Ann Taylor Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

Sheesh, Ann Taylor, who would've imagined I'd ever spend so much money at your store? Thanks to all the fellow bloggers, I think I've become an official convert! I was able to finally order the coveted perfect pumps during the recent 40% off sale and couldn't be happier!

Perfect Patent Pump in Walrus, Perfect Elle Pump in Black, and Leonie Suede Flat in size 5 1/2.
Aren't they pretty? These have the perfect round-toe and heel height for work and play.

My first rave about these shoes are that they are *SO* comfortable! The footbed leather is sooo soft and smooth. I wore the pumps to work and was able to comfortably walk a few blocks for lunch without any slip-ups or pain. Ah-mazing. I ordered the flats after PAG blogged about the crazy 50% off sale and although the bling is a little more than I like on my shoes, I think they'll be fun for holiday parties and paired with a simple and otherwise unaccessorized weekend outfit (leggings + t-shirt!). Still on the lookout for some black flats though!

Wearing Tropical Wool Skirt, Perfect Patent Pumps in Walrus, and shirt from Banana Republic.

Hmm, I'm just not sure about the skirt. I love the color and texture, but it slipped and twisted every second of the day and I just don't think it looks that good on me. The 2P did end up being a little too loose so I had to pull the skirt down to my hips which might have added to this problem. I tried taking it to the store to exchange to avoid having to pay for return shipping but they weren't in stock. :( I might end up having to return it! What to do?! I also wanted to add that I ended up returning the Silk Polka Dot shirt because I didn't like the feel of the material and the fit was really weird. The sleeves were a lot shorter than the elbow-length on the model and the neckline felt really awkward on me. It didn't look bad, but didn't look as elegant as I hoped it would for the price. I might have to take a shot at AT clothes another time, but for now, the shoes are totally worth the hype!

Ann Taylor 40% Off Sale

Oh blogging community, you make me poor! Thanks to Jean at ExtraPetite always raving about her love for the Ann Taylor perfect pumps (check out this post for her vast collection of them), I've been sitting on my hands waiting for the 40% off sale that was to come. Finally, the day is here for me to grab some for myself! Use code ANNSTYLE for 40% off 3 or more full-priced items and get free shipping for orders over $150!

Perfect Elle Pump in Black, size 5.5 (orig: $158, sale: $95): I'm embarrassed to say that I actually don't own a real pair of standard leather work pumps, so these were a must!

Perfect Patent Pump in Walrus, size 5.5 (orig: $155, sale: $93): I'm trying to go lighter with my work outfits, so having several pairs of non-black heels is a good push for this goal. Have had my eye on these for so long and will definitely be wearing them lots!


Ann Taylor at ShopStyle
Petite Silk Polka Dot Ruched Top in size 0P (orig: $88, sale: $52): I never, ever wear button-ups to work and this top is a great choice for the fall with its longer sleeves. Plus the polka dots keep it fun and feminine.

Petite Tropical Wool Skirt in Heather Grey, size 2P (orig: $108, sale: $62): I'm not sure why I missed PAG's advice on this skirt running big, but I ordered it in my normal size of 2. Hoping this will fit!

All of the above for $335. I was really looking forward to buying some pants for the fall/winter, but all the ones I wanted were completely sold out in my sizes (twill pants, anyone?). Sadness. Oh well, until the next sale... I've been on a crazy shopping spree and need to STOP. What are you girls getting from this sale?
