Fit Review Friday! Anthropologie Store Try-Ons Pilcro Ozzi Plaid Ruffle Sleeve Button Down, Maeve Shrunken Bennet Buttondown, Maeve Colette Magic Fabric Crop Pant
Happy Friday! About 15 years ago I used to love shopping at Anthropolgie. Every Tuesday, Anthro would add items to their sale section, much like Lululemon's WMTM every Thursday. My closet back then used to be 90% Anthro. They had such unique and whimsical pieces that I loved. Even though I don't shop from Anthro as much anymore, I still like to go in to browse.
For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size XXS/XS in Anthropologie tops and size 26/27 in their bottoms. I also wear size 4/6/XS/S in Lululemon and size PXS/0P in Athleta.
This Pilcro button down top looked really cute on the hanger, and I tried it on not realizing how puffy the sleeves would be. I'm wearing size XXS and love the fit. It skims nicely over the body without being tight. The sleeves are just too distracting. The fabric was soft and felt a little gauzy. I love a nice plaid button down, but passed because of the ruffles.
Anthropologie just dropped a dog collection! Before I became a mom to five felines, I used to be a dog mom. This is my grandma walking Chewy and Crunchy. Chewy was my dad's dog and Crunchy was my dog. She was my shadow. Followed me everywhere I went and I happily took her everywhere I went.
Chewy and Crunchy eventually passed away, I think 2012 for Chewy and 2014 for Crunchy. When I saw Anthopologie's new dog collection, I had to try on the button down shirt! Crunchy wasn't a golden retriever but, she did have that golden colored coat.
Hi Leslie! I also liked Anthropologie 15-20 years ago. I used to find their dresses stylish and unique. Over the years, I shifted more to online shopping and purchased less from them because they shipped from the US via DHL and the duties+fees were simply too high. The white button-down shirt with the golden retriever looks really cute! I would probably like it even more if the print were smaller. Have a happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Right?! So unique. I loved their clothes back in the day. The golden retriever button down reminded me of those whimsical pieces I used to love, but I feel like it's still missing something.
DeleteThey also had some interesting home goods I admired back then. My impression of the place was always “grown up urban outfitters”
ReplyDeleteHi AC! Yes! I loved their bedding back in the day. They also had this amazing Alice in Wonderland inspired Chandelier with teacups and saucers and spoons, it was a masterpiece. Free People, Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie have the same parent company - URBN.
DeleteI used to buy a lot from Anthro with my mom but not the past few years cause their prices and detailing is not the same.

Agree 100%! Without the cute details, it's no longer worth the price.
DeleteLove the review of the Anthro dog collection, I'll keep an eye out. Don't have a dog, but hoping to be more settled and then get a dog. Agree with you about the Pilcro plaid ruffle shirt, love everything about it, except the ruffles.
ReplyDeleteHi Jean L! Ohhh a new puppy! I hope you are able to adopt one. They just bring so much happiness.
Delete100%, those ruffles were too much.
