Reviews: Ann Taylor Sale Tops and H&M Skirts

I have seen so many petite bloggers wear Ann Taylor, I finally decided to give it a try and take advantage of their sale!! Thank you petite bloggers for introducing me to this. I would have known about Ann Taylor! The store looks so sophisticated and I would never associate sophistication with me (lol!), so I never bothered to stop by. I also used Chloe's coupon codes to get 20% off the entire purchase! YAY!

Ann Taylor Animal Print Silk Crepe Shirt with Back Zipper -- $29.99. Size 00P.

I love this shirt! It's so soft because it's made out of silk. I also really like the zipper detail on the back. I love this shirt so much, I'm wearing it today!! See image on the side panel.

There are shoulder pads! YUCK! I took it off right away.

Ann Taylor Petite Sleeveless Cowl Neck Top. $29.99. XXS (regular). Sophia also review it-- she looks very lovely in it!!!

I love this top and the draping cowl neck line.The top is so soft and I like that it's longer so it's easier to tuck into skirts.

Ann Taylor Pleated Trim Tank. $29.99. XXS (regular). PetiteXXS also reviewed this one in a couple of colors.

No more petite sizes available, so I got the regular one. Too big overall. Returning this one.

I do love the fabric and how soft and stretchy it is!

Ann Taylor Cotton Stretch Short Sleeve Shirt. $29.99. 00 (regular)

There were no more petite sizes, so I ordered a regular. It's too big all around. I'm returning this one!

Below are 2 skirts I got from H&M. I bought them without trying it on!

Size 2. $34.95.

I do love the pretty color and the material feels and looks expensive. The skirt is also nicely lined inside. The waist fits well-- not tight or loose. I think it looks a little boxy on me. There is too much material in the hip area and I don't like how it ballons out in the front and back. Returning this one.

See tag below for price and barcodes.

Size 2. $34.95.

This skirt also looked promising. I think it's a little too roomy for me in the hips. The length is also too long for my liking. I do love the lace a lot and the skirt is also nicely lined. I'm also returning this one.

Summer Casual Work Outfit

As you all know by now, I don't post too many work outfits. This one is for Extra Petite's Summer Work Outfit Contest. Living in SF, we don't have much of a summer so this is the closes thing I have as a summer work outfit.

Outfit Details:

Shirt from H&M
Size: XS
I've had this shirt for a awhile, but never really wore it because it was so wrinkly. I hate ironing and I finally went to get a garment steamer this weekend. Oh I was so excited when I got it home, I steamed all my pants and silks tops. LoL. I am a dork.

Skirt from a SF Boutique
Size: XS
I love the pockets on the sides. Keeps my hands warm. :)

Shoes by Jessica Simpson (from 4 years ago!)
Size: 5.5
They fit true to size and are pretty comfy.

Cardigan is from Zara
Size: XS
