Shouts out to Gemma!!!

I was so excited when Gemma, reached out to me a few weeks ago to say that she would be vacationing in my area and wanted to meet up at Anthropologie.  Gemma is an incredibly sweet commenter who also added a darling baby girl to her family just a couple of months before we welcomed Campbell into ours. As a testimony to how much I really, really wanted to meet up with her I actually braved the brick and mortar with all four of my offspring.  Between us, we had five boys throwing pennies into the fountain... mine were the ones fishing theirs back out so they could toss them multiple times.  As you can imagine it was a bit hectic to actually do much chatting or hard core shopping, but I had a great time and I'm so glad I was able to meet Gemma - she is the teeny-tiniest and completely gorgeous.  Plus, she TOTALLY MADE MY DAY when she found the BEST ANTHRO SCORE OF ALL TIME and plucked a Pink Cottage Blouse in my size from the sale rack and handed it to me (she already owns this beauty) - I had to hug her on the spot!


As we gave a final once over to the sale section Gemma commented on having recently acquired the Shoaling Gleam Pullover. I have to confess this was a piece I had never noticed on the website and it looked rather boxy and shapeless hanging on the rack.  However, when it popped back online during the extra 25% off promo, I decided that such a cute, petite girl as Gemma wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't fabulous. I threw it into my cart to try out.  And what do you know, it's a total win - I call it a sleeper-keeper ;) Super comfy & easy with great colors to play with - the fish are way adorable once you have it on.
