a stop at j.crew factory.

Hi everyone!

So exciting, DH have a little working staycation happening this weekend. My parents are watching our son this weekend so we can get every last thing into storage and do some major prepping (patching, paint touch-ups, cleaning, staging) for putting the house on the market. How awesome are they? So while we'll be working on all of that during the day, we get to have a couple nights out on the town and sleeping in. Heaven!

I was able to hit my (fairly) local J.Crew Factory store yesterday to check out a couple newer items in person, and then wandered over to the clearance section, which was an additional 50% off. Online, they are offering 40% off of final sale prices with code MOREPLEASE. Factory stores will do ship-sends, btw.

From the newer stock, I really love this printed cardigan. This is a size small. I prefer to go up to a medium in these.




















In the pic above, I'm wearing the skimmer pants in herringbone in a lovely turquoise color, found on the clearance rack for $15 after discount. I think actually liked these better than my retail wool cafe capris. The color is very pretty and the herringbone made them more interesting. I know the wool capris aren't everyone's favorite, but I was able to wear mine well into the warmer winter days and plan to wear them in early spring as well, when I'm dying for color, but it's still cold.  I went with a size 4.  Here are a couple outfit ideas for the pants:

$15 pants by shopwithm featuring slim pants


There were lots of cashmere v-necks that were about $32 with discount, but I'm full up on my cashmere colors and basics. They felt actually quite nice and soft.

I also found the factory dove tee for $10, a factory Downtown Field Jacket for $40 (retail here).

Also newish is this Pocket Dress, which is navy with red (poppy? coral? hard to tell, they were small) polka dots. This was a size 4, and it just fit a little off for me. I get that the top was supposed to be a little blousy, but it didn't lay right for some reason. I wanted to try on a 6, but they were out. Also, the little pleat at the neck/chest area is not going to work if you're busty. It's also on the short side and 100% viscose. I did like the pockets though.

I like to check out Crewcuts for my son, but sometimes there's a little something in there for us ladies. I loved the little Eiffel Tower critter necklace (it has a little bit of mint coloring to it) and this fun mint beaded necklace with the sunny yellow ribbon. They were about $10 I think.

Also in Crewcuts clearance was this cotton shirt in a size 14. With discount, $12.50. It felt a little snug on my hips buttoned up (which you can see in the pic), but unbuttoned over a tank, it would work.

Have you found anything you liked at Factory lately?

Have a great day!
