Ann Taylor Chiffon Front Ruffle and Petal Shells- XXSP (All 9 of them)

***I have an extra mud bath and periwinkle chiffon front ruffle shell in XXSP avail if anyone is interested. Please email me directly:)*** SOLD

There's been a void in my life and that void was to have nice, fitted shells to add to my wardrobe. I am really particular about shells and have realized that they are super hard to find. I was elated when Jean found them at the AT Factory. I didn't even hesitate and ordered all the colors. They finally arrived and now my void has been fulfilled! :) I will start with my favorite one which is the petal front shell in pink:

Blazer: Theory Gratian Chateau Blazer- size 00
Skirt: Theory Lindra Chateau Skirt- size 00 
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Simple 100- size 35/5 (buy here)
Tights: H&M Divided - size XS
Necklace: Pearls (similar here)

This is like the perfect outfit for me. It's exactly what I would prefer to wear to work everyday. Just classic and feminine.

Is this not the prettiest top ever? I bought the purple one last year from the Ann Taylor regular stores but the XSP was way too big and loose on me so I endedup returning it.  I found that the petal shells fit a bit better than the ruffle front shell when tucked in. Not sure if it's just me but that's what I noticed when trying them all on.

I also go the white petal shell which is gorgeous too. These will be definitely a staple in my wardrobe.

The front ruffle shell came in 7 different colors(black, mud bath, seahorse/teal, soft pewter, periwinkle, royal/navy blue, dusty mauve). I am not 100% sure on the exact names but I tried my best to get it from the SA over the phone. Here is what they look like on me.
