If you are stopping by a J.Crew store this weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the SUMMER sale, or to see some new SUMMER arrivals {sigh!} in person, maybe you might be willing to share that with us in this post. In particular, if you could share with us a few of the noteworthy items that are available, at what prices, and potential sizes the store is carrying (as well as the store location)- that would be fantastic!Also, please let us know if your local store is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)
P.S. I noticed that many of you have already been reporting sale items (and in which stores) in other posts which by the way "thank you!" :) I really appreciate how helpful we are for each other!
Very likely, with out-of-town visitors. Review of the pencil skirt in snake print here.

I reviewed the bow cardigan in this post
I have a couple new fitting room posts up: polka dot tops and pencil skirts here, tees and sweaters (including a couple of brand-new arrivals)here!
ReplyDeleteIf you are petite, there is a Schoolboy Blazer in Prince of Wales wool for sale on the site now in size 00, for $99. If you take the %30 off, that's %70. Such a deal for a stunning blazer. I got mine on popback and love it and can't wait to wear it. I really hope someone from JCA picks it up.
ReplyDeleteAck! One more! The seahorse necklace is on sale on the site--add in the %30 discount and you get it for %70!!
ReplyDeleteOT-Madewell has 20% off summer styles (prices as marked) until Monday.
ReplyDeleteOT, but what did I miss re: Garance and J Crew? Is something brewing, like a collaboration? Or is she just modeling their clothes or styling their shoots...?
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is thinking about ordering the boy shirt in snowcat, I took my smaller size--4. I can wear a 4 or 6 in shirts. Hope this helps anyone who is interested.
ReplyDeleteAD MD, I had the same issue when I tried on in store. So ended up buying a 6 without 30% off and then yesterday bought the 4 and 6 with 30% off, so I can walk around in it and decide which one is a better fit. I thought it ran a little big.
DeleteI thought it ran big too, but for what it’s worth, I’ve never owned the boy shirt style before. I tried on my usual size 6 and it was big, but gaped between the buttons more so than the perfect shirts. Really liked the fabric and the pattern in person, but once on, the colors just didn’t compliment my skin tone, so didn’t bother with trying on the 4.
DeleteI found this to be the same with the oxford boy shirts that are not on sale. I take a 4 or a 6 in tops (6 on bottom), and my friend and an SA both said the 4 looked better.
DeleteWell heck, I ordered the snowcat shirt in my larger size and now I'm not sure that was the right choice. Shirt sizing is always an issue for me anyway. I'm larger in the bust so fitted shirts tend to pull over the chest, but loose, shapeless shirts make me look big all over. Plus, sleeves are almost always too long for my stubby arms and I'm not fond of rolling up the sleeves. I spend a fortune on alterations.
DeleteSpeaking of alterations, I ordered a couple Liberty print shirts. (Yes, at full price. Don't judge me.) The sleeves are at least three inches too long for me. I compared them to some older Liberty print shirt in my closet and the sleeves of the new shirts are at lease two inches longer than the older shirts. Are they making the sleeves longer? Has anyone else noticed this? I'm not too excited about paying $150 for a shirt plus paying to alter it. :(
Please tell you have done this.....I returned something to J. Crew yesterday and then in the middle of the night I woke in a sweat. WWAAA! I want that back! I called this morning at 8:30 am and (phew) it's still there. WHAT is wrong with me? I have a terrible habit of guiltyly rushing back returns then 2 weeks later wishing I had the item. I have to trust my initial jut instinct....it's always right. GEEZ!
ReplyDeleteYou are hilarious (if maybe just a little crazy)! I totally have a JC problem but I cannot help you here -- have never done this! (But that may be just because I keep far more than I should...)
DeleteI have NEVER done that. My problem is that I hate to schlep items back to the store on the train, so I try to rationalize keeping items that aren't particularly flattering and I'll rarely wear. If I return something immediately, you know it's truly awful.
DeleteIf you love classic vintage inspired clothing and outfits check out this gorgeous woman's blog. She is my new style icon! I've been looking at her gallery pictures and drooling. I want a wardrobe like hers!

OT but is anyone else uncomfortable looking at the pic of the girl on the jcrew homepage in the blue liberty shirt buttoned all the way up w/ the junior mints? I don't know if its the full button up, her expression, the hair, placement of her hands, probably a combo all of the above, but it is a super awkward photo and doesn't get me at all excited about what else is on the site. Yikes!!!
ReplyDeleteLol, agreed. It's not an inviting photo.
DeleteMore praise for online customer service. I talked with a nice rep this morning. After chatting for awhile, he placed my order which was only $49.99, gave me free shipping and the SHOPNOW discount making the item $34.99. WOW! I so impressed every time I talk to an online rep. They're great!
ReplyDeleteI got free shipping on a pre-order too! Well right now it doesn't have shipping, I wonder if i'll be charged when it "gets released"
DeleteElaine....where did you see Garance modeling, etc. I'm curious. TIA!
ReplyDeleteOn JC's facebook page there are many photos of her wearing Crew, and I think one of the captions said "as she's scouting locations" or something like that ... I assumed they meant for them and not for herself, but I could br wrong.
DeleteAnd I thought I heard rumblings last week about the Crew and Garance but I've had a crazy week and I can't recall what was said. :(
You can see the Hello World... on JCrew's site here: JCrew Hello, World, or go to JCrew's website and type "Hello World" in the search box.
DeleteNot much sale stuff in Charleston, SC. Odds and ends - tiniest sale area ever! I did get the polka dot pants, the naomi polka dot top (rang up 20% off), and the optic dot shirt (price adjusted to online price). It's tax-free weekend here. :) My PS had already called in several orders for items that have sold out.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the tippi color block cardigan. I really want the navy/green one. However, with how much I spent today and the fact that it will be months before I can wear merino, it will wait.
math teacher - Tell Billy I said hi. lol You have a winner there :)
DeleteThanks, gigi, I will. He's the best!
DeleteJust popped in a local store and I did not see anything on sale. I did notice many solid cashmere sweaters and as this is not a store that ever had cashmere before, I wonder if they are now stocking cashmere in all of the stores. Interestingly enough, when I looked online to check the color names, I noticed that all of the cashmere sweaters are designated as "Collection" sweater. I never noticed that before. I might have to check the label the next time I am in a store.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the other day online. I hope it doesn't mean collection pricing will go into effect on all cashmere. There have been enough price increases the past couple seasons....
DeletePricing on their cashmere is SO high! The turtleneck is $200. I don't recall them being that much last year. I mean. $200 on a sweater?
DeletePathos- agreed. I only shop cashmere on sale. I can swallow $100-ish but definitely not FP. I think the long sleeve tees used to be around 138. Then 158. 168 last season and now 188. All the while quality has been dropping.
DeleteI noticed that "collection" name on the cashmere tees, too. *eye roll*
DeleteI agree, Pathos. It seems that JC cashmere is frequently on sale for less than $99, so I see no point in paying full price. Actually, I already have so much cashmere in my closet that I don't need any more even at deep discount.
I have to vent. I wear 7.5 and ordered my JC pumps size of 8 in the anchor print Monas. They didn't fit & I'm guessing I need 8.5 or 9 based on how I couldn't get my foot into the 8 at all. I figured 8.5 would be snug, but I wouldn't be able to walk, so I've been looking for the 9s to pop back. I couldn't keep staring at the 9.5s just sitting there, so I ordered them. What is wrong with me? Going up a full 1.5 size higher? But, the toe is Betty Boop small in every Mona I've tried and I'm a regular M width. I'm hoping the 9.5 work out. I also had coffee today. Probably also not the best idea. Thank you for reading, JCAs. lol
ReplyDeleteGigi, you crack me up. I hope the shoes fit you, but one and a half sizes up is a lot. Hopefully you can return them if they don't fit.
DeleteThanks, Rose, I hope they do, too. I'll be posting or tweeting on the outcome. ;)
DeleteToo funny! I hope they work for you, but it will be sad if they do. Shoes shouldn't run that small.
Deletemath teach - lol! that's true, it will be good for me, but very sad if they fit
DeleteAudreys....I'm certifiable. HA! I know there will be a very fashionable wing in the looney bin when I'm finally committed for this crazy addiction! At least I'll have lots of friends there with me....hee!
ReplyDeleteJust went to return the Altazurra Sabrina dress at J. Crew on Prince, NYC, there's no sale section at all and no promotions. On another note, I went to Madewell on Broome and the green/white striped canvas sidewalk skimmers are on sale for $29.99. No extra discounts or % off sale at that store.
ReplyDeleteIn mid-June the Sartorialist announced that he & Garance had been travelling and photographing style icons (not my words) for j.crew. Google is just coming down with links. The project is called "Hello world."
ReplyDeleteJ. Crew has some of the pictures on their Facebook.

Hmm. Very SS/GD - including the perpetual attractive-person-on-bike.
LOL over the bike comment. He's so cool he rides hands off too.
Deleteinnnnnnnnnteresting. wonder what will come of this and if it will affect their offerings at all...?
ReplyDeleteWell.....I guess I'm the only one that had to size up one size from my Perfect shirt size to get the shoulders/arms to fit on the Snowcat Boy Shirt. Then of course the body was huge. I passed on it. So if you have larger shoulders and upper arms you may want to try this one on for size.
ReplyDeleteToday while in Macy's completely undressed in the dressing room an evacuation message came over the PA system. The message said there was an emergency and everyone had to vacate immediately. Then the sales gals started calling out and knocking on all the doors telling us to hurry and leave! Why, oh why did I wear a blouse AND a skirt that both buttoned/snapped up the front! As I'm running out the store I'm thrusting a skirt in the sales ladies face yelling..."Hold this for me!". As I was standing out in the mall waiting to go back in the store I wondered if this was a message from the universe telling me lay off the shopping. Turns out no employee or customer went postal, just a weird smell like burning electrical. No biggy. Takes more than that to keep me away.
ReplyDeleteLol!! You are too funny :)
DeleteStraycat, you crack me up. I think we are all realizing why that Snowcat is on sale with 30% off, it is a strange fit for most.
DeleteI checked my stores today and sales stuff is either totally gone or there is just a bit of stuff left. I saw that sundress with the big anchors, shorts, odd and ends. I stopped by Talbots and they are having really great sales. Items are 50 to 75% off. I got a dress I had admired in the spring but couldn't justify at $128.00 for $31.00. They have lots of great dresses, skirts....everything really discounted. Check it out!
ReplyDeleteCate.....Seriously, the first thought in my mind (after...LORD, I'm almost naked and there's an evacuation !!) was that some nutter couldn't use their 20% off coupon on full price Ralph Lauren (frankly this has driven me almost to an act of terrorism) and had gone over the edge. HA! Thankfully everything was fine and I got my skirt....sale Ralph Lauren and yes, I used my 20% off coupon.
ReplyDeleteOh it wasn't even J. Crew you were putting on hold, I missed that part about the store you were in lol!
Delete@straycat - LOL You are cracking me up! Thank you for the laughs. :) Not being able to use the 20% off coupon on RL also drives me crazy. :)
ReplyDeletejan.....Hee! Glad to give you a giggle! I find lots of killer deals at Macy's so I can't complain. But everything I want to buy is excluded on those coupons....until it goes on sale. Then you can really clean up. I'm always stocking the Ralph Lauren section and the handbags. I've gotten alot of my expensive bags at Macy's on sale with additional off. It's too good.
ReplyDeleteI will have to go to JCrew because I have to return the Viv Patent leather in animal print. I ordered an 11 and they sent me a 9 1/2....So disappointed as I was looking forward to getting them. Now 11's sold out and they can't locate it.
ReplyDeleteHello Dina---I have been searching for the Viv animal print in a 9 1/2...When you return the 9 1/2, can you ask them to hold them for me and I'll call in to purchase and have them send them to me?? I really would appreciate it! :) Please let me know which store to phone. Thank you! You can reply here or at asisterthing2012@gmail.com Thank you! :)
DeleteThere was next to nothing on sale at my J.Crew.
ReplyDeleteI ended up buying the oxford boy shirt in polka dot, and the material is really lovely. Not thrilled that it's made in China, though.
Has anyone seen/tried on the Janey patent flats? I am really wondering how they fit. They are so pretty, but I'm worried the patent is quite stiff. And that the shoe runs narrow. Any help would be mucho appreciated.
Also, has anyone seen the Factory Dorset purse in person? Is it a crossbody strap?
DeleteI tried them on, well, I took it off the shelf and stuck my foot in it tho it was 2 sizes too big. I wouldn't say the patent is stiff at all they reminded me of the patent ballet or in between that and the pumps. I have super narrow feet so can't fairly say. I'm going tomorrow to try my real size.
DeletePathos, let me know how they fit you tomorrow. If they fit your narrow feet well, chances are, they will not fit mine.
DeleteThe patent is stiff but I thought they fit TTS. I have a wide foot. I thought they were comfortable but I haven't taken them out for a spin yet.
DeletePhoebe, the dorset is not a cross body, It is a long strap but I don't think it would work for a cross body, unless perhaps if you are very petite.
DeleteThanks for the help Cate and J.CrewJD! I might have to check the flats out since you didn't find them to be too narrow. And I'll definitely pass on the Dorset...was really hoping it was a crossbody.
DeleteI love your shopping story, Straycat! As for me--I was going to the subway, walking past the BR on 5th Avenue when I saw a sign that read: "40% off till 1PM." It was 12:45. I went in and joined the madness. Lots of great stuff--BR has improved IMHO. Crazy shopping--and great prices.
ReplyDeleteBut this meant I ran out of time to go to JCrew. Will have to try again.
Phoebe....I have the Janey flats on there way. I'll report here how they fit. I really hope they aren't two sizes too big! That sounds crazy!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Thanks! I hope they fit, too. I suppose I can order them via red phone and return them if they don't fit. The sole J.Crew in my city doesn't have them in and probably won't.
DeleteI thought they fit TTS. I hope they fit you!
DeleteI went to my B&M here in Miami and tried on the Janey flats. I loved them! I typically wear a 9.5 in all my J Crew shoes but I needed a 9 in these. When I tried them on, I had a slight gap in the heel and the patent leather has a lot of give and if I had taken the 9.5, I would have ended up with them being way too big after a few wears. I am not sure of the fit of cheetah print ones though. They may be different since the material differs. Hope this is helpful!
DeleteUnknown....That was great luck coming on that sale! I had the same feeling today in Talbots. I really liked alot of what I saw. I bought the cutest capris. They are higher waisted than the Cafe Capri which are pretty low on me, they are a little longer too. They're called the Signature Fit Linked-Square ankle pant. They fit perfectly, are super flattering, love the print and the piping all around the waist and on the slit on the side of the hem. And only 79.50. Yah....not $150.00 like some of JC's capris. I'm going to start watching Talbots for more prints in the style of pant. I bought two dresses, a skirt and the capris for $180.00. SCORE!
ReplyDeleteStraycat, I looked up those capris online and they look so cute. May have to make a trip to Talbots. How did your size in those compare to your Jcrew size?
DeleteWent to my B&M in downtown SF today. Bought myself the stripe skirt in orange stripe, and was honored the extra 30% on top of the sale price, yay! The store didn't have anymore summer items on sale. Very, very few items on sale. They must've shipped a bulk of it back to the warehouse. As far as the early fall items, I tried to love it, but it's not working for me, I wasn't feeling any of it. The matchstick jeans are cute but it's been made by every designer throughout the earlier part of spring and summer, from all price point, done with seeing it for fall. I really can't wait for September's roll out. It's like waiting for Vogue's September issue, thick and full of yummy fashion pictures. 3 MORE WEEKS to go!!!!
ReplyDeleteActually there's a few things I like-the zig zag top in blk/wht, the silver Valentinas, the t-strap cap toe pumps...I just don't want to get too obsessed, knowing September will have better merchandise.
DeleteMy ps said there will be more new merchandise coming in on the 13th so I am holding out to use my rewards card.
DeleteIs there still a Crewcuts sale section at Columbus Circle or Soho? Today is my only shot to go before Labor Day and I need vacation stuff for my daughter. TIA!
ReplyDeleteYou probably already went, but Columbus Circle still had a very small sale section for Crewcuts. It's the same stuff thats been around for awhile, and no extra % off. Everything fit on the short wall in the section designated for sale.
DeleteShopping Celle....About the Talbots capris. I took the same size I wear in the Cafe Capri. I'm going back to Talbots today because I saw the same style of pant in a fine denim. I've been looking for a dresser jean pant. It's very vintage inspired and feminine and I like that. Plus I like ankle length because I wear flats and ballets 99% of the time and they look cute with capris and ankles. I'll let you know how the demin pants work out. Have fun shopping!
ReplyDeleteThanks for size info and the denim ones sound great too. Now I will have to try to talk my daughter into a stop there while looking for back to school clothes. She hates when I stop and look for myself. Maybe I can bribe her with dippin dots from the shop right across from Talbots.
DeleteI have to bribe my daughter like that too! My son is my good shopper, lol!
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteShopping Celle.....I just got the Talbot's denim pants. The SA told me that Signature Fit just refers to how high they go up on the waist. I sized up to a 10 in the denim. The 8 was way too tight. A little diffent cut, really flattering and classic. I'm trying to buy things that are more classic. I wore a dress today that I got on sale at Talbots and I got alot of compliments. It's called the Marlo Halter dress. I got it in a pretty kelly green. It's online, but that color seems to be sold out. It's 98 degrees here today and it was perfect for running errands.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping I can drop by Talbots this weekend. Thanks Straycat!
ReplyDeleteA question about the zigzag sequin tee--is anyone running into the problem where there normal size is a tad too small but the next size up is way too big? I'm not sure how the shirt is supposed to fit--tighter or looser. I've talked to two SAs and they haven't been able to help.
ReplyDeleteAD MD - I would try 1 or 2 more of your regular size and 1 or 2 more of the next size. Sometimes a size M will fit different between two garments. Someone mentioned cost cutting measures w/stacking copious amts of fabric when cutting the pattern. It explains why two size Ms can fit differently. I do think the zigzag runs on the tighter side up top, near the shoulders which is maybe why you went up. I would wear it on the loose side, personally. I think it's very cute, but it *is* borderline costume-y, imo.
DeleteI didn't notice a difference with the shirt at my store, but I think it is supposed to fit just a bit boxy. So probably more on the looser side than tighter. However, if it's so loose that it's hanging like a tent, then the best option might be to try on some others in the same size to see if they did cut them differently. You could always get it tailored, too.
DeleteI will try a couple more of them! My only problem is my stores sold out of them so fast that they only had a couple on the rack! I actually had to order the size small! I'm afraid this may not be the shirt for me, but I love it too much!
DeleteAM MD - Here are some irl pic reviews that will probably help:
Delete* Fabulous Florida Mommy
* Pink Peonies
* Wendy's Lookbook
Not sure if this will help, but I remember seeing Wendy from Wendy's Lookbook wear this top recently. She tucked it in, so it can't be too loose, but it doesn't look particularly tight either. I would post the direct link but my phone isn't letting me... it's the July 27th post on www.wendyslookbook.com
DeleteI really think that shirt is cute, but I just keep thinking "Charlie Brown" every time I see it.

I went to the new store in downtown Washington, DC. They're still running their store opening promotion (spend $250, get a free Timex watch). I enjoyed browsing the new collection but I didn't buy anything since (1) I only shop the sale section and there wasnt't any and (2) I can't bear to try on cashmere sweaters when it's 95 degrees outside!
ReplyDeleteMorning!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to use my 20% off order coupon, which expires tonight (Aug. 5) at 11:59 p.m. EST. Here's the one-time use code up for grabs: ACWLF2RMN
Better than SHOPNOW if you've only got full-price items in your cart.
Please reply back to this message once you've used it to let others know! Happy shopping!
Is anything in the dark pumpkin print available in the factory stores still, or did it all go to clearance? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have a favor to ask, can anyone with a good, responsive VPS refer me their contact info? I tried signing up for one in my area and they contacted me quickly (through email), but after I made my request for the item that I am looking for, they did not respond back again (its been 48 hrs). I don't know if I am doing something wrong and they don't do searches for on sale products? Anyway, if there is a chance, I want to try again before the SHOPNOW promotion is over. If anyone can be so kind to give me a reply here or email tammy_1412 at yahoo dot com. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAudrey's code doesn't work. I think somebody's already used it. If there's anybody has a 20% FP code and won't be using it, will you be so kind and share it with me? email me at issylovescrew[at]gmail[dot]com. Thanks a lot!--Issy
ReplyDeleteAnd if there's still another (Issy was first!), please email it to me at wellfedfred@verizon.net
DeleteThanks!
I stopped at Rockfeller Center yesterday and saw the worst hookup in the (short) history of JCrew hookups: the snowcat boyshirt worn with the Bennet chinos in the same print. Terrible (at least it was a mannequin and not a SA)!
ReplyDeleteThey had a small sale rack with a few anchor dizzy dresses, a lot of the lime eyelet pencil skirts an some jeans (no 30% off).
I got to try on the new colorblock Jules, pics coming soon...
they had that on a mannequin at my store too and I also thought it looked really bad.
DeleteReview of the colorblock sequin tank in this post.
ReplyDeleteHI!!! I am new here and a DIE hard JCrewer!!!! Almost all my clothes are from here...classic and professional..AND FUN!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, I took a leap and bout the Schoolboy blazer in Prince of Wales wool ...got a great deal on it online ...$69.99!!!! Can't wait to get it.
So, I also ordered the selvedge matchstick denim. It is on order until 8/27. Does anyone have this jean? It seems to run big from the measurements so I hope I ordered correctly.
They do run big. I bought them when they cam out and I sized down one but they still felt loose in the waist, which is typical for me and matchsticks.
DeleteThis should probably be under Looking to Love...but I had to share. I placed an order on Thursday (one of 3 but that's beside the point) that included a sale priced Cashmere Tee in Neon Pink. I received an email overnight saying "Sorry...No longer in stock...cancelling order...blah blah blah...". OK I said. I'll order it in the Neon Peach, no biggie. Then, around noon, I get a call from J Crew. The guy on the other end said, basically, "Sorry we had to cancel the Neon Pink tee order but we have a similar color from our Fall Collection, the Neon Fuschia. It's almost the same color and we'll offer it to you at the sale price plus the 30% off." Hells yes!
ReplyDeleteI've never had that happen before. Quite cool actually, IMO. Anyone else ever had that experience?
And, before this promo ends on Tuesday, I'm contemplating a 4th order. I was so good for so long, then...WHAM! All my sale list items were on sale and with a promo. Grrrrr...
That's so wonderful of them to do that!!!
DeleteI hear ya on the sale.. going in for order three....debating over the Mona coloblock pumps....thoughts?
Not enabling...but I love the Mona's. Personally, I'd go for the Heatherd Plum but I like a statement on my foot. The black is a great classic and the best thing is after this whole "colorblock" trend is over they'll be back to calling them cap-toe shoes.
DeleteThe black one is in my cart....:)
DeleteI was thrilled to pick up a blazer for only 70 bucks (regularly 329) so I can justify this...:) But, I also got both colors of the heart sweaters...
PLUS a Dooney satchel in Florentine leather..I am in the Fall mode even though it is 98 degrees!
Well, you twisted my rubber arm... now if I could only find a nice pair of boots and a tweed mini pencil skirt.
Can I just add the Lucille dress looks so so much better on the body than in the picture or on the hanger! I got it in green and hot pink...I wore the pink to work last week and I literally got 15 compliments..a few from total strangers!
DeleteThe green is nice, too..the stylist convinced me to use a strawberry pink skinny belt with it..so cute.
Audrey- does the promo end Sunday night or Tuesday? Tia!
DeletePathos - Ebates shows this code ends on Tuesday. "Now through Tuesday, enjoy an extra 30% off final sale* items at jcrew.com. Use code: SHOPNOW. (Exp. 08/07/2012)"
DeletePopped in just to *look* at the new stuff. Yeah, right! LOL! I tried on a bunch of stuff. I absolutely LOVE that brown giraffe? print blouse w/the navy along the sleeve hems and bottom of the shirt. I really want that one. Do you all think it'll sell quickly? I tried on the snakeprint skirt and it really is lovely. I truly don't have use for it, so I probably won't be buying it, but I thought it looked good on. Tried the Tippi cardigan and wasn't wowed. They have a new olive cargo type pant that I also really liked, but will definitely wait that out for sale. Tried on some other odds and ends, but those were the things I remember.
ReplyDeleteStraycat, i went through Talbots on my way out of the mall. Even after bribing my daughter with dippin dots she was in no mood for me to browse. Saw those cute navy caprIs and I love the binding around the hem. Didn't get to try on but truthfully I was ready to get the heck out of the mall. It was packed with everyone and their brother buying for back to school.
ReplyDeleteJust had a thought. Remember back in April when they had the 2 secret codes that never appeared on Jcrew's web site. 3 days after the 2nd secret code ended, a real code showed up on the Jcrew site. Wonder if that will happen this time too The pop back I am stalking hasn't happened in my size yet. Of course it did show up when there was no extra % off. Maybe there is hope that my size will reappear when a 30% code is valid if another code is on the way.
ReplyDeleteMy selvedge jeans are finally shipping...three weeks later...woohoo, just in time for vacation.
ReplyDelete
