As I crossed the parking lot on my way to Anthropologie Palo Alto today, who do I see? Kim Wheeler of Northern California Style and Elizabeth aka the Contessa!!!! After a big welcome, I sat myself down for a quick visit and a bit of fashion advice. I’d been carrying a pair of Pilcro tassel hem jeans around with me the past month, going back and forth as to keep or return them to Anthro. After a what do you think opinion from these two fashion gurus, the verdict was yes – if you have something to wear them with (and you wash them carefully) they’re keepers. Perhaps a simple white shirt, nude or metallic shoe – then let the jeans shine! After swooning over Elizabeth’s fabulous accessories and impressive ring stack, I said my good-byes and headed into the store.
Upon entering, I was hit in the face with 50% off all sale shoes…whaat? How did Anthro know I was shoe shopping? I didn’t know I was shoe shopping! Perhaps I’d get lucky and find not only a pair of shoes, but a top to wear with my jeans in the 25% off sale room!
Back up the bus…totally overwhelmed in sale greatness, Anthro apparel stylist Karen Coy came over to say hi along with Jennie Ho, pal and Anthro team member. My lucky day! Out came my jeans (again) and with the help of now 4 fab women, I have shoes, a bag and a darling white top to wear with my now “a keeper” beaded hem jeans!
Being my shopping shenanigans occurred only a few hours ago, I haven’t had the time to style my new look for you. What I am sharing is my finds along with a message; if you are in the market for some fun pieces from Anthro to spice up your look…run on over to the Palo Alto store, the shoe selection is huge! I noticed that online shoes are 25% off sale, but in store they were 50% off the sale price. All other sale is 25% off already deep markdown prices.
Note: before starting your car, perhaps call your local store to check that this sale is on. When I asked the cashier, she told me was pretty sure it was running thru the weekend. But I say check to be sure.

That was a great shopping trip! And those shoes…..wow!
Hi Nancy! Yes, such an unexpected adventure. I had no plans of shopping, yet the women I met along the way inspired me to try a few new things…and at the prices it was easy to add a few ‘outside’ the box items to refresh my closet!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Suzanne

Hi Elizabeth! You both seriously made my day! I loved meeting you and chatting about your life, home, style and your little piggy! Even though I dish out style advice to readers and friends all day long, it is such a gift to be the receiver of opinions and styling advice – and you were both so helpful! THose sneakers were so fun! The sale in itself was a true treasure hunt, perhaps that is why I enjoyed it so much! I was so focused on the jeans I never even looked at pants! I love the tops I picked up though. Can’t wait to see Banksy in his new stylish scarf!
Have a wonderful weekend!

P.S. I got some cute shoes thanks to you- leopard Supergas from Anthro. Wish I saw those Loeffler Randalls. What a deal and SOOO beautiful.
Loved running into you and Elizabeth – thanks for letting me crash your lunch for a few minutes. Leopard Supergas sound like so much fun, you lucked out that they were in your size! Would love to get together for lunch or coffee anytime!
