Buy It Now: Anthropologie Necklace Tank

Sorry for the lack of posting lately, I’m in the middle of a move and my time seems to be eating itself up this week.  However, here’s  a quick product recommendation.  Rarely do I ever buy things at full price from Anthropologie: almost everything from that store is freakishly adorable, but clearly overpriced, and everything *will* eventually go on sale for a first cut of 50% off.  But there are some pieces that are too cute to be deferred, pieces that actually retail at a reasonable price for their worth (past instances of this have included the Behind-The-Clouds-Dress and the Lost Locale Blouse — neither of which incidentally, quite uncharacteristically, ever went on sale….hrm…).  I think the Necklace Tank falls under this umbrella.

It is a soft cotton halter tank, edged at the neck with a series of delicate rosettes with rhinestone centers.  The straps are composed of grosgain ribbons, and unlike most tops, there are two pairs: a regular pair of halter straps you tie in the back, and a pair of straps that go straight back and connect to a racerback cutout in the back.  It makes the tank look pretty cute, but also, to me functionality-wise, that is a god-send.  I never ever wear halter tops because my chest feels so unsupported, and also I’m paranoid about the straps coming untied all the time.  With the straight straps, there is none of that worry (especially since you can conceal racerback bra straps underneath them if need be, so you don’t have to go strapless or completely without if you don’t want to.)  The bottom has a slight bubble hem, which I probably could have done without, but it doesn’t look too bad on actually, and in general I think it adds to the girly, romantic, ballet-inspired feel.  It comes in three lovely color combinations: solid gray, solid yellow (a nice gentle buttercup shade), and white (which has pink rosettes and accent straps).  For only $68, I think top is a steal, and I am tempted to get all three.  Like most tops by Deletta, it runs true-to-size.  The smaller sizes are sold out or backordered online, but like most pieces that sell out quickly from Anthro, I suspect they will be restocked, and also, I think stores should have plenty.  I have seen and tried on a lot of rosette-adorned tees out in stores this season, but this is definitely my favorite…I’d advise you to run out and get it now if you can :)
