Scared Monkeys Discussion Forum

is having a huge sale...75% off.....I got some really cute summer tops for 9.98....usually 39.99. Some are kinda sheer and need cammies...but they are really nice and summery. I got 5 new ones!!  Love those gift cards!!  I prefer to pick them myself as I am 'older' and am very conscious of my upper arms.....even though I am small, I still want to dress appropriately for my age ::MonkeyWink::

I am not familiar with Ann Taylor, but it sounds like a great bargain. 
Thank you for dressing with your age.  I see so many women that do not, some that look as if they raided their 14 y/o daughters clothset's..seriously saw a 40ish woman the other day wearing a Hannah Montana hot pink top and an overly tight plaid mini..I was like "OMG!!"

Thank you my dear...I too hate seeing women who dress way to young for their age....that is really a problem for petite fashions.....many are too cutsey....

Ann Taylor has absolutely gorgeous classic clothes.

I just posted something in the other thread about that....Dolce, when you have time, could you please discuss "age appropriate dressing"?  I agree Sunny...it's hard to dress stylishly when you are petite.  I purchase almost all of my clothes online now.    I find clothes at Neiman Marcus, Talbot's and Piperlime.com is a great place for shoes.  I wear a size 5.5 and they have the best selection I have found anywhere.
I think it's important to look age appropriate and still look relevant.  Does that make sense?

Alright, I went online to Ann Taylor and gave it a looksy...I like their selection.  It is a little older for me, but I do think that they have a nice selection.

Numbers I will start a thread for how to dress for your individual age.  I will echo what Sunny says though, dress in what you feel most comfy.  (Just dont let it be a Hannah Montana shirt...NO MATTER WHAT YOUR AGE!!  LOL)

Although petitie I am busty...another problem. ::MonkeyNoNo::.....I search out the petite departments....Nordstom's has a good one.....Also Saks and Neiman's.....I found a great little outfit at Black and White.....but one does have to search. Your statement makes perfect sense to me. I am OK with shoes 6.5.  I will check out Piperlime.com, although I have not had good luck buying anything without trying it on. I wish there was standard sizing, but I find designers have their own ideas a sizes. Nordstroms carry JAG jeans in petite sizes.....great jeans for me.

My favorite designers are now :  Marni, Theory, and Vera Wang.  For lingerie, it is D and G.  For makeup, it is Chanel. 

Vera Wang has some really awesome designs, she is one of my all around favorites.  She has several lines that fit all types of budgets for those of you who are cost efficient.  I know that she has an "every day" line at Kohls and Macys.  Now I am not familiar with Kohls so I do not promote it, maybe any other monkey's who are familiar with the store can give some insight on it.  She can also be found at Nieman Marcus and Saks, as well as on the web of course!  :)

Her wedding gowns are stunning to say the very least.

You can NEVER go wrong with Chanel.  LOVE LOVE LOVE Coco Chanel.  For anyone interested the two books "Chanel and Her World" and "Chanel: Her Style and Her Life" are very good books. 

I stop buying there after the last time i got clothes for work and all of them got bad after the first wash...
