Recent Purchases: 50% off Banana Republic & Ann Taylor

I hope everyone had a great weekend! The past couple of days have been unseasonably warm for Boston, reaching 60 degrees!

I'm sharing a couple of recent purchases from Ann Taylor and Banana Republic when they had a 50% off final sale items. The sale is still going strong at Banana Republic and has increased to 60% off final sale items at Ann Taylor.

First up is ANN TAYLOR- I walked in not expecting to purchase anything. I immediately went to the sale area and I saw stacks of shoes and boots marked as final sale. There were several pairs of kittens heels in the color Cobalt flame that immediately caught my eye (I've been wanting a pair of blue suede heels and smaller heels for everyday since I tend to go for 4+ inches).  These were on final sale for $28.00.
These KITTEN HEELS are currently $89 with extra 60% off online ($36 final), but in store they are $28.99 (final sale). These have a 2.5 inch heel pictured on their website photo below.

I love this pairing with classic pieces and neutral colors from the AT site!

There were quite a few pairs of these as well as the higher heel version (EXOTIC LEATHER PUMP) also marked for final sale at $32.99.

After seeing these on my feet, my husband exclaimed "well you have to get the matching bag" and ran over to the rack to get it for me. I had no intentions of purchasing the clutch, but after seeing how much my husband liked the bag, I ended up purchasing it too.
The bag was a little pricier at $44 (not final sale); still debating weather or not to keep it (not sure how much wear I'd get out of it). This clutch comes in several colors (red, cobalt, black suede, studded version, and glitter version)

Several of you messaged me about items I've worn recently and their sizing, so I'll be sharing that.  A handful of these items are also on sale from the retailers mentioned above.

First is up the PUFFER VEST from J.Crew Factory. These are less than $60. I have a DETAILED REVIEW HERE.

The LEOPARD FLATS are from Nordstrom, but are not on sale. I've received many comments about these. They run large. I am usually a size 6, but am wearing 5.5

I've been trying to not purchase any more handbags since I have way too many and don't even use all of them. My problem is I end up using one for weeks at a time and don't rotate through my collection. Well, after seeing the GUSSET CROSSBODY BAG on JESS, I couldn't help myself  and ended up purchasing one as well. These are marked down to $79,99 with an additional 70% off. There were several colors on stock at my local Ann Taylor, but these seem to be fully stocked online. I will be posting a full review on this in the next couple of days.

The Burgundy, Silver lake gray, and aurora red 

This Anne Taylor EMBROIDERED DOT PERFECT SHIRT  is 40%
For reference, I am wearing 0P - initially the sleeves were a tad long for me, but the shirt did shrink a tiny bit in the wash and fits perfectly now.
