Lovely Blouses - Under $10 each

I stopped by Ann Taylor this weekend and found both of these blouses on sales for $9.88 each!! That's cheaper than outlet pricing! I went to the AT outlet store a few weeks ago and felt like everything was still pretty pricey compared to the sale items at regular AT. If you're interested in either blouses, I'd definitely call customer service to see if they can find your size. I have listed style numbers below.
 Ann Taylor Drape Neck Tiered Shell. Size XSP.  Style #: 276081
I almost didn't try on this shell because I normally wear a XXSP. I'm glad I did because the fit is pretty decent and the armholes are still small.
H&M Body Conscious Lace Skirt. Size 2. (similar but much more expensive version here)
F21 Red Belt. (similar here)
Pressely Pumps by MICHAEL Michael Kors. Size 5.5. TTS. (almost identical here)

 Ann Taylor Petite Ruffle Collar Twill Shirt. Size 00P. Style #: 277313
This shirt is a feminine version of a collared button down shirt. It's more fun and flirty with the ruffle collar, but still very office appropriate. In terms of fit, it is still a tiny bit wide on the sides, but not terrible. The sleeves would look better on me if it was 1/2"-1" shorter. Overall, a steal for $9.88!
UO skirt. Size 0. (similar here)
No brand earrings. (similar here)
Tory Burch Pumps (old).

J. Crew Featherweight Cotton Cardigan

I stopped by J. Crew this weekend because I saw SPG blog about some awesome sales items. See her review here & here.

I ended up purchasing 3 Featherweight Cotton Cardigans -- the 2 colors below and one in black (not shown). They are on sale in store for only $29.99. These cardigans are very lightweight and great for the summer. I also love all the pretty colors that J. Crew has to offer.
Wearing size XXS.

I always wear out my cardigans pretty quickly and thought it was worth stocking up. Anyone have advice on how to keep cotton items like this looking new?

BR X Trina Turk Zazzy Zebra Sateen Skirt

Thanks so much to BR for gifting this Trina Turk Zazzy Zebra sateen skirt to me. I love the print and the color. The skirt is made of a nice thick cotton material with lining underneath. As you can see, this skirt super versatile and can be dressed up or down for different looks.
Aritzia Blazer. Size 0. (similar here)/ F21 Tank (similar here)/ Nine West "Metric" Wedge Sandals Size 5.5. (similar here)/ F21 Necklace (similar here)
 
H&M Denim Jacket. Size 2. (similar here)/ Gap Ribbed Tank. Size 0P./ AT Factory Cuff. (similar here)/Nine West "Metric" Wedge Sandals Size 5.5. (similar here)
Aritzia Blazer. (similar here)/ H&M Polka Dot Blouse (similar here)/ Ivanka Trump 'Indico' Pump. Size 5 (sized down 1/2 a size).
Loft Blouse. (similar here)/Michael Kors Berkley T-Strap Sandals. Size 5.5. TTS.

I am wearing a 00P and the waist is still a tad bigger than my liking. In all the pictures above, I do have the skirt clipped back so it sits higher on the waist. The skirt is so versatile, I think it is worth the money and time to have my tailor take in the waist for a better fit.
See Kelly from AN review the same skirt.

BR Striped Knit Sheath Dress

Hello everyone! Happy Mother's Day!
I had the pleasure of visiting NY last weekend. OMG, it is definitely the most exciting busy place I have ever been to. I wish I could have stayed longer because I didn't get to do too much touristy stuff. I did get a chance to catch up with college friends, meet my bf's friends and also with Elle (from FF&FF). I feel like I have known Elle (via blogging) for so long time and it's nice to finally meet her in person. We had a blast shopping in SOHO and eating at Momofuku noodle bar. Elle is so genuine, kind and such a wonderful person. I'm so happy too have met so many wonderful people blogging. It's kind of crazy...haha! My coworkers and mom thinks I'm nuts for meeting people from the internet. LOL!
I haven't stepped foot into BR for the longest time. I was enticed by their 40% off any one full priced item promo, so I decided to go in and browse the store. I actually found a handful of stuff I wanted to try on, but of course everything was just too big except for this Striped Knit Sheath Dress.
Positives:  I am shocked at how small this dress fits compared to most BR dresses. The arm holes are small and waist is nicely fitted. The bust area is also perfect. I'd say this dress fits similar to a H&M 2 or an Asos Petite 0. Also the dress is not lined, but the heavier knit material keeps it from being see through.

Negatives: (see below) I'm kind of on the fence about this dress because of the back. As you can see the material doesn't lay flat and puffs up in the hip area.

What do you think? Is this a winner or is it a return due to the puffing in the back?
