Patterns...

I wore this Anthropologie Dress to a retirement party last night.  It's not often that I get to a)shop at Anthropologie (I had a very generous gift card ; )  or b) dress up. This dress stopped me in my tracks when I entered the store last week, and even though I tried several others on, I knew I'd go home with this beauty. It had my name written all over it.

As soon as I put it on I couldn't help but see the patterns in my taste.

Wouldn't this look great with my new curtains?


If I didn't love it so much as a dress, I'd turn it into a pillow.  Guess I'll be hunting for some new fabric.


Any suggestions?

  1. new reader here...and I love that dress! I was at Antho last weekend and didn't see it. It's not often that I dress up either so I love it when I do! Great dress find.

  2. That dress is amazing!!! I love the unique styles and patterns that Anthro has, just wish the price tags were a little lower.

    And your new curtains are stunning, too.

    Thank you too, Kathleen. I am totally with you. I love Anthropologie's styles, but without my gift card it would never have been an option.

    And thanks for the curtain love ; )

  6. Hi Erin, I'm a new follower and friend from BlogFrog. I love that dress and how it compliments your curtains :) Your attraction to patterns remind me of a show I watch on HGTV called "Sarah's Summer House". Have you seen it? She uses tons of patterns in one room and makes it look so put together. Worth a watch if you find the time.

    Hope that you had a good time that evening :)

  9. HI Erin-

    I think it is fun to see your style in the way you have shown us here. You know what you like - that is a good thing. The dress would be a great home dec fabric - pillows would look fabulous.

    My best- Diane
