011. I had not read the reviews that the dress runs Small.  Size 4 was already a stretch. It will not fit me.  

In fact, I have already purchased the dress in the correct size from Rue La La for almost the same price.  

En Plein Air Dress - Size 4 - by Eva Franco 
Orig $258 - I paid $70 
 you pay $85 which includes CA tax and shipping w/ ins
PayPal Only

Why is this dress so cheap? I purchased it from Anthro Online, on Pop Back, at the second cut price of $69.95 with Free Ship at the time. Since I haven't received it yet, I have no idea what condition the dress is in. 

En Plein Air Dress Reviews HERE

If you are interested in purchasing this dress please email Laura at (lauramartinsemail@yahoo.com)  Selling to you is a win/win for me.  I don't have to pay return ship to Anthro, and I don't have to wait 2-3 weeks for Anthro to credit me. I don't mind the extra effort, as long as I know this dress is going to an Anthro Community Member.  If you are an eBay re-seller, please do not even think about contacting me about this dress.  

If I suspect you are a re-seller, be prepared for an interrogation.  I may request mutual blog references.

Did you notice something different about Anthro's Finest Hour Heels?  I replaced the Brown Ties with Yellow Ribbons.

Anthro's Finest Hour Heels by Miss Albright
 Yellow Ribbons added for a Surprise Color from behind 071111

I've been saving all those colorful ribbons that are sewn inside the bodice of clothing?  They are the perfect length for these shoes.

I've been bitten by the J Crew Jackie bug. Thanks to many of you, including Kristin of Lovely Apidae, and Stephanie of Bar Chic, I now have a small collection of these Machine Wash, Tumble Dry, Cotton Blend Marvels, infused with Everlasting Stretch. Seen HERE. The color selection includes Classic Favorites, Neon Brights, and Bold, Rich Hues.  At $62 a piece, the price is outstanding. I am wearing size Small.

I wore my Yellow Jackie twice this week.  



Sunspots Necklace - by Nashelle - Anthro Orig $198 Sale $100 - June 2011

I grabbed Anthro's Sunspots Necklace on sale a few weeks ago.  Roxy of Effortless Anthropologie recommended it.  I'm a natural stone type of Gal when it comes to jewelry.  Solar Quartz is a fancy name given to White Quartz cut with facets.  This necklace also feature very small Labradorite Briolets. One of my favorite minerals.  Remember "Inspiration that Rocks" for Labradorite?  


I woke up Tuesday morning and styled this outfit around the Necklace.  Something I have done many times. The outfit fell into place easily.  Something that rarely happens.

What is so different for me about this outfit?  I'm wearing Anthro's High Gloss Belt at hip level.  I have never worn a belt at hip level.  But with the Cardi over top, I found this styling to be very flattering.  I didn't much care for the look, minus the Cardi.

What element of this style is new to me?

It's the placement of the belt. I'm wearing Anthro's High Gloss Belt in Yellow at hip level.  I found this styling to be very flattering with the Yellow Jackie over top.

Corn Lane Slingbacks - by Chie Mihara - Anthro $388 - May 2011
I picked up Anthro's En Plein Air Dress by Eva Franco on Pop Back, second cut for $70.  The opportunity appeared during Tuesday mornings sale.  I grabbed at it before it disappeared.  Then I read the reviews.  The dress runs Small.  There is no way a Size 4 will ever fit me.  It will be delivered next week.  At which time I will place it on EA's Buy Post to see if a community member wants the dress at cost ($70) plus ship with Insurance ($8).
