I sent the photo to Marianne because I was starting to get snow-blind and needed a rational voice.
A: Tell me I don’t need this over-priced Anthro dress
M: Like. No
A: Thank you
A: It’s cuter irl but too expensive
A: I got two parties and nothing to wear
M: Hard pass
M: Like that dress is angering me
A: Haaa
M: I’m mad at it
A: That pic is making me mad now
M: It’s so so bad
M: You do not look like that
A: I love you
M: I’m serious! That dress is WRONG
A: I also tried on this top and it was cute but requires underpinnings:
M: That top would be pretty for a party with some black velvet pants (Target has some surprisingly decent ones RN)
A: I’m still cracking up at your reaction to that dress on me
M: Shew
M: I hate that dress
A: It seemed so cute on the hanger
M: Rude
A: I need to learn to not try on stuff like that

Ugh, why can't this be easy? It's just not. While I was at Anthro I also tried on this top which surprised me:
With my coated black jeans, a fun necklace and a pair of heeled boots? It's shiny and a little rock 'n roll and looked great with my coloring. I think it's really fun but it's more than I would normally spend on such things, you know? I also thought this top was pretty but it had too much sleeve going on for me. There was also a gorgeous skirt (sold out online) that I loved on the hanger but the pleats did weird things in the back. You know what I really liked? This damn simple top:
They gave it to me to try on with the fancy skirt and it was so nice! Just a very simple cotton top with a flattering neckline. I probably should've just bought the damn thing. Anthro clothing is always a bit of a challenge for me and I guess every now and then I need a reminder.
