Outfit Details: Ann Taylor Lace Shift Dress | Jimmy Choo ‘Lottie’ Heels | Chloe + Isabel Swept Away Collar Necklace | Chloe ‘Drew’ Purse | Kate Spade Watch | Tarte Lipstick (Sass)
I’ve been shopping at Ann Taylor at least for fifteen years, ever since I became a medical professional. Their clothes have always been geared towards professional women, and thus it was natural for me to shop there. I found this Ann Taylor lace dress during their *almost* 50% off Friends and Family sale. I just loved the soft, what I would call periwinkle color, along with the pretty the lace detail. The 2 petite was the perfect size for me. It still fit somewhat large I thought, but since it is a shift dress it was meant to be this way. It is still on sale and you can get it for under $72 right now.
As for the necklace, I got this through a personal Chloe + Isabel jewelry boutique. Annie’s Boutique, during the month of September, is donating a portion of her proceeds from specific jewelry to the Foundation for Women’s Cancer. I was more than happy to purchase what I thought was a gorgeous necklace and at the same time help towards a good cause. Cancer is such a shattering diagnosis, and I have seen personally a good friend of mine die from ovarian cancer in her 20’s. Numerous other family and friends have also died from cancer, as I am sure is true in almost every family. My own father, was recently diagnosed with an incurable cancer as well. I hope that in my lifetime, cures can be found for what is a devastating disease. As for the Chloe + Isabel Jewelry, I cannot say enough good things about it. Their jewelry is high quality, hypoallergenic and lead free. Annie sells so many gorgeous necklaces and other jewelry, that you really should check out her shop. Most of all, you’ll be helping out a good cause at the same time.
Thanks for looking!

It always feels so much better to purchase items from a company that you know is doing some good. I agree with you, I honestly don’t think there is anyone out there who hasn’t been touched by cancer before. It doesn’t hurt that it’s stunning, too!
