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.

  1. When I lived in Australia my staples were www.countryroad.com.au
    and
    www.witchery.com.au
    Remember to apply the size conversion though, I wear a 0-2 in J.Crew and a 6-8 in australian sizes.

  2. My 'You Look Very Familiar...Have I Seen You Some Place Before' post this week marks the beginning of the 4th year I've been sharing "inspired by" items from J.Crew and other retailers on a weekly basis. You can see this week's finds here. :)

    Also, yesterday SHOPBOP started an Extra 20% off promo on all of their sale items. Enter code EXTRAOFF at checkout. The promo ends tomorrow.

    GAP: 20% off with code GAPGIFT until end of today.

    BR: 30% off with code BRSALE until end of today.

  3. I decided to take advantage of some of the clearance sales and replace some of my "staple tees" from J Crew that developed holes this year with Boden and Garnet Hill tees. Very happy with the quality.

    Boden tall size dresses are a nice replacement for the basic J Crew dresses that have proved to be way too short for me the last several years. I think that the overall quality is generally much better and most are machine washable which is very attractive for a basic dress.

  4. Hi, all! :)

    Boden had their "third" cuts in the sale, which officially means all their fall and winter 2012 items are clearance.

    Basically this means that they really really want to offload their clothing, so many items are at 60-70% off, and it also means that we will soon see the spring 2013 items. :)

    I did a combo review/ootd and picks post for this current crop of reductions. It was meant to be longer, but by the time I hit publish a lot of my picks were all sold out. But like J. Crew, there are always popbacks!

    1. I commented too fast! There are many popbacks this morning over at Boden. So if you had your eye on something, you may want to see if it has come back in stock in your size. Good luck!

    1. Hi Gigi! I saw last night that they were offering 70% off now! I just ordered a few things last week and I called today to see if they would do a price adjustment, and they would not! I'm so annoyed I might just return it all now.....
