Cute Find From Anthropologie

I love Anthropologie and I don’t get to visit the store often enough as it is nowhere near where I work or live. So when I got a chance yesterday, I popped into a store to pet the pretty things. I could live there! And it doesn’t hurt that the store smells so good too.

They didn’t have the jumpers that were on my wishlist. But that didn’t stop me from trying on a few things. This black pendleton long turtleneck from Sparrow was a great find. It’s made of comfy cotton and cashmere knit. The ingenious part about it is that it has a t-shirt like cotton lining that makes it all the more comfortable. I’m usually uncomfortable in sweaters because they can get itchy (especially those made of wool) so the extra layer of thin cotton in this sweater just made me go “Ah! Bliss!!!”, when I tried it on. Best of all, I fit in a size XS. Hahaha! It’s been awhile since I could fit in that size.

The sweater is long enough for me to wear as a dress with tights and boots or platform shoes, or with skinny jeans and ballet flats. I could roll up the sleeves to show the heather grey jersey lining for a casual jaunt in the mall. I could add a patent belt for accent or wear with gold accessories for pizzazz. Great for lounging around or dressing up. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of mileage with this one!
