I love Anthropologie. In fact, I say it's my favorite store. However, I have only ever purchased one thing from them. My husband made me buy some lotion. It was the most expensive lotion I've ever purchased, but I can now finally say I have bought something from my favorite store! The thing I love about them is their styling. For me, it's the "LOOK" they create. That's what I buy into - the look, not necessarily their products.
The same way I try and get the Pottery Barn look with out the products, I try and get the Anthropologie look without the price. It's bohemian chic after all ... and no chic bohemian would pay those prices!
I made this necklace last night,
and after browsing through Anthropolgie online, found something similar.
This Anthropologie necklace would be too chunky on me anyways. Actually, I took apart a necklace that was more like the Anthropolgie necklace and made a smaller version because whenever I wore the original necklace, I felt like Thelma Flintstone!
No, they are not just alike, but they can both be used to achieve a similar look. And it's the "LOOK" I'm after anyways! Only mine is about $140 less! It just so happens that I made one for me, and one for my Etsy store. Check out my Little Moons Necklace here!
Yours is lovely!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda!
ReplyDeleteAnd Erin ... believe me, it's not for lack of knowing WHAT to buy, it's that I can never pick just ONE thing, so I end up with nothing! hahaha
