European Vacation Travel Outfit #2 More Maxi – Anthro You Had Me At Hello

July 28, 2014 by suzanne carillo

I really can't think of anything more comfortable than a maxi, be it a dress or a skirt.

They are like wearing a nightgown in public.

This is the second outfit with this maxi skirt that I'll be taking to Amsterdam with me. The first outfit is here.

I'm normally not one to wear so much black but it is convenient for travel.  

Plus it is oh so … European!

; )

I love how the necklace looks like the leopard is wearing a crown of jewels on his head.

Skirt – Le Chateau (old), T-shirt – H&M (old) , Sandals – So Soft via Marshalls, Necklace – Anthropologie (old)

I need to take photos of my other outfits I know I'm taking…a couple of them are recent purchases and are so freakin' fabulous!

I can't wait to wear them.

(Thanks husband!)

I'm trying to only buy thrift or consignment but that dang Anthro sale worked its devil magic on me yet again. 

Stupid store is like crack.

I can sometimes find vintage and thrift stores that I fall in love with…unique displays, wonderful one-of-a-kind inventory, brilliant salespeople, but at Anthro I get pumped just looking at the display windows. I study them like a student studies a text book. 

 I don't want to miss any detail. 

And in Anthro there are so, so many wonderful details.

I can feel my heart beat faster and the rational part of my brain regarding spending drips away like the edges of my ice cream in the summer heat. 

I'm sucked into the vortex of masterful marketing brilliance before I'm even 10 ft in the door. 

Do you have any stores that are you kryptonite?

…that had you at hello?
