The other item I purchased with the Labor Day promo at Tory Burch was a wallet/wristlet. I am still using a Kate Spade wallet I purchased from the Outlet and decided that instead of buying a new bag for the Fall Winter {like this one} I would find a new wallet that was more Fall-like instead. I would then continue to use my Robinson Open Dome in Ivory and then switch to my Robinson in Navy for Winter.

~ York Multi-Task Smartphone Wristlet, Dark Plum ~

The strap is removable. I’ll keep it with my jewelry so that if I decide to use it just as a wristlet when I go out it will be right there with my rings and watch. 

I tried a few small “smartphone bags” last year that held my phone but not the case. The York Wristlet holds my iPhone with the case still one it. Love that!! There’s a small coin section and a few pockets for cash and receipts. 

There are 6 slots for your DL and cards along with two more longer slips for hidden cash or a rewards card or two. 

If you haven’t noticed by now, my Fall wardrobe will be mostly Navy and Burgundy (or that shade) with subtle pops of muted colors. I am loving it! Husband has been more vocal about what what he likes on me including colors. “Mr. Picky-Picky” has about 60% Navy in his closet to go with his black, brown and gray slacks. I dare not try any longer to buy or even select clothes for him as he just wrinkles his nose or rolls his eyes. If I do, I try to stick to a Navy theme to distract from the crazy print. LOL!

How are you transitioning your Summer pieces to Fall?

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.

I had an office visit on Thursday and finally had time after to stop by the J Crew Factory to try on all the new Fall arrivals. There were all sorts of different promos and then the Gilt 30% off coupon applied on top of that. All promos listed in the next few Factory posts were as of Thursday. They seem to change almost overnight and/or for the weekend.

~ Slim Stretch Wool Pant, Olive Moss, size 8 ~
I originally thought these were the Skimmer Pant in Wool until I got home and saw they weren’t. The fit is a little snug in the 8 but nothing a little Spanx-ing couldn’t take care of. These are not lined and felt a little itchy. The Olive Moss is a beautiful color too. Loved!
 

~ Winnie Pant in Stretch Twill, Navy, size 8 ~
These were a very nice fit. Very similar to the Minnie in a size 6, including the length. They were 20% off in-store. There was one pant left in the Pinot Noir color. I passed on these since I have 2 pairs of Navy pants. 
 

~ Frankie Chino, Vintage Aubergine, size 8 ~
I loved this color! The fit was TTS compared to the Andie Chino, The length might be just a little longer than the Andie. No complaints from these pants. Would have loved to have gotten them but the Andie Chino in Deep Garnet also caught my eye. These were 20% off. Also, the Tuxedo Stripe were 50% off in store as of Thursday.
 

~ Toothpick/Skinny Ankle Jean, Classic Rinse, size 30 ~

I need another pair of jeans like I need another pair of shoes but at 50% off the deal was too good to pass up. All Toothpick/Skinny Ankle Jeans were 50% off and then the Gilt coupon applied on top of that. I bought these for $28. The Classic Rinse denim is a little stiffer so I went with the size 30. If the denim is softer then I can get a 29.

As soon as I can, I’ll have more reviews up. A few highlights were $5 off on the Excursion Vests but the Gilt coupon will not apply, Horsing Around Sweatshirts were 30% off (online doesn’t have them on promo), Wool Blazers were 50% off and the Isabelle in Houndstooth are GORGEOUS!

Until the next Factory post!
