“Fall” in love with Anthropologie’s fall collection

Anthropologie put on a fabulous fashion show Oct. 4, to showcase what is in store for the chillier months and to celebrate the fall season’s much-awaited arrival.

Not only did they present fabulous tops and jeans, but also mustard colored dresses, crystal hair pins and accessories galore. The show was incredibly put-together and somehow managed to make you feel good inside. Maybe it was the smiling models, maybe it was the mini cupcakes; the exact reason isn’t set in stone.

The show started off with a heavily embroidered, mustard yellow dress. The dress was accessorized to perfection with an emerald green statement necklace, dark gray tights and suede booties. This was a terrific transitional outfit between summer and fall. The dress could be worn during the hotter months with leather flip-flops and during the chillier months with a leather jacket. Whether the Anthropologie team took this aspect of the outfit into consideration or not, it certainly got everyone in the audience talking.

Along with the simple mustard dress, Anthropologie also presented a peplum and deeper hued three-quarter sleeved dress. This seemed to be a large hit with the crowd of fashion socialites, bloggers and press because camera flashes started going off all at once. Although both dresses were the same color, they were incredibly different. The effort put into these two styles was sheer, quirky genius.

At first glance, one may not have noticed the vast array of crystal embellished accessories that consistently appeared on every model. Adding extras to an outfit can transform any look, and this was no exception. Large crystal hair clips were used to keep the model’s top buns intact, while tiny waist chains with gemstone adornments added pops of sparkle to otherwise demure skirts. On the fall couture runways, this was a standout trend. Now it is easily obtainable in real life thanks to Anthropologie.

Overall, the Anthropologie store will be full of playful pieces that can be mixed and matched for as long as the heart desires. Along with the elegant dresses and embellishments were many other separates that are easily wearable – printed leggings and eloquently stitched sweaters would be on trend with knee-high leather boots. If you would like to check it out for yourself, head over to the Anthropologie off of the Brown Line Southport station and one of the extremely pleasant stylists there will help you pick out key items for the season.
