~$50 (on sale, retail $129)
On the way home from Pismo Beach w/the parents last week, we stopped for lunch at Santa Barbara, and checked out some of the cutesy lil shops, where I wound up making my very first purchase from Anthropologie.
Sidebar: I know this store has been around since forever, and (esp in college/the first couple of years after), every girl seemed to be in LOVE w/the place, but I never understood it! Girls would talk reverently about how INCREDIBLY ADORABLE everything in the store is, and how very chic all the outfits are, and how omgIhadtobuysomuchstuffthere, but I could NEVER UNDERSTAND IT. To me, the clothes/mannequin outfits always looked like a slightly softer version of an LDS farm. No really, take a moment and picture the clothes...now picture the unauthorized pictures taken from police raids on those compounds. IT'S THE SAME.
For some reason, I *really* liked this cardi. At first glance, it seems to be the physical embodiment of everything I do NOT wear: flowery, pastel, girly. And yet, I was drawn to it, probably for the very exaggeration that makes it look a lil crazy. Plus, it makes my face look like it's surrounded by a field of flowers, and that makes me feel like a prettypretty princess =)
T, 1/6/11: LOL, LDS farm!!! I tend to gravitate toward prarie stuff too . . . but yeah, was never a huge fan of Anthro either.
These pics, blown up + showing detail, are better than the one you first showed me. Actually like it a lot more seeing it now than before. You're right -- it's def not something I would've expected you to get, but that shows growth/expansion/diversity and all that stuff we strive for (not only in fashion, but in life), right? Great deal, too.
