loving... anthro's tropicalia dress

Anthro Tropicalia Maxi Dress


Edmonton's in the midst of a bitter cold snap and with spring still months away, dreaming of wearing this gorgeous dress is my only salvation from the winter doldrums.

This maxi is officially my first purchase of 2013. My second? These fun printed oxfords. Can you tell I’m tired of being wrapped up in thick winter clothes?

What about you? Have you bought anything from the spring collections yet? It’s hard not to, isn't it -especially with temptation lurking everywhere you turn – even at the dang supermarket. I’m looking at you Joe Fresh floral printed jeans.

Hope you're having a fantastic week and keeping warm.

  2. that dress is stunning! I'm so in love with maxi dresses; especially ones you can dress down with a jean jacket... maybe that's why Khloe is my favourite Kardashian - that girl knows how to rock the maxi and denim jacket pairing. Too bad Anthro wasn't a bit more in my price range (read CHEAP). xo

    1. I'm usually a fan of that price range too Sara, but after staring at this dress, for what feels like a gazillion years, I took the plunge and finally hit the checkout button. Sure hope it fits (;

      p.s. I really dig the maxi/jean jacket look, too. Team Khloe, all the way!

    1. I'm sure hoping it can be "casualized." Fingers crossed. (:

      This time of year is tough for us northern dwellers. We're still knee high in snow, but all of the spring fashions are in stores calling our names. Dangnabbit!!

    1. I feel the exact same way, Belle! Somewhere warm, please!! I'm so over winter. Ugh.

      p.s. Thanks for the sweet compliment about the jeans. (:

  10. Love it!!! I can't wear a maxi dress because I"m short and it makes me look like I'm wearing a tent. I did just buy an orange spring jacket from Joe Fresh. I wore it this weekend and I felt like spring had arrived...yay!!

    1. You CAN wear maxi dresses, Carol!! You just need to find the right cut (closer to the body, solid colours & empire waists). Avoid big prints, add a skinny belt, wear open-toe shoes and you'll be rockin' a maxi in no time (: I wish we lived closer to each other 'cause we'd be going maxi dress shopping this weekend!

      p.s. I know exactly which Joe Fresh jacket you're talking about. It's fun and fresh! Work it, girl.
