Anthro Review: Goldfish Bowl Skirt

I tried a few items when I visited Chicago.   It has been oh, a month? Unfortunately my phone is often at a out of battery state, so those are the two items I manage to snap a picture with before the battery ran out.  The timing of my visit is also a bit off too.   Anthro is full of boring stuff at the time, not many exiting item in the store anyway.


Goldfish Bowl Skirt

This little skirt attracted my eyes with the little fish print.  I thought that was pretty cute and fun.  The color is beautiful.  The golden color seem to be what I am drawn to these days.  It reminds me of a chinese fairy tale.  In the story,  a magic baby jumping out of a  fish bowl and fishes out whatever treasure he wish for. Of course there is always evil greedy landlord try to take away the fishbowl and was punished at the end.

First thing about the fit, size up.  I have to go up to a size 6 although I could possibly squeeze into a 4, but I don't like wear anything high waist.  Length wise, it hits on my knee. Fabric is silk outside with lightweight cotton lining.   I somehow like a bit of weight on a skirt, but that is just personal preference, so this skirt is too lightweight for me.  It would make a good summer skirt however.    Judging from the material, it might wrinkle quite a bit at the end of the day.   There are two pockets, but I don't see myself putting anything in there with such light weight fabric. Here is another shot with the cardigan. Love this cardigan, was going to review it but then it is completely sold out so there is not much point reviewing it any more.

Sunrise Shirt Dress-$168
This dress looks very beautiful and delicate on hanger.  It also came with the attached slip which is a nice detail to have.  However I felt like a  Little Bo Peep in it.  I even try a belt with it, and still no good. The fitting is fine.  A size 2 fits snuggly but not too tight.  However, it makes me look at least 10lb more.  It is another one of those beautiful as it is, but not flattering item anthro often has.   For someone needed that extra 10lb, it might work out well.

So here you have it, two not so exiting review.
