I couldn't resist the allure of the factory new arrivals for very long! In fact, I went into my b&m today to sample the goods. Here is what I took home:
This tee isn't online and who knows if it ever will be. It is super cute, I think! It is 100% cotton and I'd call it a tissue tee, but it doesn't seem like it is too fragile. The sequin anchor is navy. I bought a size medium for a slouchier look. I also noticed they had a remake of the tee from a few years ago that had a big gold fish on the front. All the tees like this were 40% off.
The skirt is the
slim-stripe knit maxiskirt and it is $72.50, but was also 40% off. There is also a plain navy version that I tried but decided not to buy. I loooove this skirt! I was worried it would be too short but it is a good length, I think... though I wouldn't mind another few inches. I purchased it in a small. Please try to pretend that I am not wearing hot pink underwear... this skirt is a little sheer. It definitely requires nude colored underwear or (shudder) a thong. Totally worth it though. It is a very cute skirt, comfortable, and easy to wear. Factory just keeps churning out winners lately!
Here is the
cork envelope clutch. I have wanted a cork bag of some sort for a while but I didn't want to spend a ton on something so frivolous and unnecessary, not to mention very seasonally limited. Bags are 50% off so for about $27, I couldn't resist. The lining is standard cotton twill, and it has a cool little change purse type interior. Behind that is a large slip pocket. This clutch won't hold much but it will be really cute for weddings and such this summer.
What do you think of the factory new arrivals? Anything you have to have?
I was there yesterdAy for a hot minute and missed that cute tee and didn't try the skirt but wish I hAd. I did snag that striped linen maxi and the navy rattan clutch, which I can use for my wedding this weekend and Vegas. Yay! Almost got the cork one too. Lots of cute thing there I thought.
ReplyDeleteI love the linen maxi; it looks so cute online. My store didn't get it though :( Love the rattan clutches; they are so summer!
DeleteOh! I saw that clutch at the clearance center a few weeks ago (assumed it was a sample) and loved it! I almost took it home but it was priced pretty unreasonably for a CC item. I love the idea of it but I so rarely use clutches. Love the tee and skirt. I'm soooo looking forward to summer when I can wear nothing but knits allll the time! (6 days!)
ReplyDeleteWhat is with their pricing? It is so unreasonable sometimes. Wearing nothing but knits is the best thing ever! Congrats on making it through another school year!
DeleteThanks a bunch for the reviews! Now I need to find the time to get by the outlet and pick up my skirt. (and maybe that cute little tee too. :o))
ReplyDeleteHehe, yes, I think you should get both!
DeleteI'm liking that clutch, may run up to Crewlet tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWhy not?
DeleteI was just looking at that skirt online. I likes it. I like sit. Thanks for the reviews! They're so helpful.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! I can't count how many times someone else's review has helped me!
DeleteI ordered the skirt - its arriving today. Thanks for the review! I saw it online and couldn't decide - your review sent me clicking :) Also wondering (from your JCA post) what the foulard maxi looks like?!? Can you post/comment? I love that print :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hi mack! I am glad my review was helpful, and enabling, ha ha... it really is a nice skirt. I will post a review and pics of the foulard maxi ASAP! I will try to do it tonight. It is so pretty.
DeleteI just got the striped maxi at the outlet today!! I was debating between the striped one and the navy, which I thought would be more practical and match more tops, but I just couldn't resist the fun stripes! What other sorts of tops do you plan to wear with it?
ReplyDeleteHey Erika! That is a good question. Probably just plain tanks/tees, as I'm boring like that. I MIGHT try a chambray button down but that is a little to fashionable for me, LOL.
DeleteLove your outfit! The skirt sold out online before I could order it! I'm going to watch for pop backs. Thanks for your reviews!
