Basic Knits

I tend not to gravitate toward the basic and useful, but New York knitwear brand Inhabit is having a site wide sale where everything is 70% off plus an extra $20 off with code Cashmere. I like this blue wool and cotton sweater for $66.40 (was $288), but there are several nice cashmere pieces too.

Buy This Dress!

To the few of you who may be reading this: one of you should buy this size small new with tags wool Helmut Lang cowl neck dress for $75 with Buy it Now from eBay before it expires on Sunday morning. I have this dress, which I spent more on from Tokio 7 presumably used. It is comfortable, fairly warm but not too heavy, and I think quite flattering. I even thought about buying this one too is how much I like it. Do it!

Long Dresses

I've never been a fan of long dresses or skirts, but these and SF winters are helping me come around. From top, Mary Meyer black and white cotton dress for $58 at La Dama (original price around $150-$200); gray and black cupro dress by Obesity and Speed for $102 from Bona Drag (was $170); and multi-color dress by Juma for $168 at Kaight (originally $225).

Patterned Tapered Pants

From above, Stine Goya pants for $59.99 (were $248) at Urban Outfitters; Elizabeth and James leopard print pants $134 (were $335) at Les Nouvelles with code HANGOVER (expires January 6).

Dress

Amazing patterned dress by Rachel Comey on eBay for $200 (probably originally around $500?) with zero bids and 4 days, 10 hours left.

Short Wedge Boots

From above: perfect black leather boots by hard-to-find Copenhagen-based (of course) shoe company D. Co, $235 (were $310) if you buy a $75 voucher worth $150 from Refinery29's Reserve by Christmas to use at CHARLIE & LEE before January 31, 2012; over-the-top Rachel Comey green suede boots with a navy heel for $306.60 at Gimme Shoes (were $438); and Minimarket woven checked leather boots at the Outnet for $184 (originally $460 -- and also in black and red leather for $199, down from $399, at Urban Outfitters). I can't decide if they'll look as good on as they do here. Thoughts?

Wrap Dress

I have an inexplicable animosity toward wrap dresses, but if I didn't I would surely snap up this Mociun dress in the stairs print for $94 (was $235, also available with short sleeves) from New York brick-and-mortar and online store Kaight.
