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)
