James Perse (I <3 Knits)

James Perse henley and skirt, F21 belt, Max Studio pumps

I like knits.  Like, really like them.  American Apparel, Ella Moss, C&C California, James Perse.  I love thin, soft basics.  Boring?  Maybe.  Versatile?  Definitely.

I've worn the button henley shirt before (in my first post!), but I just got the skirt from the James Perse sale on Rue La La.*  It's a size 01, but it was a little loose at the waist, so I cinched it with a belt and I think it actually looks better w/ the gathered fabric.

I first discovered James Perse at a Nordstrom Rack when I was living in CA.  I'm not going to lie, it's pretty pricey for "just a T-shirt."  But you have to feel this stuff.  It is NOT just a T-shirt.  It's like Jesus in the form of textiles.

The solution to the price?  Never pay full retail!  I've always gotten my JP pieces from online sales, the sale racks at Saks and Nordstrom, and even TJ Maxx!

Now for the plug:  James Perse is having a private sale online.  All you have to do to access the sale is register your email at JamesPerse.com.  Sale ends Monday!

I'm intrigued by this fleece Upside Down Jacket....  I do not own any JP jackets yet....
