Ann Taylor has a bunch of things marked 50% off, which is resulting in some nice sales. This red blouse, for example, is one of their bestsellers, and comes down to $32… nice!
It’s available in sizes XXS-XXL, and is machine washable. It also comes in a deep brown.
Psst: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale preview has begun — while you can’t purchase yet, you CAN start building your wishlist. I’m working on a big roundup with all of my top picks for different categories. Some early things I’m psyched about:
- Spanx Air Essentials has a number of pieces in the sale, and I’m curious if these Zella pants will be a good dupe for the pants everyone loves for $54.
- My favorite sweater blazer, hands down, is this one from L’Agence, which I still regret not buying when they had it in last year’s NAS in green.
- Not that exciting, but sometimes you just want a basic V-necked short-sleeve blouse like this one from Halogen.
- These Linea Paolo booties feel fresh and stylish
- I’m digging all of the Jenny Bird jewelry pieces in the sale.

In the last few months the peach fuzz on my 7 year old’s legs has been replaced by “real” leg hair that’s longer and darker and looks like adult leg hair. I plan to ask her doctor too, but anecdotally is this an early sign of puberty or a sign she’ll go through it at a younger than average age?
