Hi, Friends! These are a few of my favorite things. :)
I’ve long said that J.Crew Factory could be a person “one stop shop” for all needs in life, and this year’s collection definitely proves my point! I’ve rounded up my family’s favorite products—most of which have been in our closets for years—and I’m excited to share with you an incredible sale: 60-70 percent off everything, an extra 60 percent off already reduced clearance products with code “GIFTY,” and 70 percent off “Winter Faves.”
It’s almost too good to be true. Time to go shopping!

All the plaid
Cape-Scarf: YAY! J.Crew Factory brings this style back every few years, and I was excited to see it included in this season’s collection! Since it’s one-size-fits-all, it makes for a fantastic gift. I think it looks incredible paired with simple black leggings and an oversized black sweater.
Flannel Sleep Set: These are my favorite holiday pajamas. I won’t lie: I own a lot of Christmas PJs, haha. But these are the best! So soft and cozy, and come on. Stewart Tartan? It’s superior to all other tartans. ;) TTS.
Tissue Turtleneck: The Tissue Turtleneck is an everyday staple for me, as it’s such a great layering piece. (If you struggle with what to wear under blazers, you need this!) TTS.
Buffalo Skirt: I LOVE THIS! I’ve worn it so much this season. (Here’s a recent outfit post in which it’s featured.) TTS, but I did go up one size because I like to tuck chunky sweaters into skirts and I also love Christmas cookies a little too much.
Three-Tier Mini Skirt: This is currently in my cart. Paired with sheer black tights, black booties and a black ruffleneck sweater: Awesome holiday look.
Black Watch Bow Top: I mean, it’s plaid. And it has a bow.
Black Watch Pants: Every girl needs a good pair of festive black watch plaid pants! Yes, you’ll likely only wear them Thanksgiving through Christmas, but Factory’s prices are so good that they’re a no-brainer! Get read for all the “great pants!” comments. :)
Buffalo Ruffled Button-Down: It’s FLANNEL! (In years past, the ruffle tops were cotton.) The color is gorgeous and you’ll be warm. Here’s the Stewart version!
Plaid Scarf: This is in the “Shoes & Accessories” section, but gotta insert it here, too, since it’s my favorite scarf of the year. Wonderfully soft and really keeps the wind and chill off your neck. “White Juniper Plaid” is where it’s at, haha. But seriously: It’s a versatile plaid, as crazy as that statement makes me sound. I’ve worn it throughout the entirety of fall, and I plan on wearing though the winter, too. If you’re looking for something more Christmassy, though, the black watch is perfect. The pink and buffalo plaid are awesome, too. Honestly, just add all of them to your cart. 😜 They’re so affordable!
Solid Sweater Dress / Plaid Scarf (Original outfit post here.)

Sweaters
Solid Sweater Dress: YOU NEED IT! It’s no-itch, and it looks awesome with riding or over-the-knee boots. Such a huge fan. You can see me wearing it in this post. For sizing, I would likely recommend ordering your normal size or one size down. Mine is a tad big and wish I’d gone down a size!
Long Cardigan in Extra-Soft Yarn: This is a must. I can’t tell you how often I wear it! As I type this, it’s actually hanging off the back of my chair. It’s great for sweater over Tissue Turtlenecks (especially black!) and striped tops. Sizing: I usually order a small in tops and sweaters, but I went with an XS in this cardigan.
Ruffleneck Sweater: I somehow missed this while originally putting together this post, but had to go back in and add it. The ruffleneck sweater is so popular this season, and this one is a real steal!
Button Sweater in Extra-Soft Yarn: I adore the exact outfit that the model is wearing in this photo. 😆 So simple but A+.
Tartan Pullover Sweater: For all my girls who get far to cold for silky tops this time of the year. You can still sport that plaid and be toasty!
Classic Turtleneck Sweater: Another solid staple.

Comfort
Patterned Funnelneck Pullover: This is probably my #1 recommendation in this entire post! It comes in three patterns—each one better than the next—and it’s lined with this wonderfully soft and cuddly fleece-like material. (Yes, that’s the technical term for it. 😉) Sizing: I went up one size for a looser look. It’s fitted!
Cozy Turtleneck: I love J.Crew Factory’s “Cozy” line! The material is out of this world considering the price, and this new turtleneck is at the top of my list. I admittedly have a very serious turtleneck problem, but this one is different. 😜 (Be sure to check out the Black Jeggings and Denim Jeggings, too. They’re both from the Cozy line and such dreams.)
Cozy Jogger Sweatpants: They look stellar paired with white sneakers and a chambray button down. Fair warning, though: You’ll never want to take them off. Size down.
Cozy socks: Haven’t tried this yet but I’m just going to go ahead and say they’re consistent with the rest of the Cozy line!
Solid Cozy Funnelneck Pullover: This was unavailable for a long time, but since it was just re-stocked, I wanted to go back and add it in to this post. All the colors are great, but the gray is next level 2020.
Noodle Pajama Pants: Obviously worn with this Noodle t-shirt, haha.
Full-Length Black Leggings and Cropped Black Leggings: If you can find these in your size, they’re a ridiculous deal right now.
Printed Cropped Leggings: YES! I’m such a big fan of these in the both the leopard and the houndstooth. I go up one size so they feel like pajamas yet look like pants. (I’m a genius. I know.)
60-70 percent off everything, an extra 60 percent off already reduced clearance products with code “GIFTY,” and 70 percent off “Winter Faves.”
Everyday Basics
Striped Artist Tee: It goes with everything. (Especially that camel cardigan!) I go up one size since it’s fitted. Short-sleeved version here.
Soft Chambray Shirt: It’s really soft! Probably my favorite chambray shirt in my closet. Definitely the one I reach for the most. Size down. Runs large.
Black Jeggings: These are from the “Cozy” line, and they keep.you.warm. without adding bulk. Leggings meet jeans meet thermal, if you please. I order my normal size.
Denim Jeggings: Here they are in the denim wash!
City Coat: It’s a classic! Here’s the coat in herringbone, and here’s the more tailored Lady Coat version.
Tissue Turtleneck: I keep referencing this piece, but it has to be part of the “Everyday Basics” part of this post! Again, it’s just the perfect top to wear under cardigans and blazers. Tuck it into jeans, skirts or statement pants, too. You at least need it in black and white!
Corduroy Skirt: I can’t tell you how often I wear this! It was starting to get embarrassing, which is why I ended up buying the buffalo version, too. It’s the preppiest skirt in all the land, and I love pairing it with long-sleeved striped tees or chunky sweaters. TTS, but I went up one size so I could tuck those chunky sweaters in.
Gingham Button-Down: Mitch and I joke that we almost always wore these shirts to Summer House, a local restaurant whose wait staff wears them as uniforms. It’s so embarrassing. But that’s how often I wear a gingham button-down.

Dressy
Plaid Bow Top: Well, this is the second time I’m including it in this post so you know I love it. ;)
Tulle Skirt: To pair all those plaid tops with! I’ve actually never owned a tulle skirt before, but this one looks great, especially with that elastic waistband!
Foil Bow Top: Now THIS is a holiday top. Would also work so well for a (very tiny and socially distant) New Year’s Eve celebration!
Scalloped Camisole: I’ve owned this for years, and it’s a piece that I personally get year-round use out of. Even with a simple pair of dark jeans, it stands out! I own it in white and black.
Drapey Velvet Jamie Pants: These are FABULOUS! They’re pull-on, so they feel like sweatpants but look like fancy pants. I love them. TTS.

Accessories & Shoes
Plaid Scarf: GUYS. You need this! This is definitely my favorite scarf of the year. Wonderfully soft and really keeps the wind and chill off your neck. “White Juniper Plaid” is where it’s at, haha. But seriously: It’s a versatile plaid, as crazy as that statement makes me sound. I’ve worn it throughout the entirety of fall, and I plan on wearing though the winter, too. If you’re looking for something more Christmassy, though, the black watch is perfect. The pink and buffalo plaid are awesome, too. Honestly, just add all of them to your cart. 😜 They’re so affordable!
Pearl Bow Earrings: By far the best piece of jewelry I’ve seen this season. And the PRICE! The perefect stocking-stuffer.
Chunky Heel Leopard Pumps and Chunky Heel Black Pumps: These are pumps that’ll be in your closet for a decade. And frankly, if I could only choose one pair of heels to keep—not sure why I’d ever be faced with this type of a situation, but suspend disbelief for a second here 😆—the black pair would stay and all others would be packin’.
Pom Hat: Mitch and I recently went through the coat closet and decided to keep only two winter hats per family member, for the sake of organization. This was one of mine!
Booties: I wear my black booties with kickoff jeans, leggings and skirts. I tend to go up a half size in all booties just so I have the option of wearing thicker socks with them.
White Sneakers: They go with nearly everything these days!
Cap Toe Pumps: CAN’T RECOMMEND THESE MORE. They look so much like designer styles but are a fraction of the cost. I found that they run TTS.
Leopard Headband: This makes the simplest of outfits—think jeans and a black t-shirt—look polished, and make you seem super stylish. ;)
Multistrand Pearl Necklace: It’s a timeless J.Crew look!
Leopard Loafers: Much like the headband, these can level up the basic look.

Men’s (By Mitch)
Leather Money Clip: Mitch here! A wallet really makes for a great gift. I did, however, just recently ditch my giant old man wallet in favor of this money clip and I’m a lot happier.
Faux-Shearling Moccasins: Over the years, I’ve received countless moccasin gifts and while they were all very nice, it never really clicked that I should be wearing moccasin slippers. The clicking happened this year, though, not surprisingly. I now wear my Factory mocs all day, every day.
Fair Isle Sweater: I started out wearing loud fair isle sweaters to parties ironically, but now that there are no parties, I’ve been forced into some self-reflection while in self-isolation… which has resulted in me realizing that I actually love loud fair isle sweaters. Identity crisis coming, for sure.
Marled Cotton Sweater Cardigan: Taylor Swift doesn’t get to have all the fun! I have big plans for this cardigan to keep warm in my basement office all winter. I might even get the camel and the blue just to mix it up.
University Blazer: A brass-buttoned blazer is the linchpin of any preppy dude’s wardrobe. I wear Factory’s blazer all the time, or at least I did before 2020. And at $99, this is the best deal on the guide.
Slim Thompson Blazer: This blazer, however, is my most-worn. You can see me wearing it in this post! It’s a little more casual because of the wool blend, but makes me look like I tried. I recommend.

Kids’
Long-Sleeved Striped Tee: I put this under everything for the girls, and they truly get four seasons’ of wear out of theirs.
Puffer Coat: Emma’s had one since she was 2! It’s the warmest, coziest coat I’ve found and it’s worth every penny. The hot pink is so cute if you can snag one!
Turtleneck Knit Dress: A more casual and lightweight holiday dress, perfect for little girls who wear in warmer climates.
Tartan Dress: HOW COULD YOU NOT?! That giant bow. And the price. Please, make this your daughter’s holiday dress. You will not regret it! (I’m crazy.)
Turtleneck Knit Dress: A more casual and lightweight holiday dress, perfect for little girls who wear in warmer climates.
Ruffled/Tiered Striped Dress: I personally think that striped dresses are for year-round wear. That ruffle!
Bow Coat: My girls have this in yellow! (And I have the older women’s version in black. So timeless!)
Tartan Turtleneck: To match Mommy. :)
Corduroy Jumper: These are the CUTEST. Emma, Lucy and I all have them, haha. I can’t believe Factory restocked them, too! Seriously considering getting them in bigger sizes for next year, too. Obsessed.
