Live the Life of a Catalog: J.Crew

Timeless yet fresh, classic yet surprising.  Enroll for an education on J.Crew.
Slightly Androgynous:
the most feminine item in a J.Crew look is the woman wearing the clothes.  Garments are tailored to her figure but remain naked enough for her to take the lead.

Classic with a Twist
Individual pieces find their distinction in combinations: chestnut and seafoam, wedding gowns and thickly framed glasses,   
All American
Drawing from its East Coast roots, its timeless stylings represent cross generational americana
Refined:
simple elegant details finish every look.  A thin patent leather belt or a sumptuous structured satchel, finishing elements are always applied but never overdone.

Live the Life of a Catalog: How to Dress Like Anthropologie

As promised below is the decoder ring to the Anthropologie Aesthetic.

ShopStyle
In other examples:
Feminine.
Style is signed with Romantic and Bohemian strokes.

Down Country/Rugged.
Provence not Paris.  Efforts should be made to keep the look slightly rugged.  Thick sweaters over gossamer blouses, silk dresses over aged leather boots.  Mix your Yin & Yang or Highs & Lows.

Traveled/Wanderlust.
Culture, food, and customs inspire her home and wardrobe.  Liberally mix and match ethnic prints and global materials.
Educated/Cultivated.
Anthro-ites are well read, well spoken, and curious.   Abandon the path of straight and narrow matching in favor of unexpected color and pattern combinations.  
 Distinction Footwear:
Boots & Blocky Embellished Heels
  Trademark Accessory:
Statement Necklaces & Scarves

  Unmistakeable Styling: 
Mismatched Prints and Patterns
In actual execution:
Anthro-philes demonstrate.
Alex  (pregnancy induced middle figure, warm complexion, bohemian style)
Beth (linear figure, cool & delicate complexion, romantic style)
