Million Little Pieces




In this look:
*Anna Sui for anthropologie Tesserae Dress 
*anthropologie Boundless Blazer
*BCBG Gold Sandals (see a similar pair here)

Here are two items that were recently marked down at anthropologie. I had never noticed the Tesserae dress before, but I loved it in person at the store. The colors in it are rich and I think the mosaic pattern is gorgeous. The embellishment along the neckline is intricate and interesting to look at. The best part of the dress is that it is lightweight enough to wear by itself in the summer but also looks good layered with black tights and a topper such as this Boundless Blazer. The skirt is pretty full but I think once belted it will look a bit better. The dress is online for $119.95 but I got it in store for $59.95! (ETA: I saw that the price was updated online!)

I'm still undecided on the blazer. I love the color, and I don't have a blazer in this color, but the strong shoulders and the are throwing me off. I'm not sure this is the perfect topper for this dress, but I kind of bought them together with this outfit in mind. I think with tights, different shoes, and some jewelry, I could make this work.

Happy Friday everyone!

    Cute! That dress is so fantastic on you-and I actually really like it with the blazer. I was thinking about that blazer...what size did you take in it?

    Oh gosh, that dress is gorgeous! The pattern and colors are beautiful! I think it actually works quite well with the blazer. You can try leaving the blazer open and pairing the dress with a wide brown belt for a more summer-y/spring-y look!

    I think that the blazer and dress look terrific together! I tried on that blazer last month and it didn't work for me, but I may have tried on the wrong size. What size did u get? Did you size up?

    I've seen that blazer online but due to mixed reviews about sizing I was too afraid to order. Did you size up? And the dress looks gorgeous on you...

    I had this blazer on my wishlist but like others, was deterred by the sizing and negative reviews - I think it looks great on you and it is definitely a keeper! :)

    I love how you've styled that dress (which I've been eying and now that it is on super sale I might have to bite!).
