How does the weekend always go by so fast? Well, last weekend I went to Avalon and stopped by Anthropologie. For those who don't know, I used to LOVE shopping at Anthro before I found Lululemon. Around 2014-2015 is when my love for Anthro slowly switched over to Lulu. Walking into Anthro, I was mostly disappointed by their offerings on display. But then this beautiful cardigan caught my eye. I pretty much knew I had to have it. I took some photos in the fitting room, but it didn't do this piece any justice. I brought it home and took some photos where I could show it off properly.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XS/PXS in Anthropologie and size 4 in Lululemon tops.
This Seahorse Cardigan is just adorable. I love the navy/white nautical theme which is perfect for a summer night out at the beach. I'm wearing size XS and it fits slightly oversized but not too much. I do have the sleeves cuffed once and I quite like the look. Interestingly enough, this cardigan also comes in petite sizes. I'm sure the petite size would have been more tailored to my body, but I like the slightly slouchy vibe of the XS. You probably can't go wrong either way!
I love the white trim along the pocket, sleeves and hem. It's a cute whimsical sweater. The cardigan is medium heavy knit. It's not as soft as it looks, and it has a slight texture. I love wearing it over my sleeveless button down. I cannot wait to wear this out! It is sure to get a lot of comments and compliments.
I am just so shocked I found this sweater among a sea of frills and colors that is so not my color palette. 😅 I seriously thought I was going to walk out empty handed.
So not my style! 😆
That's it for me! Hope you all have a fantastic start to a brand new week! It's also the last week of June. Let's make the best of it!

cute cardi! I see it comes in petite online. do you think that would have been a better option? Leslie, I know you're not into dresses but can you possibly do a fit review on the BR Cruz linen maxi shirt dress? and maybe the colette linen mini dress and the mari poplin mini dress. they have some nice linen shirts as well. I'm just waiting for a sale to happen. I'm loving their linen line. ... Cindy
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! I think if you're smaller than me, petite may be a good option. I'm happy with my regular XS though. I think it's personal preference. This cardi is very forgiving!
DeleteI took a look at the BR Linen line. Most are not really my style, but I'll see if there's something that catches my eye.
This is so cute! I used to be really into retro/nautical pieces but haven't had much need to add more to my wfh/work out/rarely go out wardrobe. Anthro usually doesn't have anything my style, but maybe I need to peruse again.
ReplyDeleteHi LZ! Thanks! Anthro really didn't have anything else I wanted. A lot of it wasn't my style at all.
DeleteWhat a cute cardigan! I used to love collecting unique pieces from Anthro but I've gotten more plain with my pieces I buy since I reach for my basics the most. I still admire unique beautiful pieces like this though.
ReplyDeleteHi Janessa! Wish I had your self control. I do love unique pieces and this one just called to me. I think the last time I bought something from Anthro must have been back in 2017!
