Christmas Part Two!!

Labels: , - Sunday, January 3, 2010

My wonderful in-laws got me the two best J. Crew cardigans for Christmas!

First, my beloved polka dot cardi!



And second, the clustered constellations sweater, which is SO gorgeous, but I'm afraid I might have to take it back - it's a little too long on me, and at my height, it makes me look a little stumpy. I'm bummed because it's honestly just so detailed and pretty... sigh. Such is the burden of being short. ;)


Then I did get to stop at Anthro, and I ended up getting the Forever Garden tee I thought I needed to try in person. The reviews are right - it IS a bit low cut, but I figure a cami will fix that pretty quick. The colors are very Spring-y and cheerful! Perfect for when you have two feet of snow on the ground :P

The Spotlights tank I'm so in love with wasn't available in the store, but they did order it for me with free shipping.

The Ruffles Everywhere tunic was, in fact, a bit drab on. Now this - I've never actually really noticed the Converging Roads sweater dress online. But it caught my eye in the store, and I loved it. At $138, it's a bit steep for me, but maybe it will go on sale. Then again, they only have L and XL left online, so the odds of it going on sale are probably not great.

I'm of the same mindset about the Here and Now tee. I loved it and it would be really cute under cardigans, but $88 for a tee - I just couldn't pull the trigger. It looks like it might be the same deal, though - only XLs left online, so I might be SOL on this one.


The last hurrah

Headed to Nebraska this weekend to do Christmas with Paul's parents, and I think it will be a last trup to Anthro for me for a while since I doubt I will be fitting into their stuff much longer! Here's what I'll be checking out in person.

IF they have these in the store, they will be very hard for me to pass up. I've been eyeing them online for quite some time, but even at $70 on sale they are a little rich for me. Seeing them in person might tip me over the edge, though.



$148 for a tank is waaaay rich for my blood, but I think I'd like to try it on just for fun.




Flowy top? Fun colors? Check and check.


Again - flowy, fun design, would be cute under cardis and I think that drawstring might adjust to the baby bump quite nicely.

$88 is a bit much for what is essentially a t-shirt, but I'd like to try it.




I've mentioned before that this didn't get great reviews, but I love the colors and the price is definitely right. Another "let's give it a shot" type of top.

Again... too pricey for a tank, even though I understand that it has a lot of embellishments that raise the price. But I'd like to try it on, and who knows - maybe we'll get a New Year's Day markdown surprise!


Pretty, but I'm not sure it's original enough. Tons of retailers are doing cardis with the cloth or ribbon flowers, and I know I can find one for less elsewhere.




This is what I'm REALLY looking for. For such an original, fun top, I think $50 is a pretty reasonable price for Anthro. Love these colors and think it would be adorable under various cardis.


I think I could also still wear this - my skinny jeans are low-rise enough that they still fit, and this looks like it might still work for me. I'm slightly leery of the buttons, but it's worth trying!



Ditto this one. It looks like a vague tunic version of my very favorite Anthro dress ever, so I would love to have something similar to it that I could wear during pregnancy.




And here are some things I would be lusting over if I had a waistline right now. Perhaps it's best that I don't ;)














I don't know, the skirted peacoat could still be a possibility. But probably not just for the fact that I actually NEED flowy tops - I have tons of coats and jackets already.
































OMG I NEED TO STOP

$88 plus shipping on Jcrew.com, $58 and free shipping on eBay. I couldn't pass it up. But I am starting to feel guilty about all of the money I am spending on myself right at Christmas. However, if you'll notice, I go through these phases. I have a shopping spree and then I buy nothing for months. Plus I told Paul to cut back on his Christmas spending for me because I have certainly bought myself enough lately. That evens things out... right?
