First I had this for breakfast.

Then I went to JCP for some trying ons, and not much buying.
red/black striped blouse (??? - I think it's Bisou Bisou, but I can't find it online), size XL
Joe Fresh™ Cropped Plaid Pants, $33.99 on sale, size 14
This look was cute, but I don't like the fit of the pants. They aren't high enough in the rise. I've decided now that since I have found high-rise pants/jeans, I will not accept anything else, because I know what will end up happening and that is I will get annoyed about the fit and not wear them very often. So, waste of money. The top is just OK, but I wouldn't get enough use out of it.
Bisou Bisou® High-Low Colorblock Shirt, $27.99 on sale, size XL
Bisou Bisou® Diamond Geo-Print Pencil Skirt, $19.99 on sale, size M
I actually liked this outfit and may purchase it online. The skirt was a bit too tight, but they only had a M or XL in store, and I think I need a L. The top is cute, both with the skirt, and I think I could get a lot of use out of it on it's own. Pop this baby underneath a dress for work - yep. With jeans - yup. 'Nuff said.
nicole by Nicole Miller® Zip-Placket Tunic Top, $27.99, size XL
Bisou Bisou® Chevron Print Scuba Pencil Skirt, $19.99 on sale, size M
I was really excited about this skirt, but in person it was meh. On me, that is. They only had a S or M, so that is why I tried the M. It's too tight, but I don't think it would look better sized up. The top is just OK. It's not sheer at all, so if that's your thing, go for it.
nicole by Nicole Miller® top, $??, size XL
Bisou Bisou® Diamond Geo-Print Pencil Skirt, $19.99 on sale, size XL
The top is eh. It was a little tight on the arms and had a rip in the back. This is the same skirt as above (obvi) in the XL. It's too big. (Actually now that I look at the top in the picture, I'm thinking I should have gotten it (a new one without a rip, obvi). It was on clearance, so probably would have been a cheap purchase. Oh, well.)
Bisou Bisou®
V-Back Scoopneck Foil Top, $19.99 on sale, size L
I thought this top would be cute for NYE, given it's shininess, but it was too small.
black polka-dot blouse (??? - I think it's Bisou Bisou, but I can't find it online), size L
This top is just OK, but not WOW enough to purchase.
Joe Fresh™ Tie-Dyed Denim Shirt, $39, size XL
I really like how this top looks, but the sleeves were a bit tight. + it was not on sale, and I don't really need another denim shirt. If it goes on sale, I might consider it.
Olsenboye® Quilted Bomber Jacket, $29.99 on sale, size L
Not really sure what I was thinking with this one, but here-ya-go.
a.n.a® Boyfriend Top, $19.99 on sale, size XL
I ordered this online for in-store pick-up and my lovely, generous Mother picked it up for me and brought it over when we got together for Xmas break. I ordered a L and XL and I like the XL better. It's a little long in the arms, but if I roll them up, it's all good. The L was very tight on my arms and back and was gapping in the chest.
Levi's® Motorcycle Jacket, $60 on sale, size L
Eh... and especially for $60?! Nope.
The prices at JCP are incredibly inflated now, and we're back to only being able to afford something if you have a million coupons and there are a thousand sales going on. So. Annoying. I would like to be able to purchase one item without it being on sale, but most of the prices make that impossible. Can we please get Ron Johnson back?
