I am too emotionally bonked (boyfriend moved across the country today) to do anything but look for the most perfect, affordable leather jacket. I wish this Allsaints sage leather biker jacket weren't so light-colored.

CUTE AND ON SALE (Zara ballerina with metal heel, $19.99)

Well, shit, y'all, I've been waiting for a pair of Rachel Comey Mars boots that I can afford to appear and while I can't really afford these, will they ever be less than this?

I am pretty pretty pretty into this stretch wool motorcycle jacket and not because J. Crew's sale items are an additional 40 percent off with code SHOP HAPPY.

I didn't get that Supreme beanie, but I did get this Supreme beanie, because this is what happens when I am alone in my office on Christmas Eve Eve.

MORE FROM THE DRESLYN SALE DANG THIS CARVEN SWEATSHIRT DRESS IS WHERE THE HELL IT'S AT

[triple-ess]

What do we think of buying Supreme on eBay because TBH I'd really like to own this beanie and I don't think this looks totally fake?

[triple-ess]

Look at these expensive-ass "stretch wool luxe sweatpants with tapered leg." Yeah, you bet I am considering buying them what with an extra 20 percent off sale on The Dreslyn.

I am light years away from anything remotely resembling marriage—hello, have you heard, my boyfriend is moving across the country in a few weeks? I'm doing a stellar job of being very upset about this on my personal social networking platforms —and I am an avowed detractor of the wedding industrial complex, but Capitol Hill Style linked to this dress, and I clicked on it, and I was like, "Holy fuck, if I got married, I would wear the shit out of this."

I came to that reaction because I love this dress so very much—it has sequins, and a cheeky-but-still-conservative tulip skirt, and the waistline would hide my much-hated stomach—but, like, where the hell do you wear something with this bright white of a skirt? To a wedding, dur. To your wedding. I would wear this to the wedding that I don't really want to have.

It also costs $109, which makes me think I should just buy it and marry myself.

Oh man oh man is all this Datter Industries stuff is so macabre and pretty

[triple-ess]

Everything at J. Crew Factory is 50 percent off (price as marked; get 25 percent off clearance with code SALE25), and I can't decide if this sweater will make me look oddly juvenile or alt-twentysomething adorable.

I sent this week's Gilt Trip yesterday, featuring this cool-ass bolt ring by Bare Collection. Get it.

I took two slices of pie into last night’s photobooth.

Here's the closet to an outfit shot you'll get from SSS. To my dude's company's holiday party, I wore a Bailey 44 dress; black patent Delman flats (like these, but bought years ago on Gilt); a Rebecca Minkoff MAC mini (bought used on eBay); and jewelry from Gorjana, Madewell, Need Supply, and Young Frankk.

Chris is wearing a custom suit because he's a real man, and we've got nametags on because, uh, corporate life.

More from that Neiman Marcus Last Call sale: This James Perse racerback dress. If you’re a size three, buy this. James Perse stuff is expensive, but flattering as all get-out.

I bought a James Perse v-neck in one of those weird keeping-up-with-the-Joneses fits that privileged college girls have during my freshman year at University of Colorado; no 18-year-old should spend $80 on a T-shirt from a bougie boutique in Boulder, but I have washed and worn that thing to hell and back in the last five years and it still looks, feels, and fits like it did when I bought it.

These J. Crew Collection leather leggings are pure fuckery, what with that highway-lane-striping white business down the sides and the $650 price tag. But damn if I don't dig them.

I have this Barbour jacket, but I only look 10 percent as good in it.

[triple-ess]

There is a bonkers sale on Neiman Marcus Last Call for an indeterminate period of time: extra 50 percent off clearance and extra 30 percent off everything else. I like this knot-front sheath dress by Three Dots; it comes in a few colors, and I think the granite is actually superior to the black. And it's a viscose/spandex blend, which should mean less of the weird draping inherent with ruched cotton dresses and more flattering, stomach-hiding draping.
