  2. I am thinking about going on Saturday, because I may be in town. Does anyone know if it'w worth it to go at the end of the week of the sale? Not sure if merch gets replenished or if it will be all picked through by Saturday.

  3. They usually replenish as the week goes on. You never know -- might find something!

    I went by this morning. Line was very short, maybe 20 peeps. Once again they had tables of shoes which was what I was really after. Saw a bunch of the Cadogan ankle boots as well as the MacAlister boots. Lots of heels and flats, mostly from summer but I wasn't interested because sale prices online will be better for those.

    Clothing wise it was the same ol' -- maybe a great item here and there but I didn't have the patience to look through. They also had a few bags from Madewell up on the wall (they were very shiny dark gold).

    I didn't buy anything this time around. I was really angry watching the resellers just shove shoe after shoe into their bags. That stuff really pisses me off.

  4. I went after work... only interested to check out the shoes section. So happy to find the Sahara suede boots in my size! Didn't see a lot of heels... more boots this time around. Short boots/booties are $129, tall boots $159, heels $99 & flats $65. You pay taxes for anything over $110. Saw the Starlight Sylvia heels, Metropolitan suede booties, Nottingham tall boots... the clothing section not so impressive. Many spring/summer dress, sweaters, and jackets. Not many coats. Mostly sample sizes, and yes I did see some samples being cut at the back. I say only go there if you want to get some boots.

  5. Bad news, sample sale a big bust. Same old grumpy annoying staff who don't do J Crew justice by arranging their merchandise in what looks like a 1985 mini version of a Ross Dress For Less. I didn't see many people buying alot of stuff - but who really gets excited to buy in a dingy space when there are people yelling in your ear "no tryons?" Everyone seemed to be going for the $10 t shirts, maybe a pair of shoes but rarely more than one. Embellished t's were $35, can get them cheaper at the store. I was there for a few hours, and didn't see one person who looked like they were getting many items, especially any persons who might be reselling. A reseller would have to think hard about buying any of the items there, especially the shoes, as they wouldn't make any money off them and you can get alot of them online for cheaper. Save your time, visit your local J Crew b & m store and take advantage of the sales. At least when you plunk down your money there, you will have been waited on by a nice staffer and your eardrums will still be intact.

  6. Thanks for sharing ladies! :) This sample sale sounds like the same event experienced the last few times. Too bad.

    Honestly, it's about time ClothingLine & J.Crew just reduced those sample sale prices to liquidate merchandise. It has to cost them less then paying for inventory fees & employees to run those (disappointing) events.
