I made it to my store’s First Look event on Wednesday. It was good to see a number of items I wanted to try on as well as some I didn’t expect to like so much. I’ll review everything over the next few days. You can also visit my Instagram to see a few of those items already.

~ Cap-Sleeve Top in Embroidered Sunburst, size 6 ~

~ Cap-Sleeve Top in Embroidered Sunburst, White, size 6 ~
I am a fan of cap-sleeves and really liked the look and colors of this specific. It also comes in Seashore Multi. I usually take a size 6 in sleeveless tops and that was the right size for this one as well. There’s no pulling across the chest or shoulders in this size. 

I almost expected this to have tassels at the collar. It just looks like it should. The thread used for the embroidery is red, blue, some black and metallic. The “sunburst” pattern is only at the front of the chest.

~ Embroidered Sunburst Pull-on Short, Medium ~

The embroidery thread color is the same as the top. I have been wearing a medium in the pull-on shorts but this was over-sized. The shorts felt very roomy all over. The elastic waistband kept slipping down as well. It looks like you may need to size down for these. If I do that, the inseam will be a little shorter. These are lined and the the linen/cotton blend feels pretty sturdy. Almost like the lining could have been done away with, though I’m glad it’s there. 
 

The sunburst pattern goes all around the shorts. The pockets on the side and in back are also trimmed in embroidery.

There are several options in the Embroidered Sunburst to choose from. 
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
Overall, I really liked the top but even with the 30% off GOSHOPPING promo I feel it’s still a little too high in price. Also, I think the Factory will probably make a good duplicate of both it and the shorts next Summer.

What do you think of the Embroidered Sunburst items?
