J Brand is having a “private” sale on it’s new ready-to-wear line, and it’s a pretty good one. I fell hard for the look on the far right the second I saw it, but I thought the prices on the line were just a tad inflated. Now that they’ve marked the line down 40-60%, the prices are about where they should have been in the first place…
Lena sweatshirt dress – $90
Aimee vest – $119
Annie Blazer – $219
Bette pullover – $86 + Ellie skirt – $180
And it looks like I found another great cropped sweater in the Bette…

I’ve had this dress for a while (got it with a Refinery29 Reserve several months ago – speaking of Refinery29 Reserves, did you guys get the Rachel Pally one that started yesterday?? I did!!! Can’t resist cheap(er) Rachel Pally…) but don’t wear it very often because it’s VERY snug in the hips. When I bought it, I was about 10 pounds smaller; thank goodness for long cardigans 
Speaking of long cardigans, and weight, I’m 4 classes in to the living hell that is pure barre and I love it! It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done (that includes Bikram) and I have NEVER felt burn like that before, but that means it’s working, right? I’m also back to cutting out all the “white stuff” from my diet, which is what I did last year to lose 30 pounds, so at least I’m back on the right track. I feel good anyway, and that’s the most important thing.
Living hell aside, if you’re looking for a new workout, try pure barre – it’s pretty amazing. But sooooooo hard. You really feel like you did something when you’re finished though, and once I get to where I can complete all the repetitions for all the movements, I’ll REALLY feel like I’ve accomplished something

WEARING:
Loup Bustier maxi dress – purchased with a Refinery29 Reserve deal
Demy Lee sweater – also purchased with a Refinery29 Reserve deal
Prada sport sandals (secondhand)
Jas M.B. Bag
Locket from Catbird
I’m always on the lookout for cropped jackets, sweaters or tops to go over dresses & wear with skirts. Ask Sharon. The problem is that NOTHING is ever cropped on me, even if the style is cropped, because I have such a short waist. So, I’m always disappointed. BUT Imagine my surprise & delight when this Demy Lee sweater arrived from Eaton Trading Company (the one that I got with the Refinery29 Reserve last week) and it is PERFECT.
Now, I have a dilemma. bird has the same sweater available in nude, and I did purchase the Refinery29 Reserve deal for them recently. Do I buy a second sweater using that reserve? #firstworldproblems
I always want to buy multiples of things I love, but never seem to. In this case, I may just do it…the sweater is just too good. And since it never gets REALLY cold here, I could wear it nearly all year around. Sold!
Do you buy multiples of things you love?
Have a great weekend!!!
