I’m not going to lie, you guys, I have a lot to do today. I have a final on Monday (Copyrights) and so my aunt literally chose the worst weekend possible to come visit. Goddamn. And I have to CLEAN. And I’ve been running on about 4 hours of sleep per night all week (insomnia/stuff to do) with NO caffeine pills. I KNOW. How am I still coherent?
So anyway, today I’m putting up another collection – this time, some of my favorite finds from Ann Taylor for under $50. I picked tops, bottoms, shoes, and there’s a piece or two available in petite sizes.
Let’s get crack-a-lackin’!
As always, click to purchase.
Just a classic black pencil skirt, knee-length, of course. Ann Taylor carries great, timeless pieces that are durable and of good quality, so this is a no-brainer when it comes to wardrobe staples.
Is this gorgeous or what? Look at that silk. This top is delicate and feminine and elegant, and I love the little ruffly bib. Whimsical and dainty, in a fabulous color.
This is also available in fresh orchid and light ground pepper. I love how comfy and slouchy this cardigan looks, but the fitted sleeves keep it from being too slouchy, you know? And I like the trim! It’s ultra-fine merino wool, so it’ll cover up but it’s still relatively lightweight.
I’m a sucker for a really nice pair of pants, which are totally near-impossible for me to find because I’m so small. :( For Christ’s sake, my straight-leg jeans are skinny jeans for 12 year olds. >:( I’m not kidding, the size is 12 Slim. My baggy jeans are 14 Regular. For 14 year olds. FML.
I JUST WANT TO BE A REAL BOY.
But, you know, like, a girl instead.
Watch this. Trust me. Hee hee hee.
Isn’t this lovely? It’s an understated, classy, and fresh take on the leopard print. I love the color and texture, and it’d be a great accessory for any workplace outfit. Except, like, a hot pink one. Then it’d just look WTF.

I do my best to keep you guys from looking all WTF. I hope you are aware of this and appreciative of it.
And last but not least, some jewelry. The disparately sized pearls, the flirty little ribbon – love it. An updated take on classic pearl jewelry.
All right, that’s it for today. My caffeine pill is kicking in and before long I won’t be able to type right, and I’ll once again be obsessed with haggis. The other day I took some pills and haggis was like ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT YOU GUYS and since Andy is all look at me, I’m Scottish, I tweeted at him to tell me what haggis was because I needed to know RIGHT THEN but he didn’t reply because he’s a turd, so I ended up YouTubing it, and I opened like 14 different tabs for videos with haggis, and then I was so confused, and later when I was crashing from my high I decided to yell at him for not properly explaining haggis to me and then he explained it better than any of those scary YouTube videos, and then I told him that while I eat weird things, I don’t eat organs, and now he wants me to eat haggis but all I want right now are really spicy chicken wings.
You guys!
Okay, time to do some Copyrights. Final Monday. Wish me luck! Go, team, go! USA! USA! USA!
