somebody stop me

I made the mistake of going to Anthropologie yesterday.
I also made the mistake of giving myself lots of time to poke around and try things on
(maybe the trying things on could be considered mistake #3)

Luckily I went to the sale room first and I found this:



and then I spied with my little eye

this!

 the photo does it no justice. It's gorgeous.
It's totally overpriced
but I bought it anyway
(apparently I look great in navy! I've always harboured a completely unfounded dislike for navy but I'm coming around these days...)

and this:
this dress is gorgeous but I don't think it looks very good on me so I may take it back.
I didn't get it in this colour - I got it in grey with a cream lining.
It has beautiful details - a delicate,mesh like fabric with a silky lining.
The hem at the bottom of the dress has pleats of gathers of the meshy fabric and the "slip" under the dress has a beautiful stiched detail.
But:
as you can see in the photo - the hem is uneven.
At first I thought this was a flaw so I went to their site to look it up
and it isn't.
But it's kind of weird.
So it may go back.
It was also $148 so I don't know if it's worth it.

Note that I only bought
one
item that was on sale.
I can never go back there....
(at least not til after Christmas!)

Happy Friday!

dress is beautiful -cinched waist is flattering! but does that hem line draw attention to your thighs? Umm...that would not be my look!

I am in head to toe navy today (with grey socks, so head to ankle)!
