Two Wheeler Shirtdress Review and OOTD

So many bloggers have already reviewed this dress. Golden Means, Love at First Shop, and Effortless Anthropologie, to name a few. I am late to the party because my Anthropologie is just far enough out of the way from where I live that once I get there I usually become overwhelmed and forgetful. Anyway, the consensus on the website seems to be that this dress runs large everywhere except for the arm holes. I totally agree. They were out of my usual size 8 so I grabbed the 10 without thinking. It was tight in the arm holes and big everywhere else.

I then had the sales associate grab the 6.

And I would have also tried the 4 but the arm holes were cutting off my circulation! I love this dress but I cannot buy something that I can only wear with the little sleeve keyholes unbuttoned. Maybe if it hits the sale... maybe if I decide to become an exercise addict and eventually whittle my way into Madonna arm territory. But as it stands, the Two-Wheeler dress from Anthropologie and I are just not meant to be.

I did meet the future manager of the Bakery Square Anthropologie. She said they are slated to open in late June and things seem to be on schedule. They might have a soft opening to which they will invite a few avid local customers! I doubt I am avid enough to be in that loop, but a gal can hope!

I wore:

Plaid flannel dress with pleated bodice from Urban Outfitters in New Orleans (similar here)
Cashmere ruffle cardigan by Twig (similar here)
Anthropologie Two Paths Trench (seen hanging behind me. This jacket yielded 5 compliments in the store from strangers who didn't realize where it was from)
Black reversible tight end tights by Spanx
Crackled silver flats by Chloe (similar here)

Shoe detail shot above. A few more reviews tomorrow.
