Anthro's Striped Intersection tee

Yesterday I went over to my local Anthropologie to exchange a blouse and cardigan my husband picked out for me. He saw the combo on a mannequin and thought it looked cute. God bless him, but the mannequins wear a size 4 and a small bralet. I know because I used to dress them when I worked there. I wear a size 0 there and my rack cannot fit into one of their bralets. So the top was a little big in the shoulders and the button down cardigan was way too tight in the bust. But he tried.

Now, my favoritest of favorite things I purchased is this top, the "Striped Intersection" tee:


I don't care who you are. This top will give you the illusion of a tiny waist and sexy cleavage. It also looks really cute tucked into a tulip skirt!

I bought another top that was one of their newer arrivals, but it's not on the website yet. It had an interlocking cumberbun of sorts and also makes the chest look great.

That's the ONE good side effect of all of the pills I'm taking-- my bust right now is a very full DD. Instead of worrying about stretching sweaters out, I'm embracing my inner Dolly Parton and having fun with it.

I also scored a fab deal on a tulip skirt. Yesterday was the last day, but all sale merchandise at Anthropologie was an additional 50% off. I ended up getting a great dark wool skirt for only $15!

Did anyone else find something fabulous during their sale?

Hey, I want to purchase this top but I only can order it on the website (because I'm french)
So should I take this top a size down my usual size or not ?
Usually I buy S.
(I'm thin and have a little breast)
Thank you :)

Lucie, I would order your normal size since it is made entirely of stretch material. The XS will fit but it will also show everything, if you know what I mean.

By the way, I would love for you to email me the latest trends in France, s'il vous plait!

Thank you so much for your advice :)
I didn't find your mail in your blog so I post a comment ^^
My mail is lucie.bedu1@gmail.com
I'd be glad to talk about trends in France especially in Paris because I live there (but I don't know if it's so different from fashion in USA !)
