I had a little bit of time after work today so I popped over to Anthropologie and tried out a few things that had looked interesting online. As is usually the case when I shop there, the stuff that looked really cute online I wasn't too sure looked good on me when I actually tried it on. So I didn't walk out with anything, but what do you think? Anything worth going back for (or ordering online)? And I also ran in and tried some of the famous pencil skirts at Nordstrom to get an idea of the sizing. What do you think, do I look good in pencil skirts at all, or does it accentuate my tummy too much? The six felt slightly big, the 4 felt OK, but the size 2 was brutal for clinging to and showcasing my tummy bulge!

1. Winter Tree shirtdress. Size 8 was the smallest they had so I think it might be a little big for me...I'd want to try a size 6 or maybe even size 4. A little thin...it's an unlined dress but nice pattern. Not sure if it's too dark for me? I liked the Japanese-ish print though.
2. Ihrin shirtdress in green. Size 6. This looked great on the website, but in person I thought it made me look kind of fat, and the green was brighter than I thought (I had thought it would be more olive), and it felt a tiny bit short. Also it has this annoying side zipper that only goes halfway up and then you have to do all these little snaps from the waist to the armpit. Awkward. IDK, what do you think? I bought a different shirtdress from H&M (I'll post in another thread) and I'm thinking of sticking with that one instead.
3. Ihrin shirtdress in purple. Size 4. I know this is too small but I was too lazy to go back out and grab the bigger size.
4. Lemon Liftoff blouse size 6. It has a cute owl print. The bottom part felt good (not too tight) but the arms felt a bit puffy and big. Also not sure if it's too whimsical to wear to work with the owls. The white skinny jeans were on sale, but too tight so I couldn't get them.
5. Lemon Liftoff blouse size 4. Fits better in the sleeves but I'm concerned it's too tight/fitted at the tummy?
6-7. Zenobia tee in Wine size S. Nice top, I was going to get it, but then I looked at the tag--$68 for a T shirt??? Hmm...I thought I'd better get your opinions first.
8. Dots Within green blouse. Size 6. I could probably go down a size.
9. Drape & Twist Tee size S. Just picked this up randomly on the way to the dressing room. Not sure if it's a flattering style for me.
10-11. Halogen seamed pencil skirt in tangerine, size 4. This felt like a better fit than the 6 but showed off my belly bulge more.
12-13. Halogen seamed pencil skirt in yellow, size 6.
