Guess what item is on uber-sale? It's the Signature Tee (Item 30459; $45.00), which is now on sale for $14.99 (before any discount)! You might remember this top from the "Questionable Item of the Week: Signature Tee" post. I am guessing it did not sell as well as they hoped...Plus, the STYLEFIND promotion for an additional 30% off sale is available, both online and brick & mortar (B&M) stores. Yey for that too! :)
Incidentally, has anyone else notice that J.Crew's shipping department is awesome lately? They are fulfilling orders quickly. Love it! :)
Did you check out the Final Sale section today? Were you able to snag any amazing deals? If so, please share! :)
Ordered the COLLECTION EMBELLISHED RAGLAN SWEATSHIRT
ReplyDeleteIn two sizes to try out since it is not final sale.
So much for staying away from Final Sale. In a semi-concious state, I whirlwinded my way to a very large, half final sale order.
ReplyDeleteWhat my haul looked like this morning:
a couple mini-gingham perfect shirts (FinalSale), Saturday pant in hthr khaki (FS), a couple Tippis (I need to stop with those, FS), Sequin-trim tennis dress (FS), cashmere polka dot in Navy lilac (FS).
No.2 in geometric print, Cafe capri in jaquard dot (a huge love for me & a Purchase-Return-Repurchase), hacking jacket in sheer mint (FS & PRR), cotton-silk Lucille dress in festival green, toothpick cord in sea salt (I have been watching for this color to go on sale for forever) & Martina suede wedges in bluebird. Whew!
JC early morning sale updates wake me up way better than my daily cup of tea.
Alexis, I love that I get my orders in three days. It's almost instant gratification!
D*ska: It really is close to instant gratification- a 3 day turnaround is amazing! :)
DeleteD*ska, whew what a haul for you! Thanks for the headsup about the graphic #2 pencil not being fs. I have been wanting it forever and was hoping the price would come down more. I ordered it this morning so that way I'll have it. If it goes lower in price I'll reorder. Also bit on the pink neon gingham shirt after Whitney's review thinking it will be great for spring.
DeleteJust got an email from Factory touting up to 60% off sweaters and knits, so I hoped on over. Not impressed. Prices are as marked and at those prices for cashmere and merino, I'll stick with retail, thanks. The sale is online only and ends tomorrow. Also GETMORE gets you 30% off Final Sale.
ReplyDeleteJruby18, I replied toward the end of the Reviews post about the denim shorts (couldn't reply to the post for some reason so my reply is at the bottom).
ReplyDeleteBit on the Minnie pants in petunia (so much for getting over my Minnie addiction...) and the Ramona dress in green--very pretty and looks like it could be worn year round.
ReplyDeleteI did notice the update this morning, but haven't ordered yet since the coat I'm considering is on promo and has plenty of stock left.
ReplyDeleteAlong with the update this morning, there are several new promo-priced items, as well as some that were marked down, and even several 2nd/3rd markdowns, too. I've noted them all here, and the list of additional promo items & markdowns is here, as well.
I wish there were some additional slashes on coats! So many have been lingering around Final Sale without any traction; an additional cut on the Toggle Coat with Thinsulate would totally sway me. Not yet, though; even with the 30 percent, $180 still seems high for an online-only item I would be buying without never having tried on ...
ReplyDeleteHas ANYONE done a review of the cashmere tee dress?? I can't find anything on here or with google! The price right now is awesome, and they have Heather Poppy in my size, but I'm hesitant to buy on FS without some reviews on sizing and color. Decisions, decisions.....
ReplyDeleteI bought one last year and love it, I feel it runs true to size. Very comfortable too. It looks like its the identical style to the one this year. Mine is also the Heather Poppy color (red), its a true red to me (I wore it to Christmas and several University of Alabama game functions which I would not have done if it were not a true red in my opinion). Again my was purchased last year but they look identical to me.
DeleteI love the cashmere tee dress too, but it is short. Midthigh on me at 5'10". I wear it more as tunic with pixie pants. I think that unless you want it to be tight, get the larger of your usual sizes if you are between sizes. I have multiples of this dress in size medium which is perfect, even though most of my cashmere sweaters from J.Crew are smalls.
Delete@Julie, I *think* ShopwithM did a review of the cashmere tee dress and liked it. Check out her fab blog!
ReplyDeleteWell, I was going to order the denim shorts b/c they were on promo, and thus returnable. As of this AM, they are no longer on promo, and back to FP of $79.50, a ridiculous price to pay for a pair of jean shorts! I am sure I can find them at a fraction of that cost and that they'll be just as good. Actually, I'm glad that happened b/c even at $59.50 minus 30%, I still thought that was a little high.
I had been going back and forth for months on buying those denim shorts specifically because the price is so high! $80 is silly. I finally bought them with last week's promo because I wore out my last pair of home-made denim cutoffs last summer and all the cheapie ones I found in stores were too short. Or they had rhinestones on the pockets, and I don't wear rhinestones on my pockets.
DeleteI hear ya on that. I'm hoping I can find some somewhere before March!
DeleteOT but just a quick comment to say ShopAtHome cash back is at 9.5% today.
ReplyDeleteOh, and that I love the stadium cloth duffle coat. I have it in dark artichoke AND navy now, which is a little silly, but I couldn't resist at about $114 after promo and cash back.
Hi Cate, does the coat run tts? I teeter between 00 and 0 and unsure of which size to get. TIA!
DeleteHeather - I think it does but I'm a bad judge because I'm pregnant so nothing fits like it normally does. I'm a size 2 in most J. Crew but ordered this coat in a 4 for layering over blazers and such. It still just barely zips over my 6 month pregnant belly.
DeleteSee shopwithm's detailed review here.
I had to reorder some skirts that I bought the wrong size in. If anyone is interested I have a size 4 Sterling Skirt in Double-Serge Wool in Retro Jade, $60 shipped and a size 4 No. 2 Pencil skirt Corkscrew Tweed in Vibrant Fuchsia, $60 shipped. If interested email everydayetm (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteFYI, the stores switched to 40% off as of this morning. I lost on the striped cash sweater that I bought with 30% off but won on the assorted flower Liberty shirt in blue/white that I had put on hold and got today (which is btw still fp but they honored the website price plus 40% off)
ReplyDeleteI was about to order the metro coat in retro jade because I really want a green coat. Does anyone know if that color really is more of a blue?
ReplyDeleteAlso -- and I know this has been explained here quite a few times -- how do you check to see how many items have been added on any given day to the sale section?
I don't have the coat, but I have the wool Jules dress in Retro Jade and its definitely more of a turquoise, its very pretty in my opinion but I don't think it would qualify as a green color.
DeleteI think it's closer to the greens than to the blues. The website colour seems turquoise on my monitor, but IRL it has a bit more green in it.
DeleteGot my lady day in antique white and it was totally worth waking up at 5am on Monday for! The coat is gorgeous and the color is so elegant. I'd been eying it all season, but when I saw it on Royal Pains, I knew I had to have it.
ReplyDeleteWhile on my winter white kick, I've also been thinking about the toothpick cords in sea salt that just got marked down today. Not sure the price is quite right yet. Although the mention of 40% in stores is appealing!
Finally ordered my Stadium Cloth Duffle after debating for a week. I really appreciated the good reviews from several JCAs. Added some backordered PJs as a ride along.
ReplyDelete40% off in store. Cecelia leather flats in boulevard green 29.99 & Mcallister shearling wedges 77.99 after 40% off, sizes 7, 8 & 9 at international mall in Tampa
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the tip! I just ordered a pair of Ceces and had them shipped to me.
DeleteDo people like the Metro coat or Lady Day coat better? I might get a long coat this week, and have never tried these on?
ReplyDeleteI have the Metro coat in camel and love it! Probably the best coat I've ever owned. It has such a clean and refined silhouette. I don't have the Lady Day but it looks very similar to Metro.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThey are very similar. I've tried both and can't say the fit is really that different. I found the metro coat to flare out a tad bit from the hips and a tab bit longer than lady day. Also, metro has the flap pockets.
DeleteThanks....I'm leaning toward the Metro as it's more "down to earth" if that makes sense. I just got a 2nd Duffle coat, more casual I guess is my style.
DeleteI bit on a very rare pop back of the calf hair MacAlistair wedges in my size! I was so excited to see these. Still pricey even with the promo but IMO worth it b/c they are hard to find and I love the wedges I have in the nut color. So comfy. I think there was only one other size available and they sold out in minutes.
ReplyDeleteI saw those one morning! I knew they weren't going to be there but a second or two before someone snapped them up! :-)
DeleteThank you, katertott (for some reason I cannot use the reply feature here). Retro jade looked more like retro turquoise to me, too. I just wanted to be sure. That is an awesome color even if it isn't green so I'll probably order it anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy store was extra 40% off as well.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the Cocoon Coat is on sale in store in Heather Stone?
ReplyDeleteIt was not in my B&M. None of the Cocoon Coats were, actually. But my B&M didn't have any wacky colors...just neutrals.
DeleteLizT: The Cocoon coats were not on sale at my store, either.
DeleteThanks, I can't decide whether to wait and see if Heather Stone goes on sale or order the grey. I tend to look better in gold tones than silver...or I may wait to see if the Metro coat in Camel pops back.
ReplyDeleteI stopped by my store today to make a return, and they are running the extra 40% off, as well. The sale section was not as full as I've seen it in the past, but there was still quite a bit of merchandise.
ReplyDeleteFor those looking or interested: there were 4 pair of the Fair Isle leggings (navy) in sizes small, large, and Xlarge. I believe they were marked to $59.99 before the 40% off. They had the Lace-printed sweatshirt in small, medium, and large plus an xsmall on the mannequin across from the registers. They were marked $49.99 before the 40% off. There was one Fair Isle ski sweater in size xsmall for $99.99, and one Herringbone quilted vest size Xlarge for $79.99 before the discount. There was one size 2 Liberty perfect shirt in claire-aude priced at $49.99, and numerous Liberty perfect shirts in wiltshire in varying sizes for $49.99, as well. (All prices before 40% off.) They were all at the Orlando store in Mall at Millenia: phone 407-226-9732.
I didn't purchase anything in the store, but did have my PS place an order for a Lady Day coat in black for me. The last time I traveled up north in the winter I had to borrow a coat, so I decided that at this price I will get a coat in a classic silhouette and color to have for any future trips I need to take. Plus it isn't final sale.
I forgot to mention that there was one Invitation clutch in glitter (black/silver) for $49.99 before the extra 40% off.
Deleteahh,, you are so awesome with your updates and reviews. so wish you lived near me!
DeleteAny thoughts on lady day jacket in navy tweed? Looks good on the website but for $139, it's just as much as a coat! Any of you have it?
ReplyDeleteI have the Lady Jacket in Gilded Tweed and love it! The quality is excellent. Not sure how it compares to the navy tweed but I think it is one of those classic items you can wear for years.
Deletebella: There were a bunch of them at the Orlando store today. I didn't get the chance to look at them well, so I cannot offer an opinion on fit or quality, but wanted to let you know since they may be marked down further in store plus the additional 40% off. If you decide to get one, it may be worth a try calling the store first to find out the price, and then see if they have your size.
DeleteFabulous mommy, thanks! i will try calling them tomorrow.
DeleteLizT: what do you wear your gilded tweed with? the sales lady said i can even wear the jacket with a tee shirt. really? i am concerned about the practicality of the piece since i am a stay at home mom,,,, how often do you get to wear it?
I have it - definitely take FFM's advice and find it in store. It's a lot cheaper instore. Rose did a review here:
Deletehttp://1moreshoppingblog.blogspot.ca/2012/09/j-crew-september-iv.html?m=1
The Gilded Tweed is very gold so wearability is some what limited, but I view it as a special piece. I paired it with my Merino Turtleneck in Camel and skinny jeans and it looks great. IMO it looks best dressed down with jeans and a turtleneck or T Shirt. I also tried it with Minnie pant and it looked good. I was surprised just how many things it goes with in my closet. I am a SAHM too, so basically I see myself wearing it out to dinner, the theatre, etc.
DeleteLizT
DeleteThanks so much for the info! They are holding one for me at the store. I will go try it on. I vowed not to buy any more "stuff" but within the last two weeks, I bought three coats (all jcrew!) and this jacket will make #4!!!!
LizT-Are the Gilded Tweed available in stores and are they a lower price in store?
DeleteMy husband bought mine at the Eaton Centre store (Toronto) while on a business trip...he was the one that actually picked it out for me for Christmas! Unfortunately I do not have any stores near me so I have to rely on online options.
DeleteGlad you are getting it Bella!
Did anyone see the sequin stripe tee in black/white in a small in their b&m store? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKari: I saw a couple of them at the Orlando store but didn't check sizes. Perhaps give them a call to see if they have a small?
DeleteSaw some at the Mall of America store today but did not look at sizes either.
DeleteWhy can't they do the 40% off online as well? I'm kind of new to J. Crew, but they don't usually have a very wide selection of cashmere in stores, correct? There's a sweater I've had my eye on for a while now and 40% off would really seal the deal for me.
ReplyDeleteSeth Christopher: J.Crew does offer 40% off online occasionally. Hopefully they will switch it online to 40% off before the promo ends this time, but you just never know with them. If they don't, you can try asking your local store to place an online order for you, and have the CS honor the in-store 40% off since the sweater is not available there for you to purchase at that discount.
DeleteTo keep or not to keep the Terrazzo Tweed jacket? It was a decent price with the sale and it fits great, but I'm hesitating about the odd chain that goes around all the edges. It is an actual metal chain. Do we like the chain or is it odd? I'm not sure where I would wear this jacket but I love it other than the chain. I need to return it, right? Does anyone have this and what do you think of it?
ReplyDeletecate, I bought the jacket in the summer (fp) but returned because the 0 was a tad small and I couldn't exchange it with a 2 (soldout everywhere). I just repurchased it in a 2, crazy!
DeleteAnyway, I really like the chain, personally, it is what makes this jacket special and modern.
I can't link but I had a post back in July with IRL pics (I am planning to style it like on the model, in my opinion it goes mostly with jeans, navy pants and not much else but I am in jeans all the time)
So thumbs up on the chain but it you are looking for a reason to return it, it isn't very versatile IMO.
DeleteThanks Ema, I remember you posting some of that. You are right that it isn't very versatile. I'm in jeans all the time too but I have few occasions to dress them up, that is my hesitation. I am glad you finally found it in the 2! Thanks!
DeleteHas anyone seen the stadium cocoon coat in sz 00 or 0 in stores? It sold out in my size in nyc so quickly :( id love to get it in heather stone but I know its a long shot...grey green and black even im wanting right now! thank uuu JCAWFIFY!
ReplyDeletesuisui: There were several of them at the Orlando store today. I'm not sure about sizes, but often times the size 00's are the last to sell at our store, so try giving them a call. Hopefully they'll have one for you! :)
DeleteThanks ffm!
Deleteunfortunately no 00s or 0s. i did manage to get info from live chat and found out the only 00 in the country is at the short hills store in nj in the dublin green. the rep was really nice to let me know the manhasset store had the heather stone and black in 0 but the heather stone was pick up by someone the moment i called :( but luckily i got the black and price matched with 40% off! so happy!
if anyone else is interested, theres one black at the chevy chase store in dc (202) 537-3380.
the dublin green is still full price but theres a 0 at short hills nj, (973) 912-9488.
Hi suisui! Congrats on getting the black one, and at such a great price, too! I'm sorry the stores didn't have your size in the Heather Stone, but I do think the black one is equally lovely. :)
DeleteOT: Does anyone have an idea when the next online roll-out will be for the month of February? Next week? In two weeks?
ReplyDeleteHi Ladies, Some advice needed... I am intrigued by the calfhair biennial after seeing FFM's review on it. Thanks FFM! The only thing holding me back is that it seems close in pattern to the summer leopard hobo (mini brompton) bag that I own. Of course, the biennial is more luxurious with the calf hair and leather. Any thoughts regarding whether you would own both? Trying to be practical(2013resolution) For this SAHM. FFM, do you own both? If so, any thoughts? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi savvy shopper! I don't own both, but I do think they are different enough to get the biennial if you really like it. Then you would have a leopard bag for the cold weather months and one for the warm weather months, too. It isn't showing up as final sale right now , so perhaps you could order to see how you feel about it in person, and also decide if it will work with your current wardrobe?
DeleteI agree, I have the mini Brompton in safari cat and I retired it before the fall, it is a summer bag. Plus the colors are different as the safari cat is in the brown tones and the biennial is mainly black/white if I am not wrong.
DeleteI agree as well. I bought the biennnial when it went on sale this week, after reading FFM's review long ago, but have not rec'd it yet. But based on the website and FFM's photos, I would agree with Ema that the coloring is quite different even if they are both leopard print. I have the safari cat Brompton and it is a very casual warm weather bag.
DeleteThank you FFM, Ema and Audreys. I just ordered it.
DeleteHas anyone seen the excursion quilted vest in herringbone in an xxs in store???
ReplyDeleteAnyone with advice on the Stovepipe pant? These look good for work. I have worn an 8 but seem to be more in the 6 range now. The cafe trousers I have are 6's. I am slightly pear. Not sure if I should order 6 or 8?
ReplyDeleteI would go with what you ordered for the cafe trousers. I originall bought these a size up because I got measurements and they seemed to point me in that direction. However, once I tried them, I ended up taking my regular size in pants. I ended up returning because the wool seemed like they would pill, and also the colors are off to me-the navy is not a true navy but on the violet side which did not match well at all with greys.
DeleteI just got the stovepipe trousers! j crew is so great with shipping these days. took two days! i love these pants - perfect for the office. they're like the 120s in thickness and not lined, but i think that adds onto how streamlined the fit is. the cut isn't as straight as i had hoped but they're great with heels. i got them in black and green. sooo tempted to get them in the beige at 34.99. i'm thinking TTS so 6 would work very well if you do the cafe trousers in that size. i wear 00 in the minnies, pixie pants, cafe capris, and so 00 fit perfectly in these. i find with the cafe capris the sides of my upper thighs are slightly noticeable through the fabric (which I don't really like) but not in these :)
DeleteWas my computer messed up this morning or was everything sold out already when it uploaded?
