I Got BITTEN By Sarah Jessica Parker pt1
Well not quite. Almost but not totally BITTEN by Sarah Jessica Parker’s clothing line. I wasn’t really impressed by her collection even after Oprah glorified it in her show. Great prices but too drabby for my style. SJP calls it as classic, eh. That’s all I have to say. BUT, that didn’t stop me from buying some when we stopped at the Steve and Barry’s store in Utica NY on our drive home from our NY vacation. I spied from the corner of my eye the store on our drive to my in-laws’s house. I told my husband I wanted to stop there because I wanted to check out SJP which he didn’t have a problem with since he wanted to check out the $15 Starbury sneakers anyway. I was actually waking up from my short drug-induced nap which I’ll explain some other time when he said “guess where we’re going?”. I saw the Shopping Mall sign but he said No and a few seconds later it dawned on me that we were on our way to Steve and Barry’s. Woohoooo. Honestly, I wanted to jump on the BITTEN by SJP bandwagon, LOL.
Anyhooo, great prices, the collection is quite undesirable for my taste. You really have to have a creative mind fashion wise to make the outfits pop. A lot of accessorizing is needed to infuse your own style on the BITTEN collection. The only prints I found were on graphic tees and the few nautical tunics in blue, and peach colors and plaid Bermuda shorts. Solid colors like black, and white are abundant though. Great low prices of course. The tops ranging from $7.98 to $14.98. I picked this pale pink 3/4 sleeves Poplin fitted blouse. For my first SJP purchase I figured I’d start with a classic blouse that will go with the trouser that I bought from the store’s Clearance rack(more on this later) and my black pinstriped My Michelle trouser already in my closet as well. I wanted a white one also but they didn’t have it in my size. I always buy Large when buying blouses like these. Unfortunately the white ones only came in Small, and XL. Yes, I must point out that BITTEN caters to all sizes which is good. This BITTEN by Sarah Jessica Parker 3/4 sleeves fitted blouse is $9.98 by the way.
Part 2, coming soon.. and it’s red 
I’ve heard mixed opinions, while the prices and some items are of great quality there are plenty of inconsistencies. Ooo detailed review please!
Mare, I wasn’t really expecting anything spectacular. Prices are great for bargain shoppers like me(us) but styles and designs are really quite boring. Like I said, it will be up to the “wearer” to think out of the box to accessorize a certain outfit coz the line doesn’t really BITE. Truth be told, it’s worth checking out because of SJP’s fashion reputation, heh.
where is her stuff made? i just finished reading the piece about this line in the latest issue of elle and SJP goes on and on about how high quality it is…
while i love the idea of cheap yet luxurious pieces, how they get that way is a wonder…..
ehh, dunno about the quality. the jeans maybe which I was eyeing but decided not to get any. next time maybe. in the FAQ section of bittensjp.com website it said:
“We manufacture our merchandise in many countries around the globe, including the United States and most continents.”
hope that helps

I hate we don’t have BITTEN clothing/ Steve & Barry’s in my town.
at least the ‘basics’ can be dolled up with jewelry
Dexie, I had to come back to this blog…now that a year has passed…how did the top hold up…does it still look and wear well…any complaints?
The top is too plain.
nice and classic
I have seen SJP on Oprah promoting her line of clothing. Glad to see that she is keeping prices affordable. Would like to see more of her line of clothing.
SJP is a Bitter who knew.
I remember seeing her on Oprah.

It’s a great place to get classic basics.
