I found a couple of good end-of-summer-sale tops in-store at Anthro a few weeks ago, and have worn each one once so far. Neither were petite sized so some alterations were in order. I tried smaller sizes in each but they were too tight. I do know that Anthro carries petites sizes, but never in the stores near me. The beige one did come in petites but completely sold out. The blue one never came in petite sizes.

Blue ombre shirt, with white jeans and white sandals. Threw in my very old lapis necklace that DH gave me eons ago. Entertaining at home so
no bag (aka poggabook). This top is a little long in front so I may shorten (just the front) it as I so often do with non-petite shirts/blouses. And, the shoulders/neckline are a little loose but I like the look.

“Beige” lace top (kind of a warm peachy/buttery beige), brown cargos, brown sandals. The pants started out with gathered slightly cropped hems which is a length/shape I don't like (yet I bought them) so I opened up the placket and let them down. I altered the top by taking in the shoulder seams and side/underarm seams to give a better fit. Got out a bag I haven’t used since pre-Covid.

I really like both of these! I can see wearing the blue one with blue jeans and the beige one with various jackets/bottoms as we move into cooler temps.

Comments and suggestions welcome as always!

p.s. I like these a lot better than the 2 Anthro tops I was considering in late spring ...https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....ich-colors the fabric was so thin that it was always going to look rumpled so I returned them. .
