I was able to stop by the Factory store recently and had time to try on a couple of things.
Charley Sweater in Lobster, Sz Small – This was only an extra $5 off but I love it. The navy is gorgeous and the sweater is very soft. The Small fit well too.
Pleated Printed Skirt in Red (Heart Throb), Sz 6 – This was a decent fit, if a little snug in the waist. The length is perfect and I don’t mind the Polyester material. Compared to the Color-Block skirts it’s not as cheap looking. AND, all skirts are 40% off in-store.
Dot-Dot-Dash Mini Skirt, Sz 8, Festival Green – This was a very pretty bright green. And wholy moly it’s lined. It was also 40% off but I passed. I would have loved a non-printed skirt in this color, because it is pretty.
Double-Serge Cotton Mini, Sz 8, Deep Orchid – This is a beautiful deep purple color, though it looks blue on my monitor. I had a hard time deciding between this and the Heart Print skirt. I chose the Heart Print because of the movement of the skirt but if this color is in-store next time I go I’ll grab it.
Pencil Skirt in Double-Serge Cotton, Sz 6, Bright Spearmint – This color is just slightly lighter than last year’s double-serge mini skirt, which I own, and also extremely similar in color to the retail No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Spearmint. I’d say EXACT. No, this is not lined but, YES, it does have pockets. Also, it was 40% off so I bought it for more than half off of the retail version. I’ve never had an issue with the double-serge factory skirts. They hold up well and I really love the pocket feature.
Heart Print Scarf, $39.50 – All scarves were an additional 30% off but I didn’t grab the style # for this. The blue is a little lighter than the blue in the skirt but it’s cute none-the-less.
Sequin Heart Graphic Tee, Sz Medium – Very cute tee and perfect for up-coming Valentine’s Day. The sequins are securely sown on. I don’t recall the tag price but all tees were on sale and I think this was $16.99 in-store.
I didn’t get a chance to write down any other discounts but the store had a percent or dollar off everything. The tiny sale section was an additional 50%. You can see more Factory options on Rose from 1 More Shopping Blog. If you have a Factory nearby, I suggest you visit it. It will save you more than ordering online.
Have a Great Day!
The spearmint skirt is beautiful…a great classic to have in a spring wardrobe!!
Definitely Pam, and with an early Spring and probably Summer ill get a lot of use out of it.
Thank you for the link love, audreybella! I like all the skirts on you! Very cute!
Thank you Rose! I wish I had more time then to try on dresses. Next time I guess.
Everything looks really cute on you!!
Thank you shopwithm. I have worn the Lobster sweater twice already. Love it!
The sequin heart tee and deep blue mini are my favorites on you 🙂
Thanks Gigi. I definitely need to get back and grab that mini!
Aloha, and thank you for these great reviews. It seems that Factory reviews are rare online, especially with irl pics. Especially 'this' skirt in particular, I think you're one of the rare few that's reviewed this item.
Question about the No. 2 Pencil Skirt–would you say it runs the same size as regular Crew Double-Serge pencils? I remember reading a review months ago mentioning that the Factory skirts are a bit more snug. So I wonder if it's best to get the regular size, or to size up? And wow, that Spearmint is outta sight, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this on you!
