Purse: Yves Saint Laurent Cabas Chyc Mini in Dragee
This Rebecca Taylor tweed dress was a major score when I was visiting my family several weeks ago. It was kind of a fluke that I found it. I typically loathe going into Macy’s but my sister dragged me in there to rummage through the sales racks to find free people items for her. While I was digging through the messy clearance racks, I saw this tweed material sticking out of the clearance racks, my eyes were immediately drawn to it and when I pulled it out….I shrieked like a little girl. The SA’s were laughing at me as I ran into the fitting room. It looked so small on the hanger so I knew it had hope. As soon as I put it on, I yelled for my sister to come and check it out. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It fit like a glove in every square inch with no alterations? Could this be? I fell in love instantly. I’ve heard of Rebecca Taylor but her price point has always been a bit much for me and never knew her size 0’s ran so small. I’m not sure if it’s just this particular dress that is petite friendly but it’s worth checking out.
The dress was regular price $475 but marked down to $148 plus I had a coupon. Total out the door was $118. I thought this was a phenomenal deal for a designer dress with no tailoring costs and I feel great in it.
Say hello to my new blush baby….isn’t she gorgeous? I debated between this and the Ferragamo Briana in grey opal. The price point of the Ferragamo is very attractive – it’s much lower than most similar designer bags. The only downside is it didn’t come in a blush color and you have to purchase the longer strap separately. I do love the sleek and structured design of the Ferragamo bag….it was a tough decision but I ultimately went with my gut.
I love this outfit for so many reasons…it’s a tweed dress that has a bit of edge yet still holding a feminine flair. The blush accents add just the right amount of color but still staying neutral. This is a great example of my personal style.
Do you think I made the right decision choosing the blush YSL? And have you experienced Rebecca Taylor?
lovely dress!

My jaw dropped trying to see these pictures. Annie, you deliver ANOTHER fashionable knockout punch (or knockout kick if you prefer kickboxing) with this outfit! Absolutely beautiful you are. Very nice dress along with an elegant pair of pumps. The handbag is gorgeous, too.

The outfit looks amazing! No, I haven’t experienced Rebecca Taylor (not a Macy’s fan either) but I probably would have passed right over that dress but it looks great styled with the shoes and bag.
Thanks Jessica! I never find anything at Macy’s EVER but then again I usually don’t have the patience to dig. It was by force and I was able to score my AG jeans and this dress:)

Love the dress on you! It’s a classic with a twist. And the handbag rocks in the blush color and goes with the shoes nicely!

Beautiful dress. Blush suits you well. I think having to purchase the strap separately would have turned me off too. I think you made the right decision bc this bag seems more you 🙂

Love the bag. Shoes match beautifully. I agree with your choice of the YSL over the Ferragamo. I suspect you will be glad you made the investment for a long time.
I think you are right Lesley! I am really happy with my decision and am happy that you think so too:)

This dress looks great on you! I own the Fall 2011 version of this dress, and I absolutely love it. As far as sizing, Rebecca Taylor is really hit or miss for me. I have a few Rebecca Taylor items in size 0 that fit fantastic, but I’ve tried on other size 0 items that were huge. I’m about the same size as you.
