If you want to save big during your first shopping spree of the year, you're in luck! The Ann Taylor Semi-Annual Sale is in full swing, and just as I expected, the deals are incredible. Not only can you scoop up cute tops for only $25, but you can also score an *additional* 50 percent off sale styles—meaning this brushed sweater jacket can be yours for just $50. And there are plenty more trendy-yet-timeless pieces where that came from.

From a belted midi dress ($159; $57) in a trendy burgundy color to a varsity quilted jacket ($248; $198) that looks just as chic as any Barbour coat, trust me when I say you don't want to miss these deals hiding at Ann Taylor. But you better hustle—the sale only runs through Jan. 10. To help give you a head start, I scoured the sale and picked out seven of the best styles to add straight to your cart.

This fit-to-flare number, which you can wear from brunch with the girls to a Valentine's Day dinner date, is as flattering as they come. I credit the flared hem and wraparound tie waist that creates an effortlessly elegant silhouette. And not only does it look good—thanks to its stretchy polyester and spandex fabric, comfort is practically guaranteed. Since you can pair it with boots, heels or sneakers, this number is guaranteed to be one you reach for often.

You can never have too many cardigans, IMO, especially when they look as chic as this one. With a beautiful brushed knit texture and shiny gold buttons, this little layer is sure to elevate any outfit. But you don't have to just take my word for it. One reviewer says, "It is formal enough for the office and can also be worn with jeans for a more casual look." And despite its fuzzy fabric, this sweater jacket can simply be tossed in the washing machine for easy cleaning.

Flowy satin pants work wonders to upgrade even the most casual of fits, all while keeping you comfy all day long. And let me just say, I rarely find them priced this low, so if I were you, I wouldn't take too long to complete my order. Featuring an elasticized waist, vertical on-seam pockets and relaxed wide legs, this high-rise style may feel like your favorite pair of PJs, but it looks much more polished.

Meet your new going-out staple. One buyer says this asymmetrical velvet top is "sexy, comfortable and flattering," and I definitely don't doubt it. Whether you wear it on or off the shoulder, with jeans or a silk skirt, it's guaranteed to turn heads. But how's the fit? According to Ann Taylor, it's relaxed yet refined thanks to its shirred back band and lined interior, so you can't go wrong.

Searching for a quality jacket to take you into springtime? Look no further than this quilted beauty that's the perfect transitional weight. Accented with a ribbed standing collar, shirttail hem and front patch pockets, it's safe to say it checks all the boxes when it comes to both fashion and function—and while it's certainly not as hefty and bulky as other padded jackets, one buyer confirms that it still keeps them plenty toasty. 

Designed with new pockets that supposedly smooth, flatter and hold your shape, these jeans are likely to become your favorites for the foreseeable future. The straight-leg cut will never go out of style, for one thing, while the cotton, Lyocell and elastane stretch denim should keep you feeling comfy yet supported on the daily—good news, considering that's how often you're gonna want to wear 'em.

This classic crewneck sweater—available in standard and petite sizes—is just the piece you need to get through winter. It's made from a cozy acrylic, polyester and nylon blend and has dropped shoulders and a slightly relaxed shape, so you shouldn't feel restricted or too warm while wearing it. To top it off, the ribbed cuffs and neckline add an extra pop of visual interest while helping to maintain its shape.
