*Futurepivko & FCG* J.Crew Factory haul-more pics added
I haven't been on my computer since last week, so this is a little late. If you're still interested, below is what I bought at the J.Crew Factory store and website last week. Everything in the store was on sale and then I got an additional 20% off for opening a store card. As you know, I went to the store to get that bubble/bib necklace and no luck. But then a nestie said it was available online so I got them via phone order and was still able to get the 20% store card discount.
There's some more stuff that I couldn't find online pictures of. If you want to see the rest, let me know and I will take pics.
What do you guys think?
eta: The rest of the purchases, so it looks like I bought more than jewelry, ha.

Thanks TX-Bride! That's a classic combo of black and white and any other color will contrast beautifully.
My husband loved the pink striped dress. He did not like the pink neon skinny belt that I wore over the elastic waist, but I don't care. It matches, lol.

Ditzdi, you'll love this shirt, the fabric is very substantial and has a nice weight to it (although not to make you feel hot). It's also a darker blue, which I like so I can wear it out at night over a dress. The best part for me is that it's long enough to tuck in my pants and stay there.
It's on sale now:

Love it all! Those wedges are great and you can never have too many chambray shirts. I'm thinking of hitting J. Crew again today since we're in Nashville for DH's Birthday. I got that coral striped maxi dress and think I want it in a solid too. Do those flip flops have a skull and corssbones on them? I kind of think I need them for Jimmy Buffett and the pool. Those are so cute.
Thanks, FCG, for taking a look. Ha, yes, the flip flops have skull and crossbones on them, against a preppy mint green background no less. You'll love 'em. This design is not available online but the jcrew factory store had a ton of them in all sizes last week. So I am hoping you can get your hands on a pair.
They are called Skinny Critter flip flop and the SKU # if you call your store is 099102669341 or item # WN8649.

Gah...I love that white enamel bracelet....I may buy it in the pink. Does it look coral'ly to anyone else? I would prefer it be coral than pink. I have a very similar one pinned from Nordstrom but it's $45 so the $26 price is better.
Those shorts are super cute....wish I could pull of shorts
Your haul is AWESOME. May i please borrow
?
You got the necklace! Yay! I know you had been eyeing it.
I love it all. Seriously. I wouldn't change a thing.
Thank you, Futurepivko! I'd let you borrow if you lived close by, but I am way bigger than you, ha.
I saw the necklace in yellow on the store manager and it was stunning on her otherwise smart casual outfit. She had on citrus yellow skinny jeans, the dark chambray shirt and a horizontal navy striped knit blazer. The necklace looked perfect and so pretty. I think I may like the Factory's version better than regular J. Crew because the "stones" are faceted instead of a round flat bubble shape. So, it kind of sparkled in an oh so subtle way.

BTW, I need to use your packing list since my normal routine of throw everything into a bag and garment bag at the last minute is failing me right now. I have so much crap here and don't want to wear any of it. Lol!
FCG, I love green, that will look so pretty for the maxi dress.
I'm so glad you liked my packing list! That list is 14 years old in the making. I just keep a print-out in my luggage and just go down the list when I pack.

Mavjen,
Did you happen to see the white enamel bracelet but in the pink version? Is it really pink or does it have a coral tinge to it?
I did see the pink enamel bracelet in person and it wasn't a true pink, more of a coral-ish pink. I hope this makes sense but it was more pink than coral. But please don't be mad at me if I'm wrong in my recollection!

Sure, I'm copying and pasting from my blog so I hope the number formatting sticks, but if not, here's a link: http://valleyoftheshoes.blogspot.com/2012/04/my-packing-list.html
Whoa, the nest worked for once! I don't pack all 40 types of items, but I edit appropriately for the specific trip. If I scan this while packing, I don't forget anything essential. Hope it helps you out!

That's exactly what it looks like on my screen. I'm going to go for it along with the other enamel bracelet you bought and the bubble necklace
Another question....
Would you wear both of those enamel bracelets together (the white one and the turquoise/white one)? If so, maybe I'll buy the one in white instead of pink.
Yes, totally. I was planning to wear both together (my attempt at arm candy stacking of bracelets), so that's why I got the white. Plus I love white with gold in the summers. Looks great with a bit of tan.
Maybe I will post a pic in a bit if Glee is super lame tonight.
Eta: definitely get the bubble bib necklace, it's a show stopper piece

Ok you sold me...thanks!
That outfit sounds amazing. I can see it in my head. It sounds perfect!
Im just in love with your haul. All of it can work so well together and apart.
Sigh.
I bought the necklace.
Kimee--You're going to love all the stuff in the Factory store, it's so colorful and filled with happy colors and prints.
MrsE--Here's a pic of the 2 bangles together (I am tan, btw):
