This is it…the end of the James Perse holiday sale (it ends Sunday). I finally decided to order the funnel neck sweater I mentioned in my last post and it’s sold out in my size in the gray. Who ordered it?? There are still lots of great items on sale, I recommend the slub crew neck tee highly (I have the pinot color and white), the Yosemite fleece pullover (wearing right now) and the Yosemite stripe jogger pants (also wearing!). If you like a casual pencil skirt for spring/summer, the tulip back skirt is really cute and incredibly flattering on.
Oh, and now you’ll get free 2-day shipping on orders over $250 with code GRECHENEXP15 (valid until 12/20). You can use this on “new” items and gift boxes also if you have your eye on anything – free shipping only comes around during sales. I keep going back and forth on ordering this hoodie dress with some birthday money. Right now, I’m more “forth” and 99% sure I’m going to order it, it seems like one of those iconic pieces I’ll wear for years…
Do you have your eye on anything? What have you ordered?
I ordered the Yosemite Fleece pullover in deep and it’s perfection! Lightweight yet warm, not too slouchy but just perfect over the Yosemite leggings which were also a first time purchase – love! Thanks as always for enabling my JP purchases 🙂
you’re welcome 🙂
i was a little unsure of the pullover when i opened it, but i’ve pretty much worn it every day at home since i got it. it’s so much warmer than it looks. and it’s a great to-and-from pure barre cover up.
i LOVE the yosemite leggings i got a few sales ago, they’re consistently one of my favorite pairs of workout leggings lately. so glad you like them!!
I’m SOOOO tempted to buy something from the JP sale but have gone over budget already with shopping! Grechen, what do you think of that Cationic Dyed Henley Dress? the price is $59 (from its original $225 price), and would be perfect over leggings. Hmmm…
honestly i have no experience with the cationic dyed pieces, i don’t think i’ve ever seen any in person, and certainly haven’t tried anything on. i like it in theory, but it doesn’t make me very excited, you know? like it’s not something very “special” or that only JP does well, if that makes sense.
it IS a good price, but if you don’t really love it, and you’re doing what i do very often with sales and only buying something because it’s on sale, and seems too good to pass up, then i would pass it up 😉
if you really love it and think you’d wear it a lot, then definitely get it…!
How is this pullover in terms of size?
i took my “normal” size 2 and it fits for sure. it fits perfectly, but in the beginning i sort of wished i’d sized up so it was a bit longer and with a little more room. as i wear it it “gives” a little and i’ve become very happy with the size as-is. it’s not a tunic length on me, but it does cover my ass sort of LOL
thank you, Grechen. I found out over time that i don’t have a “normal” size with JP, items fit differently, depending on the fit i’m looking for, their sizing for a particular item, etc.
Thanks Grechen, I like your perspective on this! I will sit on it for a couple days before pushing the purchase button. I do tend to buy just b/c things are “on sale” vs. truly loving it…something I need to work on! 🙂
Well, Grechen, I bit the bullet and literally, waited to the last second of the JP sale and decided on buying a few pieces! I went with the cationic dyed dress, the long tee-shirt dress (in the silvery-white), and only b/c you made this one sound so darn cozy and inviting, the Yosemite fleece pullover!
oh, you will love that fleece hoody!! i live in it lately…
let me know what you think about everything!
Thanks to your shipping code, Grechen, my JP package arrived today and I’m really pleased with everything! The t-shirt dress material is like nothing i’ve felt before; it’s sort of a heavier weight but light at the same time. I know that makes no sense but you have to feel it to understand! And the jersey henley dress is pretty amazing–hits right below the knee so i can wear with or without leggings or pants. I’m at this moment wearing the Yosemite fleece top in color “deep”–LOVE it…perfect for our rather chilly and rainy So Cal day! Thank you Grechen for your always spot-on recs!
i’m wearing my yosemite fleece (again) too…!!
so happy you like everything!
