size 16 girl tries ANTHROPOLOGIE for the first time (is it worth it?)

i've seen a lot of buzz around anthropologie lately, especially from plus size creators i follow online. they were actually on my list of stores to visit for fitting room try-on videos in early 2020...but we know what happened there. 😂 so i ordered a few pieces in a size XL / size 16, and we're gonna try them on together! i literally can NOT get over these prices...so i'll let you know if i think they're worth it or not! hope you enjoy this fun little try on haul that MAY have been a little hit & miss. xoxoxo

I’m a firm believer in never buying anything full price so hearing the deals you got is bringing me so much joy lol also the raspberry top reminds me of something Alexa would wear!

I worked at anthro 2 years ago and personally I think the quality is worth the price but it's marketed towards a slightly more mature demographic I would say like 30s-40s that can afford to spend that money. The clothes are nice, I like that they have a range of styles but let's be real the REAL hit us the homeware section 😍

Idk about irl, but my screen the raspberry top is EVERYTHING on you. The shoulders are super in style and I can see how you can combine it with combat boots to contrast the structured and “power lady” feel of the top.

I’ve always thought anthropologie targeted an older age group than millennials and that their clothes show this, but that raspberry top is INCREDIBLE on you!!

[trinabarrett]

I personally thought everything was super cute!! That red blouse was STUNNING on you!! Absolutely gorgeous!!

I have found that as a straight size Anthropologie really engages in vanity sizing, at least with tops and sweaters. In many other brands I wear a medium in tops, or occasionally a large, but in Anthropologie I often need a small or extra small. This is true for me with *most* of their styles. FYI for anyone out there who's interested in the brand.

My size 0 sister loves Anthropologie, and I was very nervous about anything fitting my size 16 body when she wanted us to get bridesmaid dresses for her wedding there. I was very pleasantly surprised - not only did the dress fit so well that I didn't need any tailoring beyond having it hemmed, but it was flattering and comfortable, as well. But oof, the prices, for sure.

For the pink crushed velvet dress you could get the tiers lifted by a seamstress !! To make it like a foot shorter :)

Side note: I love the orange/animal top you're wearing!! So adorable.

When I was in my early 20’s I loved Anthropologie. I always shopped in the clearance section and found a beautiful sleeveless cotton blouse for all seasons for like $17 and have found beautiful dresses. But I never would pay full price and they were unique pieces like a work of art which is what I appreciate about Anthropologie style ethic. If it looks basic then no I wouldn’t bother lol and the home decor is to die for. Always shop clearance and sign up for Anthro Perks. Now I’m 27 and married and hardly shop their anymore but I still love to browse. I used to be a size 10/12 too but now I’m a 16 😬 so I doubt I’ll find my size in stores lol

When I used to shop at Antho this is exactly how I felt. Either a FULL on WIN or a full NO. But the pieces really do last if you wash them properly!

My wedding dress was from BHLDN which is Anthropologies bridal line, and for it being Anthropologie it’s surprisingly affordable and i will love my wedding dress until the day.i.die.

I’ve been an anthro shopper for 20+ years (I am old) and it is ALWAYS hit or miss. Either love everything or hate it. Always been that way.

[karenprinz]

You and Rosey always coming in with the cutest stuff!!

I just tried some athleta plus recently. Both their active wear and regular pants. Pleasantly surprised! Would love to see you try pieces from them.

I’ve been wearing Anthro for… 15 years and I still have a few tops from a decade ago. They are true/big to size and fabulous quality. They have been my go to for work dresses for more than a decade

[lydiaisamazing]

Anthropologie usually does sales on weekends! I check their site on Thursday or Friday morning to see if pieces I’ve been eyeing go on sale (or better yet the sale on sales) because I can’t bring myself to pay full price. But I always get compliments on my anthro pieces! And they stick around in my wardrobe.

Get the blazer tailored to how you'd like it to fit like as that set is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 on you!

I'm obsessed with Anthropologie homeware but rarely buy full price. Too expensive! Their sales are awesome though 👌

[sunsetssandlands]

Please do an Aéropostale haul...they're super cute, affordable and have extended sizes

[mccallkt]

For the checker set, for how much you love it, and how great you look, bring the blazer to a tailor! Totally worth it to make it totally yours.

[molkatmil]

you should do a wedding guest dress/outfit try on video! i have some coming up in the spring/summer and am struggling to find stuff.
