Fitting Room: Ann Taylor Factory, Bebe, Theory & Banana Republic

Here are some items I found this past weekend and figured I would share in case anyone wants to hunt them down. I was fortunate enough to have a three day weekend which was so nice.  I went to a flea market on Sunday which I'll share pics later this week.  I wasn't planning on going to the outlets yesterday but we were around the area and I convinced Hubby to just "pop in". I found this adorable blush eyelash lace top from Ann Taylor factory.

(style #285714) was $49.99 with the 50% promo = $24.99
I was hoping for a better of a price since it was a Holiday but the fit was so nice and comes with a matching blush shell.  I didn't hesitate for a second.  If you are looking to track this down, the SA (sales associate) should be able to look in the system and it will show which stores carry this in your size. If you have an Ann Taylor credit card, you should be able to have this shipped to you. There is a discrepancy in whether or not sale items qualify for free shipping with an AT card - I have experienced it both ways but usually fight it. I think it all depends on who you get on the phone. If you don't have an AT card, I believe shipping is $7.95?  I adore the blush color and am wearing it to work today.

I went in the Theory outlet not expecting to find anything - haven't bought anything in a very long time.  They were running 25% off sale items and I found this navy (looks black in the photo) pinstripe sheath dress in 00. It looked tiny on the hanger so I decided to try it on. It fits very nicely. The armholes are small and length is perfect for someone my size (5' tall).  I was happy to see the dress was marked down from $315 to $89 and then an extra 25% off = $66.75. That's a pretty amazing deal for a Theory dress that is made out of 100% virgin Italian wool.

Bebe eyelet dress - size XXS
This was a big hit with hubby and on sale for $24.99 after the 50% promotion in-store. I haven't bought anything from bebe in a very long time but got lured in with the big red 50% off sale sign.  I love the mustard color and it'll be a great date night/vacation dress. I could even throw a blazer over it to tone it down. It's very form fitting and hubby gave me the thumbs up:)

J.Crew sailor tee in engineered stripe - size XXS
I love this tee so much! I scored it for $12.50 after the 50% off in store. Size XXS is still available online but they are only offering 40% off of $34.99. It's a heavier cotton and has a slim fit. Usually these type of shirts do not work on me and are very boxy but with the slim cut, it works.  The sleeves are supposed to be a 3/4 sleeve but are full length on me. I can see this paired with white shorts for Summer.  
I also got this color block top in XXS for $9.99 - the navy color is on sale in-store for only $7 but isn't as cute. It has an exposed zipper in the back and is not as slim as the sailor tee but I love the colors and will be cute layered.

Banana Republic tortoise belt in black and brown
I probably don't need anymore belts but the XS fits nicely at my natural waist without having to punch extra holes. I adore the tortoise buckle and got it for $7.78 on final sale.

H&M l.o.g.g navy polka dot shirt - $24.95
I don't need any more polka dot shirts but this caught my eye and is very similar to the Banana Republic version.  Did you score anything this past weekend?
