First, I have an Anthro giftcard that's been burning a hole in my pocket but everything is so aggressively ruffled that I'm having a hard time finding anything that suits me. I did, however, see this blouse:

It's really cute but they had five in the store, all size XS. Great. I can order it online but shipping is $10(!) and that makes me mad. I moved on to LOFT because y'all already know I have my sights set on the tulip print utility blouse:

But I also really like this spotted ruffle neck blouse:

Overall I think it's a cute top but oh, the tyranny of the ruffle continues. At least they're tiny? Barely noticeable. I always keep an eye on Banana just in case things change and I did like the look of this:

But otherwise Banana Republic is a SEA OF RUFFLES OH MY GOD THE RUFFLES WHY WILL NOT END. WHY.
Finally, I wandered over to TJ Maxx land and immediately fell for this pretty Joie top except it's only available in XS which seems to be my life these days. There's also this Joie blouse (in more sizes) which is so pretty but not my style and there's this DVF top which definitely is:

But it's more than I want to spend and what did I just say yesterday about high-maintenance clothing? Please remind me I said that. Going to take a nap now.
I am looking at similar stuff in the Lucky sale right now and debating pulling the trigger, my wardrobe is currently sadly lacking in patterns. My fear with both Anthro and Banana is that everything will turn out to be that a-line cut that they can't quit. As someone who hates tucking in my shirts, I am sick of the a-shaped shirts everywhere! Dying for that green DVF though, makes me wish I was high-maintenance!
ReplyDeleteIf you go into the Anthro store, they will can order it online for you and will waive the shipping fee or at least, they have for me in the past. Maybe it's worth stopping in!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was going to say the same thing! They will even order things that aren't in store and waive the shipping fee.
DeleteAh, I forgot that they'd do this! I might have to go back. Thanks y'all.
DeleteGet the Loft blouse! You have been eyeing it for a while and those blouses fit well and are perfect for work. I have several and love them.
ReplyDeleteI will! It just needs to be on sale first. :)
DeleteI hear ya! I think there is a sale on today- just got an email!
