Pretty in Pink + Taupe

Ann Taylor boiled wool dress c/o (hemmed), AT faux pearl necklace and signature tote Bobeau drape cardigan in "mink," Sole Society heels (sizes mostly gone)
This dress from Ann Taylor looks very simple in the stock photo, but I fell in love after trying it on. As several reviewers mentioned, the shift design feels timeless and Jackie-O inspired, and oh how I enjoy the pockets! If you aren't familiar with boiled wool, it has a nubbly texture that helps winterize this piece. I can see it being worn layered both under and over tops like turtlenecks and thin sweaters well into our chilly springtime.

Off the rack, this dress in size 00 petite hit at a demure length right at the top of my knees. I had 3 inches hemmed off for a shorter style, but asked my tailor to leave most of the extra material in case I wanted to let it back down in the future. The boiled wool-blend material is stretchy to grace over curves and is fully lined with an invisible back zip.

And the Bobeau drape fleece cardigan is back! I'm wearing xxsp in the mink color and am happy it's still in such decent shape given how much I wore/abused it last year.
