WFH Summer Items: With Ann Taylor

May 19, 2020

How many times have I needed a new piece of clothing for a big meeting, for a trip, or just to boost my spirits and found what I needed at Ann Taylor?  So many times.

When I gained so much weight working the Montana Legislative Session (why does everyone have candy?!?!) that none of my clothes fit?  Ann Taylor.

When I was on a business trip and realized that I had forgotten to pack a business suit?  Ann Taylor.

When I packed a cocktail dress for a wedding where the dress code turned out to be much more casual?  Ann Taylor.

So when I started thinking about where to find pieces that I could wear in my home office and when I go back to a real office, I decided to take a look at Ann Taylor.

AT is also running an incredible sale right now.  50% off of one item.  60% off of two items.  70% off of three items.  Some exclusions apply.  Here are the pieces that I feel I could wear on a high energy WFH day and back to work.

Belted Midi Shirtdress ($159)

Camp Shirt ($69.50, petite and tall)

Geo Shirred Jersey Dress ($129)

Marled 3/4 Sleeve Sweater ($69)

Poppy Check Wrap Dress ($119)

Wide Leg Crop Jeans ($98)

Puff Sleeve Open Sweater Jacket ($105)

    that wrap dress is knocked down to $30! unreal. and you’re the one who taught me when you gain a bunch of weight wrap dresses become a saving grace… perhaps that’s why I now own 3.

    We must have different quarantine experiences because none of these look appealing right now. Or I have fashion depression.

      Could be a bit of depression. But I’m trying to use clothes to lift my mood (when I feel up to it), try a wrap dress. It’s easy, comfy, and when you wear it with fuzzy slippers, you get the best of both worlds.

    Oh my goodness thank you. I just graduated from law school and started at a firm and really needed more suiting. Got two jackets two pants a dress four tops and a pair of earrings for $300!?!

    I also love Ann Taylor, and it’s my go-to for work clothes. I actually feel guilty not buying anything from them right now. I’m terrified they’ll go out of business, but I also can’t justify the expense.

    • Belle says:

      If you’re not shopping at all, I completely understand. But if you’re just looking for more comfortable, WFH clothes, you can still support Ann.Inc. by shopping at LOFT and Lou & Grey.
