Also stopped by Marshalls last night--more cute stuff than I remember, although most of the quality was off-putting to my Anthro-accustomed eye. Tried on a great pair of Joe's dark wash jeans for $40, but they were a size 25/0 and I'm a size 26/2 even when I was 5 lbs. thinner.

I saw a few specific, direct Anthro knock-offs: River Bends Tunic (albeit in turquoise), Filtered Light Tunic, Orchard Grove Pullover. The filtered light one was pretty decent, given that sheer is sheer.

About

Seeing personal style through K's eyes.

I'll be chronicling my quest for personal style on a frugally-raised college student's budget. Fitting room reviews, style inspirations, musings/rants about dressing a petite, size-2 apple figure--just whatever is on my mind. I adore the Anthro aesthetic, but rarely pull it off in real life. Same goes for heels and make-up...
