Okay, I intended to make this post more sincere, but I just had too much fun making captions for the pictures. If you recall, I love making snarky captions.

It's been a while since I made a serious visit to the Anthropologie site. I was a little burned out after the orgy of Anthro-induced spending I made last year, where I bought all kinds of things including a $200 trench coat (which I still like a lot, by the way). Looking back, that was entirely too much to spend on a trench of that sort.
I'm not really sure what got me to go back this time. I think because someone at work sent around a link to the Free People "Vintage Loves" campaign (which, by the way, is totally absurd, especially the pricing!), and that got me thinking, and then I got an e-mail about Anthro's latest sale. So I made a beeline for the sale section, and picked out all the best of the best--and yes, I too noticed my penchant for whites, blues, and pale oranges.
$148 at Anthropologie. It's so perfect, from the pintucked chevrons to the halter neck to the tea length to the black accents. I have this problem where I cannot resist sartorial details that are difficult to execute well, like pintucks. And the whole thing is so utterly romantic. Be still my heart.
I really need to stop, but when prices are this good, and I have free shipping as a member of Anthro, wild horses can't stop me! If anything doesn't fit right, I plan to return them to the brick-and-mortar store.
It's funny how Anthropologie appeals to almost every woman out there in the way that it captures the imagination. It's some very powerful brand management that communicates a single, cohesive idea: a well-lived and beautiful life. Everything from the whimsical details (flowers and pearls on a cardigan?) to the lush weight of the fabrics to the jewel-box setup of of the stores works together to create this feeling of romance, creativity, and luxury. And yes, I love their clothing--but can only afford to buy it on sale.
