First, today's outfit was purely about comfort, laziness, and warmth LOL.
Top: LOFT Multi Tier Shell, XSP
Cardigan: Banana Republic Oversized Knit Cardi, XS
Jeans: Boot Cuts from The Limited (they look a little weird to me now after wearing skinnies so much lately, but they are comfy!)
Necklace: DIY, see tutorial here
Blue Tweed One Button Jacket, XS, $36 after discounts
I liked the cropped cut of this and the fit was pretty good. I would say this is a true-to-size XS instead of one that was more vanity-sized.
Verdict: Buy
What it looks like buttoned (though I think I prefer it unbuttoned)
Princess Sleeve Tie Jacket, XS, $36 after discounts
Like the tweed jacket, this fit pretty well but I wasn't in love with the puffy sleeves.
Verdict: No
Other items purchased but not photographed in the fitting room:
Flower Chain Belt, $8 after discounts
Covered Buckle Skinny Belt, Animal Print (think this color might be OOS online) $12 after discounts
the blue tweed jacket looks so good on you!! and what a steal for $36!!
ReplyDeleteas for Black Friday, i'm considering doing the midnight outlet madness this year. i did it a couple years ago and it was so much fun and absolutely crazy. the deals were also ridiculous. :)

I don't buy xmas presents, so I seldom shop on Black Friday. Usually I do shop online to take advantage of any sales, but it is only stuff for me. In the past it has always been cycling stuff, but now that I am spending more money on fashiony things I probably will venture out and buy something.
ReplyDeleteI really like the tweed jacket on you. The fabric looks kind of shiny, which is great for the holidays. The flower chain belt is SO cute! It's something I definitely would wear. Great haul!
ReplyDeleteI've never participated in Black Friday before. The crowds turn me off and there just isn't anything I want badly enough. I might go in the afternoon or over the weekend though to see if there's anything left haha. But I am looking forward to it because I get to sleep in =D
I love the ruffle top and the flower chain belt you've chose!
ReplyDeletei love your purchases!! cute tweed jacket and i love the belt. thanks for sharing...i'm going to check out their website. unfortunately we do no have a limited in sf!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the ladies above- the tweed jacket is so adorable! And a great deal! I like the belt too!
ReplyDeleteDarn it- I was at the mall and didn't stop in! Shoot! :)
Great finds! I saw those belts which a few petites have posted about (since they are one size fits all) and I've been curious since! I know the limited sizes don't go down as low as Ann Taylor or LOFT so I browsed, but didn't pull the trigger during the 40% off sale.
ReplyDeleteYes I surely participate in black friday...are you near an outlet? Those sales start at midnight and they're the best!
Kileen - Thanks! I LOVE outlet malls but I've always been terrified of the crowds. Maybe one day, I'll try it :)
ReplyDeleteLittlenashua - I do quite a bit of Black Friday online shopping, but it's primarily for electronics (got a GPS and camera last year). You should check out the malls this year. I think last year Banana Republic had an extra 50% off everything up until noon.
Cee - Thank you! I went to Best Buy ONE time super early in the morning and swore I'd never do that again. The ppl are nuts! I avoid all the electronics-type stores but the malls are a tolerable madness :)
JenLovesBal - Thanks Jen! I just need to figure out what to wear the flower chain belt with.
Ping - I bet you have much better stores in SF :) Definitely check it out online, but I do think XS might be pretty loose on you. The belts are probably a safe bet though.
Really Petite - They had some cute dresses on sale that I think would look really good on you! I tried a few but I was not endowed enough to fill out the top LOL.
PAG - I do recommend the belts. I was afraid the adjustability would get loose with time (purchased one last spring) but it still holds really well.
I go to the outlet in the afternoons usually to avoid the crowds but it sounds like I need to try shopping at midnight at least once :)
I got the tweed blazer (and the matching skirt) during their 40% off on halloween. I am so excited to try them. :) They look great on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elle - I just saw that you had a new post about it - going to check it out now! :)
ReplyDeleteI actuallly thought the 2nd blazer looks pretty good on you... too bad the puffy sleeves had to ruin it :) I always get the Limited confused with Express, they both seem to offer similar kinds of clothes (and neither really fit me that well). I do remember buying things from Limited Too though *hangs head in shame* lol
ReplyDeletePXXS - Limited and Express definitely have many similar items! I remember a time when I could fit into Limited Too - darn my slowed metabolism LOL. I liked the 2nd blazer too but the puffy sleeves seemed a little prissy for me.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is some real good stuff! I am definitely going to recommend this page to my sister! Thank you so much!
