The Limited Print Blouse

I added this item to cart and was mulling it over when the husband said, "Just do it." and so, I did.  I think it was a great buy.  This is a sheer printed blouse in purple/plum/white/black.  I wore it to work with a black t shirt underneath.  It has 3/4 sleeves and a banded bottom, in a loose silhouette.  I am hoping as the temperature rises I will also be able to wear it with a tank top underneath for those rare super hot days of summer.

Ann Taylor trouser jeans, dark wash

I went on a bender on the Ann Taylor website. I meant to look at 1 thing, and ended up purchasing 4 things. Should I be surprised? No. They were having a take an additional 50% off sale on top of sales kind of sale. So, the good news, if there is any, is that this total order cost under $100 total, but I do now know if I NEEDED all of these pieces. First up: stretchy "trouser jeans" in dark blue. I put that in quotes because the top fits more like a jegging. It was tight. Too tight to keep? I couldn't decide. That, and the only part that kind of bothered me was the button, which I was hoping I could move. So I decided to keep them, since the color was good. Oh, and I couldn't decide if I had camel toe. I know, not a good look, not a good question. But otherwise, they seemed ok, so I was hoping that they would wash and stretch in my favor. We will see. I was disappointed, since their size 0 trousers actually do fit me very well, actually are usually a little loose, so it was strange that these jeans seemed to fit a little snug. I guess they are meant to be that way?

After a wash, the jeans fit perfectly and do not camel toe any more.  I'm not really sure how that works, but I am very glad that they are machine wash professional jeans that do not go creeping where they do not belong.
