J. Crew Factory Reviews- Jackie Striped Cardigan and Bow Ballet Flats

Hello!  2 cute finds at the Crewlet last week.  First is the Factory Striped Jackie Cardigan.  Its no secret that I love stripes and I love navy blue, so this was a winner for me.  I got a small in this one and its fine, but I also bought a solid pink and had to size up to a medium because it was tight in the chest.   So definitely try these on if you can!   I wore it today to yet another Kindergarten birthday party with a coral tank from Target, my 7FAMK Dojos, another beaded necklace that was on sale at my J. Crew a few weeks ago ($19.99), and the Factory Patent Bow Ballet flats in Clay(see below).  You can also see the cardigan on ShopwithM here. 















 
































Factory Patent Bow Ballet Flats.   I have been on the hunt for a neutral ballet flat and these are perfect.  They were 30% off in the store and ended up being $62 and change.  They run TTS to big.  I am wearing a 9 and they work.  I usually wear a 9 in J. Crew flats but a 9.5 in their heels.  These are on the wider side as well.  They are extremely comfortable, have padding at the heel and haven't required any breaking in.  I think I am going to have to go back to the Crewlet for the red ones (which are an orangey red IRL).   You can see them in the pics above, but here's a close up of my bony feet.

















What do you think?  Have you been to the Crewlet lately?  I feel like I have been there quite a bit recently!  Have a great day!

    Thank you for these! :) By the way, I have that same red beaded necklace. My dad and my son gave that one to me for Christmas, it is very versatile...I give them huge props for their taste.

    Love my dojos, wonderful jeans!

    Do the patent flats breathe? They are very cute, but I find non-natural fabrics are bad for my feet...just too sweaty or something. LOL.

    You have it in green, as well, or am I making that up?

      Oh, and when I wrote my original comment I had the "you have it in green, as well, or am I making that up?" under the first paragraph...I was asking if you had the beaded necklace in green. Drr. I feel a bit out of it when I re-read my comment. ;)

      lol! Yes, I do have the necklace in green. I figured I would get a lot of use out of both and I liked the sale price!

      The flats are not super breathable but they aren't awful. I probably won't wear them when its super hot though.

    I ordered the neon pink stripe one and need a minute to try it on. It's pretty in the package. Looks pretty standard as far as the Jackie silhouette goes. Those shoes are cute!
