Anthropologie updated their homepage and my interest was piqued by their suggestion to indulge in silk. I'm in! I covet many of the pieces they highlight. I've been ever less patiently waiting for the Afloat Blouse ($88) to go on sale; the Bungalow Gables Dress ($138) is just perfection in dress form; and the Confetti Whirl Dress ($168) looks like a fun frock! I tried on the Electric Age Halter Dress ($178) over the weekend and while the dress was lovely neither the 6 nor the 8 fit me correctly on top. Both bowed out strangely at my chest.But something must be wrong with me because my favorite item on the page is the Two Birds Romper ($128). Yep, that's right, a romper! The model shot is unconvincing on the product page but I feel like I could totally rock that thing. Maybe with my hair back, some high heels and a fringed-out hobo? What is going on with me? Whatever it is I think Shannon over at Wardrobe Review caught it too because she questions her love of the Aqua Surf Girl Gladiators ($168)...and I think those kinda rock too.
I think it is the rich jewel tone of the romper that draws me in. And it looks kind of swingy-fun to wear. So am I nuts? Or has Anthropologie correctly identified the trend that I already see around NYC? And what is with Anthro suddenly turning so trendy? Not sure I'm totally into this J.Crew-esque style left turn.

Ha, I've recently found myself contemplating buying a romper too, and I never thought that day would come. The Anthro one looks pretty cute -- I love the color, the way the neck is cut, and the buttons for some reason look super cute and fun.
My favorite on that page is the Hidden Cove dress -- super pretty IRL, I couldn't help but buy it.
I also love the romper.
Ree, ree, ree.
(That's my horror movie sound effect.)
wait till you try it on!
i was "if-y" about the romper too, until i tried it on. it is super fun and fits amazingly well.
New to your blog, it's great! I must agree with your concern of a turn towards trendy. I just visited the anthro site for the first time in several months and was kind of bored (gasp!). I feel like things are becoming kind of ubiquitously romantic. Where's the graphic drama? The Victorian fantasy? Am I imagining this?
