I love Mary HK Choi. On Ann Taylor (in which she finds she agrees with Cintra Wilson):
They still do some annoyingly LADYDRAG things like unnecessarily shirred collars on otherwise straightforward trenches but they don’t try to make cashmiracles from acrylic. In fact, they don’t DO anything particularly magical except make the trunks on their sweaters longer and make hardware on bags matte and substantial. But the really nice thing about Ann Taylor right now is that while the knits and the bouclé cropped jackets with 3/4 sleeves and lowered arm’s eyes and grosgrainribbondetailblablabla are all HELLA cute if you work in an office where dudes exclusively use Molton Brown toiletries, there are things for the more, ahem, housepants-wearing amongst us.
