My First Anthropologie Dress

I'm realizing that I haven't written a blog in quite some time. Originally I was just busy, and then life made another dramatic change. I don't exactly feel like posting into a blog just yet...but to be clear: I didn't elope, I'm not pregnant, and nobody I love has a terminal illness...to my knowledge, anyway. What I can post about is my first anthro dress: The Madison Jumper by Meadow Rue. (FRONT)

I have admired Anthropologie dresses for years, but just don't live close enough to a retail store to try them on. And I've heard that the fit of dresses there is notoriously unpredictable. For instance, I purchased this dress in a size 10, but would've opted for an 8 if one was available (it was a mega-sale; $40 down from $140). As a result of slacking off from yoga, I should not be in either of these sizes! As it is, the dress is loose but not terribly so. The A-line is flattering for a lady like me. By this I mean: long torso, lean upper body, and full hips/thighs. It's everything from childhood that I love: an innocent jumper that's easy to move in, with large pockets for storing summer movie stubs and dandelions. But Anthropologie has outdone themselves and sexed it up a little bit with cleverly placed cut-outs (a t-shirt underneath is necessary, of course).

Even my fiance loved it. It looks good from every angle, and I can't wait to wear it to a spring or summer art festival.
