Anthro stuff opinions

sfcaligirl · Dooney & Bourke

i feel your pain! i love anthro, but i'm too broke to buy very much from there- i need to be very selective when i shop there.

i'm not that crazy about the bag. i'd cut that first. the pants aren't as "special" as the shirt and shoes (LOVE those shoes!), but they seem very comfy/versatile/work-appropriate. you could also dress them down. if you need a good pair of pants, get those and the shoes. if not, get the top and the shoes. good luck deciding!

I would definitely go for the pants. They look very versatile. The shoes look like they might get dirty easily. I bought cream suede shoes once and it was a nightmare unless you are super careful. I am kind of over butterflies so I would go with the bag.

sfclinevandy · Coach

I say get the top and the shoes. The pants are cute, but the most basic of everything you posted. The bags alright, but I think the top and shoes are the most cute.

Rica · Kenneth Cole

The shoes are fabulous, the most "special" item I think. Definitely get them. The pants are kind of basic, but the top and the bag are pretty unique, especially the bag. So hmm, I vote shoes (!!!) and bag and squeeze in the top next pay check. Ha!

Farrah · Marc Jacobs

If you are only looking for special I would go with the shoes and the top.

If you are looking for versatile as well as special I would say the top and the pants.

The shoes are very special, but honestly, how often would you wear them?

Alegria · Kate Spade

I'm only voting for shoes (if you can keep them clean, I couldn't). The top and purse aren't really rocking my boat. I think you could find something similiar for less. Call me weird but I think the pants would be a close second. I like well made pants that have something on them to make them a bit different.

luckylily · Gucci

I love the pants! I know they seem simple, but good pants are hard to find and I think the detail on the front makes them unique yet still versatile.

I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the stuff you posted, but I'll say get the bag as my second item.

Hedvig · Coach

I think the bag and the shoes are the most unique - and very cute to boot!

Frankly, I wouldn't pay $68 for a jersey top unless it was way more spectacular than this one. Not that it isn't pretty, I just don't think it's worth the price.

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I'm loving the bag and the shirt

Bastet · Kate Spade

I love those pants! I was thinking about getting them, too! They look like they can go with a lot of different types of tops, I think you'd get a lot of use out of them. The shoes are cute, but if you're on a budget you might want to save your $$ for something you could wear more. I think the bag is really cute. So, I vote for the pants and the bag.

I say the pants. My sister has them in brown- they are Sanctuary brand and fit her really well. They stretch out though- she has a small and a medium now, so I"m gonna list the mediums for her on eBay. So order them a little snug. The shoes are hit and miss at anthro. I'm not sure how much those are- but I've seen $300 shoes from there that look like $30 shoes in person. Maybe call them to find out what brand they are? I am not crazy about the bag or top- I think there are other cuter ones at Anthropologie. Of course, if you need bags and tops, I would go with those.

Lilykind · Hermes

I own those pants in army green. They are a bit more casual than they seem because they have flap pockets in the back. According to the Anthro SA who saw me try them on, they fit most people weird, but if you've got a butt and hips, they will fit you amazing. I got loads of compliments when I wore them this weekend around Beverly Hills. They are going to be my go-to pants for the next few summers. So if you're curvy, I would definitely recommend them.

I love the top. I like the bag. The shoes are super-impractical IMO.

So my opinion is

If the pants fit well, then the pants and top. If they don't then the top and bag.

bean · Kenneth Cole

I love love love the pants and shoes. My heart skipped when I saw them.

gruiz · Kenneth Cole

#1: Shoes. They are so beautiful.
#2: Pants. You'd probably get more use out of them than the top (which is very memorable).

Kel · Coach

I am with everyone else on this one, i love the shoes. The second thing would be the pants.

hotcocoa · Kate Spade

my vote goes to the shoes and the pants.

jestillman · Kenneth Cole

shoes and pants! wear them together or alone... bag isn't as versatile as the other things....

poptart · Coach

Thank you everyone! You've helped my budget immensely!

Based on Lilykind's post, I think I'm going to skip the pants. I have a big tummy, but not much in the way of hips and thighs, and my anthro isn't carrying these, so I can't try them on.

I'm gonna skip the shoes (truly impractical, as many have said.)

Bag got too-mixed reviews, considering its price.

Shirt. I'll buy the shirt.
