Didn't I say I was buying no more sandals? Maybe that was so until yesterday.

Can't decide if it's good or not that there isn't a JC Factory store near me. I would drop in all the time. viva on "Confession" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-5#post-1721718 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 21:45:45 +0000 viva 1721718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Texstyle. You are right! I have to stay away from stores. And yes, I am resigned to the "special care" label. I am not opposed to dry cleaning and do find it the best way to keep my knits in good shape.  But thanks for the smack. texstyle on "Confession" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-5#post-1721711 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 21:32:28 +0000 texstyle 1721711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So are you REALLY off buying then or only until something you fall in love with appears?  Just doing what you asked and trying to hold you accountable ;-).   It is a lovely sweater of course but it looks to require special care (Dry Clean label, which I do tend to ignore and handwash or wash on delicate anyway, but it does require laying flat to dry - which can be a pain). Ducking away now.

Well worth the purchase for sure. You did well.  I wish I had a J. Crew factory near me!!

I think this was an excellent pick up Vivian. I'd pick it up too! Except my JCrew Factory only has the Factory stuff, never the overstock from the main line *sniffle* Thistle on "Confession" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-5#post-1721658 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 19:51:20 +0000 Thistle 1721658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Beautiful sweater, and perfect for you.

I love this sweater! I think I might drop in to jcrew factory this evening. Thanks for the heads up.

What an excellent price too.

And a good deal to boot. But, yep, somehow that "just stopping in and tried not to look" plan is not very effective. :-) RobinF on "Confession" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-5#post-1721582 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 16:35:43 +0000 RobinF 1721582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love that sweater! I am not good at all at forbidding myself to shop, it makes me want to even more! At least it is a wash financially. :) Courtney on "Confession" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-5#post-1721581 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 16:34:24 +0000 Courtney 1721581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Looks so cozy!  viva on "Confession" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/confession-5#post-1721577 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 16:32:47 +0000 viva 1721577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I said I wasn't buying .... but I stopped by JC Factory today after barre, and they had just received a truckload of Collection items that were going straight to Clearance.  I tried not to look. But I found this lovely, cozy, non-itchy sweater for $49 (orig $238). Another for my knitwear update! And it has cashmere neck and sleeves! The sizing is way off -- the only one they had was an XXS and it fit -- so I got it, and then quickly left the store.  I know I have $50 coming to me from my consignment sales, so financially it's a wash. But I need to come clean here and to return to my plan. And -- I promise -- no more "stopping in." :)
