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.

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.
