Lots of great basics and some unexpected novelty finds to build out your wardrobe this spring, including petite sizes.

Happy Shopping!

Sunday Sales: Ann Taylor

Polo Sweater

This might be unpopular, but I am a sucker for a polo shirt, especially in the warm weather. They are a lovely, elevated alternative to a basic tee shirt.

This one has stretch and is form-fitted.

It’s available in sizes XS—XXL for $33.60. I went up a size and took the large for a better fit.

And here’s a quick note on the star ratings you see on product pages. This one, for example, has 2.7 stars, which may make you jump off the page. But if you like the look of something, always read the reviews. Someone gave it 1 star because they “couldn’t put it on their wish list,” which has nothing to do with the item’s quality.

Price is reflective of the discounts.

Plaid Twill Cropped Mac Jacket

Apparently we’re calling anything not oversized cropped now, so annoying. There is nothing cropped about this sweet novel jacket.

If you like plaid, this will instantly add some fun personality to your neutral basics.

I also loathe how they styled it, because it’s hard to see how versatile it actually is.

But paired with dark jeans, and navy, black or white trousers, it’s a real stand out piece.

It’s run large so go down one size.

Originally priced at $200, it’s now on sale for $78, which is much more reasonable for what it is.

Available in classic and petite XXS -XXL.

$76.80

Flounce Collared Shirt

This blouse is beautiful and for under $35 it’s a no brainer if you’re looking to add some dramatic, different styled tops to your spring wardrobe.

I picked it up in the medium to pair with jeans for date night.

Available in classic and petite sizes XXS – XXL for $33.60.

Price is reflective of the discounts.

Button Split Neck Sweater Tee

Another under $35 option to add some variety to your spring tops. I love the button detail at the shoulder, the flattering split neck and the length.

Pair with jeans and black or navy trouser in either a slim, straight or slightly wide leg.

Available for $33.60 in XXS – XXL.

Price is reflective of the discounts.

The Tab Waist Straight Ankle Pant

If you are looking for an under $50 pant for work, consider their Tab Waist Straight Ankle Pant.

Available in navy, black and tan, in classic and petite 00 – 18 for $43.20. They run big so size down.

These should hit at your ankle and look great with flats or heels – so you have lots of options. The navy would be super cute paired with the plaid jacket and floral blouse featured above.

Price is reflective of the discounts.

Puff Sleeve Tee

Pretty, simple, and easy to wear.

Pair white, navy or denim of your choice.

I also picked this up in a medium to wear with these jeans I just received and LOVE (featuring them next week) and these gorgeous enamel earrings I found on Amazon.

Price is reflective of the discounts.

Puff Sleeve Tee

Plaid Pull On Pencil Skirt

It’s hard to see in the photo, but this navy pull on skirt has a subtle, tonal, chic plaid print that lifts the skirt from basic to interesting.

Available in classic and petite sizes in XXS -XXL for only $37.80.

I LOVE how it’s styled below, such a great example of how to mix neutrals that aren’t black AND how a print can be neutral too.

Price is reflective of the discounts.

Italian Collection Pearlized Bow Earrings

We featured these over the holidays and I wore them frequently with a classic cashmere black sweater and my black coated jeans.

They are on sale for $35.94 marked down from $98.

Megan, recently in an article you talked about a makeup artist that you follow. I cannot seem to find the article. Can you give me her name again? Thanks so much!

Hi Megan....love your website and am using my Pinterest page for shopping. Question, as an older woman with a tummy, I need layering pieces such as camis that are bigger at the bottom and not so slim as to show the flaws. Perhaps like something to wear with the sweater you are showing today. Any ideas there would be great. Thanks.....

Megan - It's that time of year again when I start trying to find white jeans/pants . Yes, it might be a little early but if I don't start now I won't have them to wear in the spring. I'm in a weight gain season so I am getting frustrated that all I have been able to find so far are smaller sizes. Suggestions?

Jeanne

Thanks once again for great ideas!! Can't wait to get my items!

Love your posts! Can you do one on sundresses/cover ups etc for a winter getaway to the beach? You always find the best things! Thanks!

It looks like J Crew is offering an additional discount on sale items- it brought the necklace down to 17.50!

Ruby

I assume prices are in American dollars, Ordering from US is always a tedious process, and returns are a pain. I have a Borderfree account. Any suggestions ?

Megan Kristel

This is an US based website and I am a one woman show, I don't have any suggestions.

Hi Megan, So many great posts this month! Question: I have the J Crew V-Neck Soft Gauze Popover and really love the weight and quality. I struggle with the tuck - I'm short waisted so a little long to not tuck but the vent cuts on the side always seem to poke out just looking off when I do try to tuck. Any suggestions?

I bought the green ring too - so cute and while I was there updated all my power gem bracelets from Gorjana (I wear them every day) - fun post today! Especially love your note about getting back to the spirited side of you and why you love fashion xo

Hi! Where can we find the belt in the photo? The one with the joined circles?

Nancy

@Wendy, Hi, I think Megan has shown this one or a similar one from Amazon.

I like this one! I like the texture. I feel like it would help hide lumps!šŸ˜ https://www.talbots.com/scallop-stitch-sweater-dress/P223036810.html?cgid=apparel-dresses-casual&dwvar_P223036810_color=LAGOON&dwvar_P223036810_sizeType=MS

Hi Megan, I love the look turtlenecks but I don't typically wear them because they elongate my already very long torso. Would layering a shacket or vest on top help balance out a long torso or should I still steer clear ?

Looking for warm white pant recommendations

Patty

Where would you recommend buying warm white jeans that you talk about pairing with the puff sleeve cardigan?

Janet

My new jeans are boyfriend and straight ankle length. So canā€™t wear with my Caslon booties?Absolutely love the AGL booties but they are $630 in CanadašŸ˜¢

I picked up the Old Navy Jeans today, and they fit me very well; I expect to get a lot of wear from them. While I was there, I tried on the Plaid Flannel Boyfriend Tunic Shirt and was very unimpressed - it easily added 20 lbs to my entire torso! I see now that the models online are all wearing much smaller sizes than they should be to accurately show the fit of the shirt. Their sleeves are much too short and the "drop" shoulder doesn't drop on them. The fit on the plus sized model appears to be more accurate. Have you considered doing a post on shirt jackets, plaid and/or solid colors? Thank you!

I picked up those Madewell sneakers; they are so good. Do you think we can wear them with a dress? I'm still trying to figure out this sneakers with dress thing and would love guidance. It seems really easy to be frumpy instead of trendy with that one.

Megan Kristel

Monday 5th of September 2022

Yes, actually we're featuring them on Wednesday because so many readers picked them up and I have them paired with a sweater dress. I think you just have to find the right one for our bodytype but it would be really cute.

Terri

Sunday 4th of September 2022

Thanks so much for letting us know that the Madewell sneakers are now 30% off. I bought them two weeks ago for $110 and returned them, but Iā€™ve been thinking I should have given them more of a chance to break in before returning them so quickly. I just ordered them again, and this time they were only $67!

Hi Megan! I hope you do a "leather blazer 3 ways" piece, showcasing one like the Anouk style, above. I have a very similar blazer and would love some ideas on how to wear it. Thank you and keep up the great posts!
