J.Crew Factory Try-On Session

I usually don't find anything in stores at J.Crew Factory, which really is incredible because it means I can make my returns in stores and walk out empty-handed. Ummm, except for the last time I ran in. Their spring styles are so cute I had to try on a bunch for you, and walked out with a few too! Sharing today in case you're shopping the sales - enjoy your Memorial Day!!

Striped Tank - wearing an XL

I saw this online and thought it was adorable, but the reviews said it was really cropped so I never added it to my cart. It turns out it can be as long or as short as you want it, because the ties are adjustable. I ultimately didn't go for it because I didn't want another top I had to wear a strapless bra with, but it is super cute in person - also comes in navy stripes.

Sweater Blazer - wearing a Large

I grabbed this at the last second and was surprised by how much I liked it - it's basically a cardigan but with a little bit of structure that makes it look like so much more. I think it'll be a great layer for the office in the summer, and will also be cute to pair with my white jeans. This ended up coming home with me ;) 

Chambray Shorts - wearing a size Large 

These shorts are adorable in person and so comfortable and soft. I love the idea of chambray shorts, they have the comfort of the drawstring but the look of denim. 

Tie Shoulder Tee - wearing a size L

This tee is super adorable and I love the ties on the sleeves - a nice twist on a basic. I would have preferred the XL though or even the XXL in case it shrinks in the wash, which J.Crew Factory tees tend to do. 

Embroidered Tank - wearing a size 14

The embroidery on this top is beautiful, but the sizing is not right for a busty gal - you can kind of see it but it was gaping really far above my bust and basically showing my whole bra through the arm holes. 

Striped Faux Wrap Dress - wearing a 14 at home and a 16 in stores 

I loved this dress in the 14 but it was just a little too tight in the bust, so I thought I'd try the 16 in stores. I just thought the fabric was a little too flimsy once I got into the 16, it didn't have the structure to hold itself up. But, I loved the chambray version...

Chambray Faux-Wrap Dress - wearing a 16

Ahh the chambray version - ain't she pretty?! I love that this version has slightly thicker fabric and the little ties at the shoulder! I know that I definitely could have waited out another week and gotten this dress for a way cheaper price but decided I needed it NOW and bought it on a not great price, and I still think it's worth it - that's how good it is!! 

Pom Pom Coverup - wearing a size XL 

This has been on my wishlist for a while because the pom poms are so freaking cute, but in person it didn't wow me quite as much. It's shapeless and I didn't love the neckline - kind of like a vicar, huh? 

Gingham Dress - wearing a size Large 

How freaking cute is this dress?! I love the tie sleeves and the gingham, and I love that it's not too low of a v-neck. It's the perfect little piece to dress up and to dress down. Just a note that the gingham is black, not navy.
