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.

Oh, super cute tops!!! There's nothing like shopping with another Anthro-lover. I'm so glad the two of you were able to meet and have some fun.
I was lusting after that sweater too, and finally pulled the trigger full price while I was in Annapolis. Only to miss the sale PA by 2 days once it hit sale. I even told the sales girl that it would go on sale next week, since I had finally caved. ;) I love it!
Jan... Ms. Teeny Tiny yourself plus, beautiful, tan and sculpted arms without even working out to boot! Sorry I went back to my hometown for Camilla's baptism and 1st birthday and I did not check the internet at all. I'm back home now and I must say, you look fab in the Pink Cottage Blouse! And also the Gleaming Shoals. I love the peachy color you paired it with! I have not worn either because I'm scared I may mess up the PCBlouse and it's too hot for the GS top. Did you pick yourself up anything from today's sale? I went to Anthro with my sister 3 times this weekend. We were nuts! I actually contemplated trying to get together with Debbie from Dark Horse and her new baby girl!
Thank you so much for agreeing to meet with me. It was so sweet of you, especially since you had just gone there and you are almost an hour away and you had all your kids! I had a great and fun time meeting you and your kids are adorable!!!
Ha, I just realized I said Gleaming Shoals not Shoals Gleaming. It was late and I just got back from a 7 hr drive. And I kind of don't pay attention to names of the clothes anymore. ;)
I actually bought that cottage blouse but returned it, now I'm wondering if I shoulda kept it since it's darling on you! Nice score on both tops!
OOh I have some of those tops...I just love them..Im glad to see im not the only one!!!

You were a brave soul indeed! Your meetup sounds fun. I laugh when I see kids out having fun. As long as they aren't tearing down the place, they're just being kids. I love the gleaming shoals. It's been great post-partum.
Jan, both of these outfits are great. I love, love both of your tops. Great jewelry and shoes, too. =)
