J Crew Factory: Warmspun Fair Isle Sweater, Side-Button Elbow-Patch Sweater in Stripe, Fair Isle Sweater, Embroidered Cheers Sweater, Foulard Sweater

The J Crew Factory is running a 50% off everything promo right now both in-stores and online, no code needed. I was able to stop by on Thursday and but only had time to grab what I would buy. The Excursion Vests were only 30% off but that’s more than the normal $5 off I’ve seen in-store.

The Small fit very well on me so I wouldn’t size up to my normal Medium. I felt I could still get a layer under this and be comfortable. Wasn’t this print done as sweater leggings last year in Retail? I don’t recall this as a sweater. The darker color is navy and not black so it would pair with a lot of bottoms in my closet. This is a lovely sweater but this type of Fair Isle is not really my style.

This is big on me in the Medium. I would size down to a Small. I have started to be more consistent with wearing a size Small in Factory sweaters so I should now consider that my “normal” size. I loved this sweater and didn’t notice the elbow patches until I looked it up online. I would lay around all-day Sunday watching football in this sweater.

I have the retail version of this sweater and I don’t see a difference. I have the retail version of this button-down as well and have worn the two together. I don’t regret getting the retail version of the sweater because I wore it quite a bit. The Medium was the better fit, especially with a layer underneath. I definitely would have bought this if I didn’t have last year’s exact version. 

This ran a little big through the body so I would size to a Small. I immediately saw me wearing this with the Gold Stripe Mini Skirt (Factory sister) I bought from last year. This should sell well. The material is really soft, almost a cashmere feel. The embroidery is well done as well. 

~ Foulard Sweater, Medium ~
This is not online, maybe sold out? I took a pic of the tag but it came out blurry. I loved this sweater and so did a whole lot of other people. There were only 5 left in the whole store. This ran a little small so I’d actually size to a Large. 

All of these sweaters were so cozy against bare skin/no layers, especially the Side-Button Sweater and Cheers Sweater.

I”m running a little behind today. I’ll have more reviews later.

Have a Great Day!

    I was thinking about buying the first fair isle sweater. I love the bright colors, although I think I have too many of that "type" of sweater. Thanks for the reviews!
