Charley Sweater in Orange, Medium – I did not expect to like this sweater and tried it on only for the blog. But it’s super-cute and I really liked it. I didn’t get it because, even though our weather has caused me to wear every sweater I own at least once, I didn’t need another sweater. Even one as cute as this. My normal size Medium fit well
Floral Eyelet Top, size 8 – I liked the Melon color of this blouse. It’s not too bright IRL. The fit is spot on for me in the size 8, my normal shirt size. The eyelet is nice, but overall this is not something I’m looking for in my closet, in any of the colors. I know it will look great with white and navy bottoms.
Printed Silk Two Pocket Blouse, Small – I love my Blythe blouse in Pale Graphite. It’s so versatile and I wear it often. I was happy to find it at the Factory in Black Dot. Though it’s sheer I usually layer these under sweaters, cardigans and dresses. The Medium was originally too long in the arms and looser through the body. The Small fits much better all over. This went from 40% to 50% by Wednesday’s visit.
The Ettas also pair nicely with the dress. My younger cousins need to hurry up and get married so I can wear my dresses to their weddings. 😉
I found the Linen Bead-Stitch Sweater in the Clearance section of the Factory. This is a Medium.
The Keating Boy Blazer in Linen in Minty Green was marked down to $99.97. Blazers were 40% off both Saturday and Wednesday. The mark-down happened between those days. Then of course, you can use the 20/25% coupon as well.
The Factory has been getting my money lately over the Retail side. Especially when the Retail prints and styles are being duplicated a few seasons later. Retail is loosing it’s mind. I like the quality in a lot of the Factory items and the prices are much better. The bonus is when they have 30/40/50% off plus a coupon to use!
Who has been getting your money lately?
That dress looks AMAZING on you! Love it with the Ettas too – great pairing! I bought the tangerine button-down (I have the Charley sweater in pear already) and from what I read about the retail version, I'm glad I missed out and had to wait for Factory. It's all cotton which I prefer. I also might have to get that floral eyelet top – looks way cuter on you than it does online. That's one thing I don't like about Factory – no models. 🙁 Thanks for the reviews!
Hi AudreyBella – I missed the Blythe Silk Blouse in Retail, so I own a few of the Silk Two-Pocket Blouses in different colors and the Polka Dot. FYI, I found the blouses to be super-huge, and had to size down to an XS, a size I don't think I've worn since Junior High. They were great once I got them to fit though! Enjoy your lovely purchases!
