When I worked at Anthropologie, one of the most valuable fashion tricks I learned was to shop in the Lounge Department. Why? Because you can find clothing just as stylish as in the Apparel Departments, for considerably less.

The mint green chemise with ecru crochet trim could easily pass for an easy breezy spring/summer dress! The price is only $88! It is beautifully constructed with pintucks, a drop waist with flounces & beautiful crochet trim!

The navy blue empire chemise is reminiscent of Morocco, printed with patina gold starbursts & polka dots, with a panel of patina gold polka dotted fabric, gathered & shirred going down the center front of the dress, yours for $58. Add a pair of gold earrings & sandals & your good to go!

The black romper is ADORABLE & so of the moment! Rompers are one of the biggest Spring/Summer trends in 09'. One could wear it with flip flops during the day or with flat or high heeled gladiators at night, a long gold necklace & an envelope purse. Only $68.

Find these items at your local Anthropologie shop or Anthropologie.com...if you stop in at the one in Westport, CT, tell them 'xtina' sent you! ;)
