Is this worth the money?

lashbuna blouse  It is $78 from anthro.  I wouldn't think twice about the price if it were silk, but it is cotton.  Has anyone seen it IRL?


Also, I love this top bluebelle blouse.  Has anyone seen it IRL?

I've seen the first one in real life and it is NOT worth the money. It is PAPER thin, if that. I was really shocked when I saw it in person because it looks so nice in the catalog and online.

ETA: it's like muslin, but worse.

I agree with KMD.  I wasn't impressed.  If it were a different fabric I'd say yes because I love the shape and pattern, but I don't know, it just didn't strike me as being worth $78.

I agree. It looks a LOT cuter online. In person it looks like a shirt you could find at Forever21 for $15.

I agree re:  the black and white top w/ green.  I tried it on today.  The fabric is not only super thin, but it is kind of stiff and scratchy.  There's no way it can be worn without something underneath.  The cut is nice but, the fabric is not good enough for the price, especially if you'd have to buy something that would work under it.


Sorry, my Anthro didn't have the blue one.

The first top is definitely not worth the money.

I bought the second one, and it is beautiful IRL.
