Hello dear readers. You might have noticed that it's been a long time since I last posted. Sorry if I disappoint, but I just haven't been inspired lately. Please address all complaints (if there be such) to Anthropologie who let my inspiration run dry. As you can tell, this will be another whining post. Anothropologie and I were very happy together, but then everything changed.
I don't remember precisely at which point my thoughts on receiving a new catalog in the mail went from "What in this catalog can I possibly live without" to "let me see if there's anything wearable here". I suppose it must have happened gradually over the past two years. On one hand it's somewhat liberating not to have to worry about splurging on yet another sweater I can't afford. On the other hand I miss the flow of serotonin which resulted from buying an article of clothing that I knew I will love to wear for years to come.
So here's a little reminder of the Anthropologie I miss.
From
Gift 2005 catalog.
Hudson Coat
Sensu Cardigan
Peppermint dress
Velvet Jewelry Boxes
I remember seeing these in the store and I'm
still kicking myself for not bringing one home.
Evening Slumber Skirt (I want!)
Tulle Tuxedo Blouse
Abbey Jacket
Silk accordion skirt
Vanilla Field Coat
Beaded Collage Frames
Notice how original and luxurious the clothes appear. Also, everything seemed more figure flattering back then. I feel like an old timer who says in a screechy voice "I remember when a bottle of lemonade cost two cents". I'm not that old, I promise. Oh dear dear. How I do wish the Anthropologie of yesteryear would return.
