Ann Taylor is my new go-to shop for work attire. Their new arrivals are the perfect mix of professional and chic. Here are some of my favorite pieces, which are bound to be your favorites too.
Ponte Split Back Top ($59, petite and tall)
Georgette Wrap Blouse ($79, petite and tall)
My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.
Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.
Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
Agreed! I can’t wait for the next 40% off Ann Taylor sale day.
Two notes, just fyi: The Georgette wrap blouse — which I am in love with, though haven’t yet tried on — is much more of a peach than the blush it appears on my screen. Also, it did not appear to have a hook or clasp to keep the shirt together, so it may need a minor alteration to avoid flashing your coworkers.
I have tried the Georgette wrap blouse on in the store. Sadly, I don’t see how it could be altered to make it workable in real life. Do yourself a favor and pass on that one.
That’s a shame, because I love the details on that blouse. Why do designers make “work wear” that can’t be actually be worn to work (or anywhere)?
Also–40% off this week for cardmembers with code Friends40 !!!!
Agreed. I really wanted it to work but sadly its just not practical.
How exactly is it not work appropriate? In the picture it looks like it comes up to a crew neck.
Because, if you look closely, the right side overlays/wraps the left. It is only connected at the top (near the clasp) and at the bottom of the blouse. So there’s nothing to keep the blouse from not exposing your bra. :/
I love these picks. I absolutely adore that hunter green faux leather skirt, the ponte split back top, and the tunic. I’m heading to Toronto in a few weeks and will check out the store there, as there is none near me and I have to pay shipping and duty at the online store.
FRIENDS40 will get you 40% off today.
Thank you! I just place an unreasonably large order — love the new collection.
Us Canadians get 30% off, but with shipping and duty it’s almost not worth it. I just did a quick check and duty charges on 3 items is almost $80 cdn.
Thank you, Monica! Just bought three new pairs of shoes.
The shoe new arrivals are on point. Ann Taylor is my go to for shoes, especially heels.
How lucky I happened to come across this post during the 40% sale. I’m really loving both Ann Taylor and LOFT lately. They are definitely better than J. Crew. I bought nearly all of your picks (and some other things too)… P.S. I absolutely love your blog!
