I just came across this on eBay and had to share:

http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-Theory-Branden-blazer-00-365_W0QQitemZ180475953890QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WC_Blazers_Tailored_Jackets?hash=item2a053482e2

It's the exact jacket I'm wearing in my new banner. I have several black Theory blazers and I can honestly say the Branden is my favorite one ever. The cut is just right on my figure, and the color matches all of my black Theory suit pants. I had to get the sleeves shortened an inch but other than that, it fits me to a T. I love it so much that I'm tempted to buy this as a backup, esp. for that price, but wanted to share it here in hopes that someone else will snag it : )

Cute jacket! I have a feeling this forum is going to be bad for my bank account!

And while I am wasting time on eBay (working from home day :P ) here is another one of my Theory faves poppin up in size 0. It ends today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Theory-Yeneth-Brushstroke-cotton-tank-Dress-0-NWT-335_W0QQitemZ200443857965QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WC_Dresses?hash=item2eab628c2d

This dress comes up a LOT on ebay in size 0, in different variations (black boucle bottom, or black/blue brushstroke bottom), so check back for the black one. The top of this dress is stretchy and fits pretty small - it just needs a hem job. Here is a post where I am wearing mine in black, size 0 (hemmed off a little too much, though):

Diane von Furstenberg wrap top in size 0. I have two very similar tops, that only needed the straps taken up just a smidge. Very cheap alteration, see it in this post.

A reader shared this dress with me because she was surprised that BCBG made PXXS (I knew they made lots of XXS, but not PXXS):

http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-BCBG-Max-Azria-Fern-Combo-Print-Dress-XXSP-Sz-0_W0QQitemZ230449547791QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WC_Dresses?hash=item35a7dd0a0f

Upon reading the measurements though (28 inches unstretched waist?) the sizing seems rather generous for a PXXS. I'm thinking the seller may have mis-listed the size or mis-measured. Anyone own anything in PXXS from bcbg? I have a dress in P0 and it fits me quite decently, and the bust area is even a little tight!

I have this exact same top in teal, size P. I had to get the straps shortened by my tailor, but it's perfect otherwise.

The black Theory Yeneth dress in 0 that I own with the boucle bottom. Love it, but you gotta wear a slip cuz it's unlined. Bid currently at $15:

Hey, AN. I've got my eye on this top, in a larger size, but I'm wondering how low the V back is. Some of the mannequin pics make it look quite low?? Can you wear it with a regular bra? Can it be tacked closed at an appropriate depth? It's a lovely top!
