elornis shift dress

hi readers,

there has been a big change in the weather here.  it is HOT.  i came out of work the other day and the temperature on the bank sign was 102!!!!  and its humid too.  **ugh**  this weather certainly zaps all my energy but i did manage to get myself to anthro for the sale on tuesday.  did you ever notice when you want to buy something you will do whatever it takes to get it?  once i was so sick, i was starting to get the flu and i crawled to the phone to order from anthro.  haha 


anyway....what did i get????  well, i was mildly interested in the elornis shift dress when i first saw it in the catalog.  and even when i saw it in the store, i thought it was cute but never bothered to try it on.  but i kept an eye on it.  then i saw it went on sale, i figured i would atleast try it on.  i have to say i am very happy with it but i will add that i tried on three before i found one that i felt was sewn nicely and cut correctly.  also, i ditched the belt, which i felt really added nothing and made the dress shorter than i wanted. 


i added the cardi to wear in the air conditioning at work.

    I also found your blog through Effortless Anthropologie. I love this outfit. I didn't even realize the tessellate necklace came in this color - do you know if it's still available?

    I'm a new follower and would love to have you check out my blog too: http://apackageaday.blogspot.com

    hi cate,
    i am so happy to hear you are enjoying the blog. i was super happy to hear i gave your jcrew abstract leopard skirt another try. i really think the purple brought it to life. hope that works for you too.

    the tessallate in this color was only available in stores. i can tell you i saw it recently (like maybe 2 weeks ago) in a local store so im sure they can find one for you if your store doesnt have it.

    i will definately check out your blog! i laughed when i saw the name of it! that is exactly what goes on at this house too! and sometimes more than one. love it! would you be interested in a blogroll exchange?

    thanks again!

      cate,
      thank you so much! so excited to be on your blogroll. i also added your blog to my blogroll. it is great that you do so many reviews. i really enjoyed looking at all your fitting room reviews. also wanted to mention i bought the pencil skirt in dark pumpkin and loved how you paired it with the polka dot chambray. thanks for the idea!

      thanks again!!!

    Hi, I was wondering what size you got in this dress? A lot of reviews say size down and was wondering if you did? Thanks.

      hi claire,
      i did not size down. i went with my usual size medium. however, there is plenty of room in the body. my thing is that if i went for the next size down i think the width of the top might look too small (my shoulders are broad and look even broader if the top is too small). if you are petite or narrow on the top you probably could go down a size. another factor to consider is the length. i am somewhat tall and dont like it when a small gets shorter. i guess you should also take that into consideration. i hope that helps. and thanks for reading! :)
