Weekly Share: Other JCrew-like Retailers

This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent" posts), where we can share our finds from other retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew (like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann Taylor, and the like.)

If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.

Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.

  3. Talbots has 25% off everything today.

    I can recommend this skirt (especially at $36.74!). It has cute buttons at the waist band which you can see if you zoom in, and pockets! It runs larger than J. Crew. I would go down 1 size from your no. 2 pencil skirt size - also consider ordering petite if you need a smaller size, as even the petite skirt is 22".

    I also love the dixie lace pencil skirt though it's a delicate skirt. I have this in navy too and it runs much more true to J. Crew sizing.

    Also, it doesn't come through online but the colors on this linen sweater are gorgeous. I have the mazarine blue and it's a lovely color (more heathered, less monochromatic than it looks online), but I'm reordering it in a PP because the regular XS is huge. As a non-petite, the sleeves may be too short, but I figure it probably doesn't matter with a style like this.

  4. Definitely check out Joe Fresh - there are some great items there for very good prices. They have done a series of silk shirts (similar to Equipment and JC's Blythe) in very pretty pastels and neons, only $39! I bought a really pretty shift dress in blue & white cotton jacquard, also $39 and excellent quality - I posted a pic on my blog.

  5. Boden is offering up some decent sales this week, an extra 30% of certain spring styles. (I took a look and made a few "picks" here at my blog.)

    They are also offering (have not done a blog post with my picks yet) a 20% off other items not included in the 30% off sale. You can find the items included in that by visiting Boden's homepage.

    To add to that, I also have a coupon in my blog's sidebar that will get you 15% off anything not in the above two sales. (The coupon says it is for new customers, but as far as I can tell, anyone can use it, the only thing new customers get is a beach bag in additon to the savings.)

    Also, if you do want to get free shipping and returns from either the 30% off sale or 20% off sale, you need to click on the 15% off coupon in my blog's sidebar. Even though it won't take off an additional 15% of the 20% or 30% (bummer, I know), it will allow those items to ship for free.

    I just used the coupon last night and it worked exactly as I expected on a few items I picked up for the mothers in my life. :)

    Sorry so long, just a lot of info here.

    1. Oops, this sentence "Even though it won't take off an additional 15% of the 20% or 30% (bummer, I know), it will allow those items to ship for free," should read:

      Even though it won't take off an additional 15% OFF the 20% or 30% (bummer, I know), it will allow those items to ship for free.

    1. ...should add that this is a new, ongoing policy; not a promo

  9. FYI, I got educator discount last week! The CSR also said Kate Spade outlets also offer same promo. Wish there was one near me!

  10. It is possible to purchase the Kate Spade bracelet online and this is a great benefit for anyone wishing to buy a present for the woman, since it is not very important to visit one of the stores.
