I am prepping my closet for winter...here's what I got today from Anthro. Sadly, I'll have to wait several weeks for the t-shirt and belt, but I'm hoping the jacket will arrive soon! It's perfect for San Francisco fall/winter.

Short & Sweet Jacket in gold. Bummed that they're sold out in the green.

Wind-rippled tee in grey.

Tea Rose Belt in black.

ooh! love the tea rose belt, I got it during the summer in white, so versatile!

Nieners · Nov 10th, 2009, 02:57 AM

Ladies, can you help me out? They don't sell Anthropologie in The Netherlands, so I have to get it off of Ebay. I found this dress that I love.. but not sure what size to take? In the reviews they say it runs smaller so best to size up 1 sz, but I'm still not sure.

I'm an EU36/38 en have a small cupsize. Should I go for a 10 or 12?

Swanky Mama Of Three · Nov 10th, 2009, 08:02 AM

ahhh, I am not familiar enough w/ the sizing where you are, hopefully someone can help soon!
A US 10/12 would be an XL here. . . does that help?

natmk28 · Nov 10th, 2009, 08:29 AM

nieners- I think an eu 36/38 a 6-8 here?to be sure you should measure your waist around the narrowest point and your hips around the widest (convert to inches) and check the size chart based on that, but I think 36/38 eu is approx 6/8 in the US, but it could be smaller bc of all the vanity sizing.

kristy- I love love love that jacket- I just got it in green in Philadelphia this weekend, if you really had your heart set on green you should try calling customer service- when I went there were at least 10 jackets out in green, various sizes.

Nieners · Nov 10th, 2009, 08:55 AM

Swanky, that does help... because it will be too big :P EU36/38 = S - M
so that means I need a 4/6/8? Gosh.. sizing is so hard!
Thank you Nat, going to try that! Hope I'll get it right in inches

KristyDarling · Nov 10th, 2009, 09:16 AM

Natmk -- that's a great idea! I think I might just do that. What do you think of the green as compared to the gold? I haven't seen either in person myself.

natmk28 · Nov 10th, 2009, 09:32 AM

Kristy- I preferred the green, but mostly because it just goes better with my olivey skin tone, they were both nice- I'd go with whichever you think will match more of what you already have.

I need help - can't figure out if I like the Gumshoe sweatercoat in ivory or purple ;\
I have tanned skin, black hair. I have the ivory but am afraid to wear it b/c it might get stained lol! and the purple is so vibrant, but is it too barney?

Swanky Mama Of Three · Nov 10th, 2009, 08:48 PM

I bought this today:
http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/...bStyle=Reviews

LOVE it BUT . . .
I wore it tonight for maybe 2 hours over black Joes Jeggings and w/ a ruffled black tank under it and it pilled so bad already

Anyone have this issue w/ a sweater and it improved? I hate to take it back, it's SO cute on.

Ugh, sorry to hear that! It is REALLY cute! Tough decision....but if it were mine, I'd sadly take it back.

Swanky Mama Of Three · Nov 10th, 2009, 09:29 PM

I'm SO sad! The reviews say the damn thing sheds and pills

I would take it back and get something else. It is cute but you probably wont get much wear out of it since its already pilling.

I did see that cardi (previous page or so) you liked at NP tonight.

TxGlam · Nov 10th, 2009, 11:43 PM

I didn't buy a thing at Anthro tonight which is very surprising but I didnt very many new things and sale was very picked over. I did return this top because it was showing way too much boob and just didn't flatter my shape at all. It runs a little big IMO.
