Due to the fact that J.Crew finally had a rollout that didn't leave me aching for a much higher income (thank God), I decided to spend my morning watching Love Happens (blah) and online shopping while CAhusband hit the golf course.
Of course during January, my birthday month, when I could get 15% off at Anthro I couldn't find a single thing that I thought made the 1.5 hour drive to the nearest store worth it. Of course, one month later, my shopping cart is totaling at near $1000.00 and I want lots and lots of cute new clothes. GREAT!
Here are the items I wish I was buying:
I think this would look adorable with my ivory linen pants, and could double as a cute teacher outfit with an ivory cardi on top!
Now, when I first saw this dress I wasn't too impressed, but I'm in love with the fabric up close. Now obviously at nearly $200.00, I won't be bringing this baby home unless it goes on sale, but there's something about the silhouette and turquoise chevron pattern that has me thinking this dress would be great for spring. Also, if it wasn't too short I could wear it to school!
Again, not quite love at first sight, and without the adorable catalog image I never would have given this another look, but there's something about the turqoise paired with the yellow skirt that I love! This whole outfit would be perfect for the Margarittaville event I have with the teachers and parents at my new school next weekend! It would also look cute with my linen pants!
I've been in love with this dress since I first saw it. Stripes are always right up my alley, especially when it's grey and white; but the reviews don't rave about the fit of this dress. With the red buttons on back, I think it would look really cute if topped off with a red belt!
My SIL, Virginia Belle, had this super cute tank in yellow on her recent wishlist, and I thought it was just too cute for words! I really love it in this blue color, and think it would be great with shorts for the super hot summer that's just around the corner!
This super cute casual tank would look great with white jeans or denim shorts! I love the ruffled straps, and again, the grey and white stripe! The back is slightly racerbacked too, which I always like!
I LOVE this perfect little spring-time blouse! The colors and print are too cute for words. It would look soooo cute with my linen ivory pants (have you noticed a theme here?), and would be great for a bridal shower or work! Now obviously, this little baby is just for looking, because I'm not dropping $200 for a blouse anytime soon; but I will snatch this up in a hurry if it goes on sale for like 60% off (in my dreams) anytime in the near future!
Luckily, when we're in Vegas in 2 weeks I'll be able to hit up the Anthro there to try some of the items in person. Good news (well maybe bad news) is we're getting an Anthro here next fall! Maybe I can work there 4 hours a week for the discount too? Then I'd be set!

I love the Paisley swoop tank! And I'll be in Vegas in a month too. So excited!
don't know what size you wear, but saw the striped dress on ebay for $49.99, may be other sizes too?!

That place is so dangerous! I've always been a devout JCrew-a-holic too but this year I'm loving the anthro. Happy Shopping!
did you get your j.crew lilac shift dress? what do you think?
I tried on the slate stripes dress and it was not the most flattering on me. It may work better for you though? The Paisley tank fits really well and I may have to make another trip to get it. Love the last blouse! It will be perfect for Spring in CA. I miss my favorite Anthro shopping buddy. We may have to make a trip when we visit next Fall!
How about when I get my birthday discount in the mail I send it your way?? I'd be happy to!
