A couple weeks ago, beautiful Andi at Saltwater Dreams did an OOTD post wearing Anthropologie's pretty Chantico Tank (which has recently been restocked online and is now available in black as well!). I told her I had this top and she wondered how it looked on me, considering our body types are different and we both bought the tank in the same size. Well, this is for you Andi!
I love this top. Its so pretty. It reminds me of a Greek Goddess, and as Andi pointed out, its very forgiving due to all the draping, so if you are having one of those days, this is the top to wear that will make you feel like a million bucks again. :)
I tried it on in both grey and pink. I loved the pink on me, it brought out the rosy tint (haha) to my cheeks and was very flattering to my skin tone... but, I ultimately went with the grey because I thought 1. its a little more sophisticated and 2. it will hide dirt better than the pink (I hear Beijing is sort of dirty, and I know its really polluted!)
Not the best pic, but you get the idea of me in the pink..
And in the grey I bought
Strike a pose! (where do I come up with these poses? lol!)
Again I am wearing my destroyed J. Crew skinnies, and also my new Daria sandals by Sam Edelman, available here at Lori's Shoes (code: TOUTIE for 20% off). (I originally thought these sandals might be way too much with all the rhinestones... but I love them. I think they are perfect in an edgy way to spice up an otherwise plain outfit!)
* BTW, I love Lori's Shoes. If you have never shopped there, you need to start! They have a great selection, awesome customer service & good store policies. Check them out! (Plus you can often find a coupon code!)
And I just love the zip-up back... its a really cute detail, and it makes these sandals so easy to put on!
Two things:
1. the outfit can definitely use some more accessories - maybe a couple bracelets - which are packed.
And 2. the shirt is super wrinkly from being packed in a suitcase! Its dry clean only - does anyone have any tips for getting out the wrinkles? I was thinking of hanging it up in the bathroom while I take a shower and letting the steam maybe work them out.

I really like that shirt! I am so bummed that my Anthro is 45 minutes away. Need to make a trip :-)
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS do the steam-out-a-shirt-while-taking-a-shower method! I don't even own an iron.
ReplyDeleteI love those sandals too. I would love a new pair for the summer, but I haven't started to look yet! I am going on vacation in a few weeks, and I would just like something by then.
Love the shirt and the WHOLE outfit :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!

ReplyDeletep.s. I have a double giveaway I think you might like! www.wild-and-precious.com
That's a gorgeous top... and I love it in grey! I totally agree with you about the polluted air in Beijing (I did a semester abroad there). I used to think LA air was bad but it's nothing compared to Beijing!
ReplyDeleteThe top is so lovely! Looks like it can be worn with anything and day OR night :D
