Fall fashion is here, and one trend that makes a smooth seasonal transition is feminine, ladylike style. Anthropologie put together three outfits featuring this fabulous look: the wrap dress, a Peter Pan collar top and the laser-cut sheath dress. But what are fashionistas in the Southwest saying about these delicate, womanly ensembles, and how can you nab the look yourself? You will need:
WRAP DRESS
This slinky-soft jersey dress is an exclusive online fashion by Anthropologie plus the ultimate in throw-on-and-go loveliness. Dressed-so-lovely Natasha Tam says, “I couldn’t resist this dress. As a redhead, the colors were far too complementary to pass up. My figure is an extreme hourglass. I’d say this dress looks unbelievable, and I’ve never thought this before, but I must admit this wrap dress looks better on me than any model.”
LASER CUT SHEATH DRESS
San Francisco native Byron Lars earned instant praise and was lauded Women’s Wear Daily’s “Rookie of the Year” in 1991. Lars specializes in expertly structured, sensuously cut silhouettes. This dress from Beguile, his Anthropologie-exclusive line, is exactly that: a body-conscious silhouette complete with intricate, laser-precise lacework. Honestly, glam gal Linda Newton couldn’t have said it any better: “This dress is really a knockout. If you love Byron Lars like I do, then you’ll be so happy he has this out. If you’re an hourglass, this really shows off the figure.”
PETER PAN COLLAR TOP
A pretty Peter Pan collar top makes for classic, clean style and is easily wearable from summer to fall. Anthropologie has an open bloom top with a white lace Peter Pan collar. Style maven Rae May says, “When I received this Peter Pan collar top I felt so excited. Not only do I like the vintage appeal, but I love the really soft and lovely lace with an almost embroidered lacelike ivory collar.”
