J Crew Heartbreaker Sweater & Pixie Pant

I have been loving my J. Crew heartbreaker sweater and pixie pant combination. Wore this to lunch with a friend today. It is freezing cold. Haven't had this extreme cold weather for a while. It is -20 C(think it's 0 F) without the windchill even in the afternoon. 


Heartbreaker sweater in size S ( buy here)
Pixie Pant in size 4 (buy here)

When I first saw this sweater on the website, it didn't catch my eye at first. I love anything heart-patterned and I'm glad I didn't have my eye set on it until I saw it in store on sale after Christmas. I got this for 40% off sale price in store and it was only $48 which made it an awesome deal. 

I know I said I love the factory ponte pant(factory version of the pixie pant) but after I got the Pixie pant, it is really much better than the factory version. The fabric is still very stretchable but the retail version is a much better quality. I have had the factory ponte pant for over 2 months now and have washer it many many times. The fabric is starting to stretch a bit more than I want to especially in the knee area. I only have the pixie pant for a little over 3 weeks now. Washed it a few times and the "excess fabric problem around the knee area" hasn't occurred yet. The only thing I like more about the factory version is the side zipper. Hopefully the pixie pant will have a side zipper instead of a back zipper in the near future.




J. Crew is having a promo of 30% off all sale items and free shipping over $100 on all online orders. I saw the sweater this morning but it is currently sold out. But watch for early morning popbacks if you are interested.

    1. I'm trying so hard not to buy the bow sweaters on sale. It is so cold today, even with the sun, the windchill is not fun. Layers and layers. I feel like a robot with so many layers on :( Dress warm this week!

  4. This is an adorable outfit. I want to buy pixie pants because they seem so versatile and I think I could even get away with wearing them at the office. Great post! I am now following! I found you through the Beauty Obsessed Blog hop.

    1. I am loving my pixie pants. I never understand why the hype is all about. But I practically wear these every day(oh well, I have another factory version) since I got them. They are the most comfortable pants I ever own. Give it a try, you will love them.

      Thanks for dropping by, heading over to your blog next :)
