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.

    So so so cute! I love the heart and bow graphics they've come out with lately - very girly, but adorable. It has been soooo cold the past week! I've been dressing in layers like crazy. BTW love your blog layout update, very nice :)

      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!

    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.

      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 :)
