That brand runs REALLY small!” I would like to set the record straight. Yes, Theory size 00 works for a lot o…

On the heels on my outfit post with my white Theory Amanda B jacket, comes this little shrunken Theory jacket, in almost the exact same style and fit. Available in stores now, this little jacket is made of a stretch canvas, and is a very close fit. In size 00: My favorite of the bunch, in a seersucker stripe! More colors after the jump. This little jacket also comes in white, black, and khaki. On the Theory website, they carry navy, which I d…

I explored the brand Theory for work pants some time ago, and walked away with nothing. I was frustrated because all I kept hearing from people were, “Theory runs really small, it would totally fit you!”, but I found the pants to be way too big. You can read my original Theory post here. Since then, I was having a really hard time finding pants that were not jeans. I wanted something in a nice gray fabric, preferably wool or a wool …

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’ve had my eye on this tweed jacket since it first popped it’s little head into my local department stores early this shopping season. I found it in a size 0, which was a little big, but I liked it so much I made a mental note to search out the size 00. Of course, I searched high and low, and the size 00 was sold out everywhere! Theory Gratian Jacket in “Lecture”, $385 …
