future's so bright, I gotta wear shades

This past weekend I went to Anthropologie in order to take advantage of my 15% off birthday discount before May rolled in. I tried on quite a few lovely things, but had to resist hauling it all to the checkout.

You see, I too-recently splurged on some lovely shoes (which you'll see sooooon!) as a belated birthday gift to myself and could not have possibly afforded an Anthro splurge as well without resorting to selling a kidney or two. So, only two lovely things came home with me -- the top you're about to see and the Spring Shelter cardigan -- which, for the record, may just be the softest, most comfortablest (it's a word that now exists just to describe this item), oversized sweater in existence.

bright future top, anthropologie

cord skinnies, j.crew

sandals, target

necklace, aerie

ring, f21

leaf ring, from australia

bangle, kate spade

I sized up with this top because I wanted it to be ludicrously huge and billowy. It was already huge and billowy, mind you, but I wanted MOOOOORE.

It is incredibly comfortable, and sheer enough for any colored or patterned bra to shine through clearer than Las Vegas on a clear night. With a nude bra, though, you can't really tell that it's sheer, so I'd say it's safe to wear without a cami as long as you wear a bra that closely matches your skin tone.

I'm wearing it with just skinnies here, but it also looks great tucked into a maxi skirt (which I tried but decided that one maxi skirt ensemble this week is enough). I didn't try it with a pencil skirt yet, but I figure that there may be too much excess material, which we all know is a prime cause of the dreaded Butt Bumpies in form-fitted skirts.
