I placed several Factory orders when I had extra promo coupons bringing some of the prices fairly reasonable. I decided to try a few more shorts as I wear those constantly in Summer. I feel more comfortable in shorts and skirts in the Summer, especially with our heat.

3″ Boardwalk Pull-on Short, Navy, size 8 ~
5″ Boardwalk Pull-on Short, Navy, size 8 ~

The 3-inch short is on the left and the 5-inch is on the right. I like the length of the 5-inch better, though the 3-inch looks longer that it probably should be due to the elastic waist. You can have it sit lower on your hips to give you a little more length. The size 8 is the best fit in these shorts (my normal shorts & pants size). The Navy is a little darker color than my Factory Chino Shorts in Navy. Those are a faded Navy. I kept the 5-inch since they just looked better.
  
3″ Chambray Drawstring Short, Medium ~

The Medium was a good fit in these, but the inseam looks shorter than the Boardwalk shorts. I bought these for really cheap and though they look like a really short inseam I kept them. They are good for around the house/pool/yard. It seems a little silly to buy shorts for non-outfit days but I can still run to the store looking somewhat decent if needed. 

~ 5″ Chino Short, Barbados Cherry, size 8 ~

These fit fine in the size 8, TTS. I was hoping the red was a little more saturated but it’s somewhat faded. I want a nice bright red short, for no real reason. This won’t do. 
  
~ Geometric Trim Tunic, Vintage Canvas, Medium ~
I really liked the geo-design on this tunic but this ran loose so I need to size to a Small. The material is a little thicker cotton but still very comfortable. I ended up returning this one because I did not think it was very flattering on me. Maybe because there was no shape or structure to it. 
 ~ Denim Tee, Medium ~
When I ordered this I thought the color different/shading was my computer. It’s IRL too. The very first inches of the top are a faded denim compared to the rest of the tee. That turned me off right away. The Medium fit fine though this was pretty boxy and not shaped at all. I couldn’t get over the color fading at the top to concentrate on anything else about this tee. It is popular though, as it is sold out now. 
Other than the two pairs of shorts, Factory was a miss overall. I’m hoping Summer brings some nice prints but I don’t need anything more. 
How did you fare with Factory items?
