so i popped into anthropologie, curious to see if the
mariposa tank by girls from savoy had landed. i am not really a
butterfly girl, but i loved the colors and style of the top. it pretty much inspired all my current loves:
gosh. i am having a big moment for lavender and yellow with pops of pink and green. i just can't get enough! i think my new
conure rug must be on my brain. i keep thinking of how it will work in my living room and now i am loving anything that has conjures up the same feeling for me. has that ever happened to you? crazy interior decorating messing with my wardrobe!
anyway, the mariposa tank was waiting for me and here is the review (i apologize the pictures are not good. it's that dang lighting in the newer anthropologie near my home that doesn't work well with camera phones. the anthro is closer to my home and has more convenient hours, but i hate going there for fitting reviews!)
knowing the top was girls from savoy, which tends to run large, i grabbed a 6 and an 8. wowza.
this top runs small. the 8 zipped up but was too tight for my liking (not really fitted cute, but fitted uncomfortable) so i had to go to a 10! that is the photo above.
in the 10, i loved the fit and the colors were perfect. only cons with the top are the straps are SO long. the straps were on the smaller of two button holes and it still needed to go up by about 1-2 inches (again, photo shows the straps sort of bagging at my shoulder). this is an easy fix, so i'm not concerned. at $78 it's perfectly priced. loved it and can't wait to wear it!
speaking of wearing, here are some options to how i would wear it:
first, for work i played down the whimsy by adding grey - but then kicked it back up with some fun shoes:
the second option works with the colors in the top and takes no mercy:
i am in love with those shoes. too bad they are too spendy :(
the third option plays with print and pattern, the brown stripe just works with that butterfly print:
and lastly, a more casual look. i think it could pair well with my en route blazer and orange driving mocs:
hope you get to enjoy the nice weather before it swings back to rain!
until next time,
S
