OOTD J. Crew Factory Beaded Sweatshirt

We are blessed with very nice fall weather this year and it is mid-October and I am just starting to wear my sweatshirts or sweaters.


J. Crew Factory Beaded Sweatshirt in size S (different color here)
J. Crew Factory Gingham Shirt in size S from last year 

I have my eyes set on the J. Crew jeweled sweatshirt earlier as seen here:

The fabric of these 2 sweatshirts are similar. The retail version is softer though. However, I find the fit a bit small. But if I go up a size to medium, would be too long on the sleeves and shoulder part.


The factory version fits me better. A bit more loose on the body and does not quite hug the body as the J. Crew version. 


I am able to layer it with a gingham shirt underneath. 

I got this during one of their sales last month for only CAD $51. Now it is back to its full price. I find factory sales are tricky. They have so many promos going on and sometimes you just have to do your math carefully and grab an awesome deal. I got mine during their sales when they offered 40% off original price with free shipping.

  1. I passed on the factory one since I have a navy and a white from the regular store, but I really like the grey colour and may reconsider on my next trip down there...

    1. the J. Crew version is much softer. Check it out on your next trip. Wouldn't be a bad deal if you grab it on sale.
