J Crew has 30% off sale items right now. (It’s not a lot but ebates has it at 1.5% cashback,
so don’t forget to use it to get a little bit extra savings.) On
Friday I went shopping and tried on a few items including the Honeycomb Cable Sweater. It was $39.99 in stores and 40% off. Online it’s $54.99 and 30% off so not as good as a deal but still a great price. See the sweater on Jean in a few different colors and her review as well.
I’m
wearing the XXS and is a good overall fit as I like that it’s slim
fitting on the sides (my apple shape does not fare well with chunky
knits + baggy sides.) and the sleeves are not too long. The length is a
little on the short side for me as I have a short torso and I tend to like my sweaters a little
farther below my waistband to elongate it. I passed on this but regretted it the next
day (as some of you know from my facebook). Although looking at the pictures now, I do think I look a little chunky in it so probably a good thing that I passed. One plus was the color and it looked fantastic with my Luxe Chain Crystal Necklace!

Two other things I tried on were this Paisley Blouse (not online but same print in a button up) which was $79.99 and 40% off (Style # 60333 if you want to call stores to see if they have it.) and the Glimmer Long Sleeve Tee that you’ve seen on me in bronze. Now marked down to $59.99 and 40% off in stores and 30% off online.
I’m
wearing a size 0 in the Paisley Blouse. Fit is a little loose and I
could have sized down if they had it but still doable and I fell in love
with the print so I took this one home with me. In the Glimmer Tee I’m
wearing an XS here which I decided was just a bit too baggy on me and
since I already own the bronze in an XXS which fits a lot better, I
passed on this one as well.

My phone case is this Kate Spade Resin Case
that my brother and his girlfriend got me for Christmas. So cute
right? I have quite the collection of iPhone cases now, I love changing
them up!

Anyone else pick up great stuff at the J Crew sale? I’m actually on the hunt for the silk Lucinda blouse in stores, I hope I can find it!
Also, my sister and I went a little
crazy marking stuff down on our jewelry line. Check it out now before
we change our minds about the prices 🙂

January 9, 2012 at 3:32 pmI'm wearing that exact J. Crew paisley blouse today! I'll post about it on my blog later. I bought it before the holidays on super sale in stores. They only had ONE left that was a bigger size than I would normally wear, but I am able to style it in a way that I don't mind the looser fit. It's a great blouse, especially for an office dress code. It actually looks really good with a big statement necklace too – surprising for such a busy print.
Thanks for sharing!

January 9, 2012 at 3:51 pmI thought of you as I shopped J Crew this weekend…I FINALLY got the bronze glimmer tee that I had been stalking since I saw you in it! Online was out of my size for the longest but at the store, it was the ONLY one there! I think it was fate 🙂 I also saw this sweater in other colors & I loved it, but it's too darn hot here in Florida to wear it, so I passed 🙁

January 9, 2012 at 3:55 pmLOVE that sparkly glitter top – and that yellow one suits you well.

January 9, 2012 at 3:56 pmI was just talking about yellow on my blog! The yellow looks great on you but I feel you with the longer length. I don't know why the smaller sizes are shorter. Sometimes I have to size up just for that reason. The paisley is my favorite, and as always, your jewelry is great.

January 9, 2012 at 5:32 pmI've gravitated towards some of the same things as you at J. Crew!! I totally fell in love with that paisley blouse when it came out, but didn't bite on it for some crazy reason. It popped back on the website in a size that is slightly bigger than I go for, but I didn't want to regret not getting it, plus there was 30% off sale items that day.
I tried on and adored the bronze glimmer top and kick myself for not adding that pretty number to my closet. 🙁

January 9, 2012 at 8:29 pmshut up – you DO NOT look chunky! that said, i totally understand how you feel – it's hard to not overwhelm small frames and heavy knits totally do that!
cute finds – i really love the paisley blouse!

January 10, 2012 at 12:18 am@Leigh Yes! that's like me too, only one left so I had to get it! I'll pop on over to your blog to see it on you! <3

January 10, 2012 at 12:19 am@Erica oh good, I'm glad you got it! It's such a fun shirt!
tiffanystylish
January 10, 2012 at 12:20 am@MJ Yeah, I wish they wouldn't shrink the length either. I much prefer longer length tops. The XS was a little longer but much too chunky on me, I looked like a marshmallow man! haha!
tiffanystylish
January 10, 2012 at 12:21 am@fshnonmymind haha, looks like all of us that got the paisley blouse had to get it a size bigger! But still so worth it, I love the print!
tiffanystylish
January 10, 2012 at 12:22 am@Michelle hahaha, I knew you'd know what I mean 🙂 small frames and chunky knits are definitely not the most flattering!
tiffanystylish
January 10, 2012 at 12:22 am@Pauline yes! I'd love to go shopping with you too! Maybe someday if we are ever in the same city? 🙂

January 10, 2012 at 2:46 amThat paisley blouse looks fantastic on you Tiff! I checked the sol called sale last week at JC, but SCP is always well foraged through and the sale section was minimal.
