Sale Alert: Extra 50% off sale items at Ann Taylor + Banana Republic Review

Take an extra 50% off sale items at Ann Taylor – no code needed. I recently picked up this necklace ($17.50) and this petite friendly bracelet  ($9.99) in-store (also available online now).  The necklace goes with everything and will be great for Spring and Summer. I’ve already styled it with two different looks:

I ordered a few items recently during the 40% off sale items at Banana Republic.  I’ve been eying this houndstooth dress since it first came out but the stock photo did nothing for me. I ordered it anyway because of price and it ended up being a winner. It’s one of the better fitting BR dresses I have.  BR dresses have a tendency to be longer in length and wide in the hips – this one fits perfectly.

Definitely keeping and would recommend. The only negative thing is that it’s unlined.

Striped button shoulder pullover sweater – size XXSP (navy, mustard, and black)

I debated on which color to keep and with the help of everyone on Instagram, I decided to keep the mustard. After thinking about it some more, I have decided to return all of them. They are cute and the price was good but I don’t need anymore striped sweaters.  I’m trying to practice self-control and only keeping things I absolutely love.

Chain link scarf (see this on Jess)

Still mulling over this. I got it for around $17.99 but have so many scarfs that I never wear. I really want to invest in a scarf ring (see review by WhatJessWore) but haven’t gotten around to it.

I finally decided to get my J.Crew crystal bow belt after not being able to get it out of my mind a couple of weeks ago.  My patience paid off because I scored it for around $17. Unfortunately, size small runs very large. After punching the additional holes I needed, the extra material of the belt wraps all the way to the back.   I wish I could have found this in an XS.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

  1. Those are two of my favorite OOTD’s this week! I’m glad they made it’s way to your blog. The bow belt is so adorable and it’s a fun and girly touch to your work outfit. I haven’t tried tying the scarf the way you draped it so I should give that a try. I hope you get the scarf ring because it really helps with knotting silk scarves new/different ways.

  3. I’ve read some just right stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting.
    I wonder how much attempt you place to create this type of excellent informative website.

  4. Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if
    blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

  5. I must thank you for the efforts you have put in penning this blog.

    I really hope to check out the same high-grade blog posts from you in the future as well.

    In truth, your creative writing abilities has motivated me
