How To Wear Bright Clothing From Ann Taylor
Where are all my color-loving gurls??? I hope a bunch of your hands are up in the air because I’ve got a couple of outfits that are going to make you giddy with glee! There will be no need for rose-colored glasses today, but you might want to don some shades because it is going to get bright in here. Here is how to wear bright clothing from Ann Taylor.
Bright Clothing From Ann Taylor – Matcha
Maybe it is because I was born a blonde (I have a little help staying that way), but I’ve always been drawn to pink. I like all shades of pink, but hot pink/fuschia/Barbie pink is my favorite.
The Matcha Tropical Jacquard Sweater Shell is so pretty and is of amazing quality. It is a heavy-knit sweater, but that doesn’t mean that it is hot. It has a lot of give to the material, so you don’t feel constricted. The medium fits me fine, so I would think it runs true to size.
I noticed that the sweater is almost sold out, which is irritating to you and me both. This link will take you to all the bright pink and green items at Ann Taylor, including a swing dress in this same print.
The good news is that the Tie Waist Pleated Wide Leg Ankle Pants are available in almost every size. I know that wearing these neon pink pants can be daunting for many people, but you can tame the brightness down by pairing them with a different top. I think navy would look fabulous with these pants, and the look wouldn’t be as bright.
I’m not sure if I brightened the outfit up more or toned it down a tiny bit. The look of the outfit completely changed, and I honestly like both outfits!
Adding the Matcha Linen Blend Cropped Ann Cardigan to the outfit had a couple of benefits. It covered my upper arms, which are a problem area for many women, and it made the outfit look complete and polished. I like wearing cardigans because it gives me the look of a thinner waist. I don’t have curves (thanks to scoliosis), and a cardigan tricks the eye by drawing it inward and creating the illusion of a thinner waist.
I’m wearing a large cardigan, and I think it runs a little small. If you are between sizes, be sure to size up. I’m usually between a medium and a large, and I think I would prefer an XL so that it would be more oversized.
If you are an email subscriber, you will recognize these Straw Covered Buckle Slingback Flats. I have a pair of hot pink pumps, but I didn’t have any flats, so I ordered these in to try. I LOVE them!!! They fit perfectly and are comfortable to walk in. You’ll probably see me wear these a lot this summer, they are too cute to hide away in the closet.

I separated the Tropical Shorts Set and wore the button-up shirt with the white High Rise Wide Leg Jeans. This is how to wear bright clothing in summer for a fun and youthful vibe. The wide-leg jeans are the perfect width. I’m wearing a .5 in them, but if I gain an ounce more weight, I would need a size 1. If you are between sizes, I suggest sizing up.
The Tropical Shorts Set is super cute when worn together but can easily be worn separately. The button-up top is slightly cropped, but it isn’t so short that it shows your belly.
Here is the length of the top in the back. The outfit feels like satin and is machine washable. I switched out the slingbacks for a comfortable pair of sandals. Whenever I think I’ll be on my feet for a bit, I reach for these NAOT Dorith Sandals with Cork Footbed and Arch Support. I sized up one size, and they fit great.

love all your outfits! I love bright clothing. live in the North so don’t get the opportunity to wear it during the winter months so when Spring and Summer come you don’t see me in black too often.
I love the tropical pink print shirt with the white jeans. Fantastic outfit! and it looks great on you. Plus I immediately clicked on those flats, must have. Alas, not in my size. So maybe I should buy the short set? Happiness. And thank you for the ideas.
I love the green and pink together! Thank you for some good choices!!
Blessings,
love the shoes
I like bright pink and green blended with the white pants or shorts!
Good morning sunshine!
Sometimes being brave on the outside gives us our inner-power on the inside. At our age, we can lose our bravery and self confidence sometimes. By wearing those “dare to wear” colors and items, we can try to regain ourselves! Thank you for giving us those self esteem building tools back. Let’s all rise above together! We are strong! We are invincible! We are WOMEN! ♥️
The tropical pink pants and top are gorgeous
I really should add more bright colors to my wardrobe. You look great in bright pink.
Nothing for me; I do not wear Petite, unless is is an XLP. I wear from an XL to 2XL, DEPENDING ON MEASUREMENTS FOR GARMENT.SIZES. 6-29-2024. Mgb.
I think you look fabulous in all of these outfits! I love the bright colors, especially the pink. I am seriously thinking about ordering the short set, especially since it’s on sale. I hope that you have had a great day!
They are having a great sale right now!
I’m really loving the color pink..
I’m loving all of the different colors.
especially the pink ..
Love all the bright colors!
Love the bright green cardigan! Great colorful choices.
I thought it was sooo pretty.
Love your blog‼️
Love the white slacks and the bright tops!
Bright colors look great on you!
Thank you for 2 Cor. 4:18.
Needed to read that passage today.
I love this post today because I also love bright colors! I have totally white hair – I think it’s been this color under my color since I was 30 so I finally indulged and wear it in a cute short cut. Bright colors go great with my hair. A big shout out to Naot sandals. I LOVE them! I have 5 different pairs!
Have you tried Home Depot for a rug? They have a pretty good selection.
No, I went to a big rug outlet here in town.
I am all about color so love the pink outfit! I like the other pairings also and would wear way one of them in a hot minute!
I love the pink shoes and am going to try wearing more bright colors- you always look so pretty in bright outfits!
Cute outfits makes me want to pack a suitcase for Hawaii
Just love all the hot pink!
Beautiful rug! Love that your mini picked out a 500.00 rug! 😂
You found some great outfits to go with you pink shoes! I do love the color pink in tops and sweater’s!
The rug was just solid pink, nothing fancy. Lol!
Isn’t that ridiculous! She has great taste though! lol!
Happy she loves her comforter.
I have the lime green cardigan but I can’t find the sleeveless one in my size anyway.
I’ll keep looking for something similar.
Barb
These are beautiful colorful pieces!
Love the hot pink!
Yes to color! It’s so up lifting. 🥰
I like the white pants outfit and the shorts set.
Pink is the best color for me to wear year round, especially near my face. Needless to say, I love these outfits. I am seriously considering ordering the shorts set even though elastic waist bottoms draw attention to my pudgy belly and thick midsection. I need to check the return policy first.
I love the pink and green.
Great colors today! Pink is my favorite and adding the spring green is awesome. Have a wonderful weekend!
Now you’re talking my language. Love, love, love lots of colors!
Love love love the spring green with hot pink!!! Just screams Spring and Summer!!! Absolutely adorable shoes!!
Give me allllll the pink!!
LOVE all the color! Looks great on you.
Love this exact shade of pink too so really enjoyed today’s post. And now we know why you were looking all over for those shoes yesterday! They’re super cute.
Wow! That pink is a great color! I love those slingbacks. I may have to get a pair.
Thanks for styling my wide-leg white pants! 😉
ooh such pretty pink outfits
The pink shorts set is so cute and I like the versatility of separating to wear different ways. I would much rather shop for clothes instead of rugs!
It is a lot more fun.
I’m with you, Tania – I LOVE bright pink! You look fabulous in those bright summer outfits. I also love the shapes and silhouettes – it helps me keep up with current fashion trends, whether I get the exact items you style or something similar. Thanks for sharing a scripture verse every day. I look forward to those and they are inspiring every time.
Pink is definitely your color!
LOVE the bright colors. I don’t know if I am brave enough to tuck the top into the tie waist pants, I don’t like to draw attention to my middle. No matter how much I weigh…or don’t weigh, I can’t seem to get my waistline back down to what I think is suitable.
Thanks for showing us all the beauties from Ann Taylor. My GF was visiting this week and she wanted to go into their store. Neither one of us have shopped there in many years… But boy were we pleasantly surprised ….some beautiful, beautiful clothes, and of course, we walked out with an armful.
Love how you continually mix it up for us with different styles and places to shop.. something for everyone!
Loving these bright colors. AND those PINK SHOES!!!
I really liked the shorts set. it’s nice to see brighter colors. especially for summer.
Love, love the colors!
I’m crazy about pink too, my hair is white and blonde,so it goes good with all shades of pink and yes it does look good with our complexions! Brightens for sure. My lipstick is a pinky berry color always.
I love bright colors too blue and purple maroon etc.
I’m drawn to pink lipsticks too, and berry shades are my favorite.
You do bright so well! Love the options you gave us!
Pink is my favorite color too! Those pink shoes look great on you💕
You’re posts are awesome!! love these bright styles but I really really love the verses at the end.
Those pink slingback flats are gorgeous!
