Happy Monday! I saw this hot pink number on Shopbop and loved the shape of the dress. V-neckline and flouncy bottom.

These photos definitely provide inspiration for our living room. The photos* in this post are only a handful from the complete ...

For some reason, I had always thought Ann Taylor was just for workwear... well, now I know that this is not the case. Sure, you can wear most of their clothing to create a full-on workwear ensemble, but you can also create casual looks with them. Or dressy-casual and everything else in between. There is an understated elegance and simplicity to Ann Taylor's pieces and they can be very versatile as well. See the outfits below... everything is from Ann Taylor (you can mix-and-match) and 40% off! xo, I P.S. I find that Ann Taylor almost always has a sale going on, so I advise to not purchase anything full-price from AT. Keep an eye out for sales! :)
