I love Ann Taylor but don’t have too much luck with their sizes. I have a few items that are XXSP and 00p and they seem to be still too big. I was so excited when this snow leopard cardi in XSP fit really nicely. And for anyone who is similar in size to me, H & M sheath dresses fit really nicely and is very versatile for all seasons. I recently found this heather grey one that is similar to my cream and black one I got last year.

Dress: H & M sheath dress- size 2

Sweater: Ann Taylor Snow Leopard Cardi- size XSP (buy HERE)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Simple 100’s- size 5 (buy HERE)
Belt: Ann Taylor Perfect Skinny Belt- size XS (buy HERE)
Necklace: Grey Pearl/Ribbon from LOFT outlet
Pin: LOFT flower felt pin (ebay)

This cardi is super slim and fitted which is unlike most of my cardigans. It really accentuates your figure which is always great!

This is a simple and easy work outfit for me. I love how comfortable it is and the fact that I can take the cardi off and wear the dress alone with a skinny belt for the Spring and Summer.

The only complaint I have about H & M dresses and skirts is that I wish the length was 1-2″ shorter. I have really short legs so that certainly doesn’t help! Anyone who is a bit taller than me- the length would be perfect.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this LOFT flower felt pin! It’s my favorite flower pin and am so glad I found it on Ebay in cream and grey. I wear them so much- definitely worth it! I sure hope LOFT brings it back in different colors. The sizing is just right. I realized all 3 of my J.Crew flower pins from Crewcuts is really large. But they are so pretty that I can’t return them. I am hoping to use them somehow soon!

I know I have said this a million times but my Ann Taylor perfect patent skinny belt is seriously the best! I wish I wouldn’t have missed out on the porcini color but at least I have my granite and black in XS. I bought another brown lizard one at the AT outlet last weekend for $12.50- the last XS on the rack!

I am still learning my Canon SLR and now have to get a new tripod because the cheapie one I have now is way too weak. So that is on order. I tested out my Canon wireless remote and it works beautifully! And there is a major learning curve going from a point and shoot to a SLR. Hope I can figure things out:) Have a great weekend!!

  1. You're so right about the sizing of Ann Taylor Loft… I'm Canadian but when I went down to the States and tried things on, I was so surprised! I wouldn't consider myself teeny tiny but the XXSP was still a bit big on me! Talk about vanity sizing! In any case, this is a gorgeous cardigan! You've accessorized it to perfection with the necklace, pin and of course the red soles of your shoes. Classy as always!

  2. The cardi is so cute (and I can't believe the price either when Sydney first tweeted) and I love it paired with the H&M sheath dress (I will definitely look for this next time I am there…lol, your blog is so bad for my ban…)

  3. Hmm! I don't think my comment from this morning went through!

    Anyway, I said that I am totally with you regarding AT sizing! Most of the time I wear an XXSP there – and that is CLEARLY wrong since I am at least one full size bigger than you, if not two! It's really sad. I'm glad to hear that this cardigan seems more true to size – it looks really great on you and I love the entire outfit!

  4. LOVE the outfit!

    I also have to ask…where did you get your sofa? I've been looking for one like it.

  5. The sweater looks different on you than on the site. Are my eyes deceiving me? I like how yours has the gray outline, makes the animal print look more subtle. You look great as always!

  6. @Cee I didn't even notice! You could be right! It was the only leopard B/W AT had online so I assumed it was the same…how funny! I wonder if it's a diff version?
