Back to some more Factory reviews today.

I loved the quality of the merino for this sweater. It seems just like the retail merino sweaters. I need a Medium as it’s quite snug in the shoulders and arms and I could use a touch more length. 
The geometric design was done very well and very similar to the retail version. 

I put this sweater on my wishlist when it originally showed up online. I’m glad I was able to see it in-store. I think the front is very snag-prone. I was also hoping this was a little longer. It would have been nice to have seen it as a tunic. Again, a Medium would be the better fit. 
~ Merino Pocket Tunic, Black, XS ~
I regret not getting the retail version of this sweater with the leather pockets so I am very happy this arrived at the Factory. There was only an Extra-Small (!!!!) and then the sweater jumped to a Large in-store in the black. This size fit very well. I took a Small in the retail versions. 
At the time, the sweater was 30% off in-store and was a better deal than online. Now, the price is comparable but I think I’ll stick with the XS. I’m wearing them with the Dotted Gigi Pant, size 6. 
I brought the Merino Pocket Tunic home with me, using the Gilt 30% off Coupon.

I love both of these shoes in today’s Shoes-day post. Let’s see if you do too!

There was no size 7 to try on in the Houndstooth Print. I have the Printed Bow Pump and am confident the sizing is the same. I tried on the 7 1/2 to be sure. 

There’s almost a half-inch gap at the heel but the toe box fit nicely. The material is a poly/wool blend and feels like wool Even the print on the heel is cute!

I wish my size had been in-store. I would have bought them. When I got home I debated about it and decided to wait until the next morning. Well, wouldn’t you know it? The price went from $82.50 promo to $128 promo (regular $138), so I missed a pretty good deal, especially if you include the Gilt 30% coupon. All shoes in-store were 30% off. I know I don’t “need” them but oh, do I want them!

~ Anya Suede Ballet Flat, Crimson Maple, size 7 ~
Now, the Anya in Crimson Maple was a definite buy. The only reason I waited was to see what the price was online compared to in-store. The in-store price was much much better at 30% off, not including the coupon. 

The color is very nice and these fit just like by beloved Cece’s. I’m happy I was able to add this color to my collection.

So have you tried the Isabelle Houndstooth Pumps? Or the Anya in the new colors? I would love to see this color in a leather.

Happy Shoes-day!

A few Factory dresses for you this evening. All dresses were 20% off on 9/4.

~ Tipped Ponte Dress, Red Currant, size 6 ~
I loved this dress. If I had opportunities to wear it more I would have bought it. The size 6 fit surprisingly well. I’d Spanx it to make sure I got the best shape at the belly and hips area. The Navy dress is also very saturated. I love working-from-home but simple dresses like this make me consider making the hour drive in. 
~ Chambray Shirtdress, size 6 ~
The actual body of the dress fit just fine but those arms and shoulders were tight. I had to wiggle my way out. If you don’t have that problem area, like I do, get your true size in this dress. The chambray has a soft feel to it and it’s comfortable on. The length, if you can’t tell, hit me just above the knee. I’m 5’2″.
~ Tweed Chevron Stripe Dress, size 8, #A8989 ~
This is not online but This was with the suiting section which I believe was 20% off. I wasn’t able to zip this all the way up. It will fit it does, it’s just that extra seaming at the waist that always gives me trouble on any dress I try. This is a very nice wear-to-work dress. The bottom portion is a pencil shape and well below the knees. 
Here’s a pic of the tag so you can see the tweed material up-close.

Have a Great Evening!

~ Gallop Sweatshirt, Gray, Small ~
I swore off sweatshirts and wasn’t going to get the Gallop Sweatshirt but tried it on anyway. I shouldn’t have done that. These were on promo for 30% off and then add the Gilt Coupon on top of that bringing it to $28.50. Too good of a deal to pass up. The Small was a great fit and I would have been drowning in the Medium. I think I can even get by with layering under this size.

~ Gallop Sweatshirt, Navy, Extra Small ~
When I figured out how much the sweatshirt was going to be I decided to try the same size on in the Navy. I didn’t/don’t want to be matchy with the Addie Gallop Loafer. The fit was just a bit small and there’s no room for layering. I did like the lean look (if that’s possible with a sweatshirt) through the body. If there had been a Small or even a Medium I might have actually purchased both colors. The Navy with the white horses is really nice looking IRL. 

~ Printed Tissue Scarf, Heather Graphite ~
And here’s the matching Gallop scarf. The gray is nice but might have looked better in Navy with white horses. 

What did you get from the Horsing Around/Gallop Factory collection?

This is in-store only so far. I have no idea if this will make it online. It’s navy & gray check and so cute. I stuck with my normal size Small in these vests and the fit was good. 

Looking at these pictures makes me think I should have bought it! At the time I was in the store they were only $5 off. I know that the Saturday before they were 20% off. Promos at the Factory change almost daily. The Gilt Coupon does not apply to the Excursion Vests.

Just adorable! The style number is the same as the Herrinbone and Camo Vests, #02533.
