Ann Taylor is hitting the ground running on Labor Day Sales with a little mid-week pick-me-up.  The retailer for working women everywhere is offering 40%-off everything, and an additional 10%-off full-price sweaters and tops with code LASTHURRAH.  Here are my best picks.

These straight ponte pants (also in petite) are such a great alternative too basic navy.  The slate blue just as versatile, but fresher.

This ruched top is so flattering — a great choice for waist definition.  Pair it with the blue pants above and white blazer for work, or grab your best black pencil and killer pumps for a day-to-night look.

A tale of two fall skirts, one wild, one subtle.  I’d pair the leopard with a classic black turtleneck, and the tweed with an ivory sweater.  Both of these are great alternatives to the basic pencil.

Speaking of day-to-night, let’s talk about this boatneck dress.  This is the dress for conventions, conferences, and off-sites.  Wear it to meetings under a jacket or sweater.  Then, break out the big earrings, the tousled waves, and the eyeliner for evening.

Florals for fall.  Yes, florals for fall.  This cute blouse with a bit of a ruffle is a great way to bring a hint of femininity to any cardigan or jacket.  I love the subtlety of the print.
