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.

  4. I was still able to use a 20% off full price merchandise code at Garnet Hill (Google "Garnet Hill promo" and click on the retailmenot link). The Cascading Knit Tank Dress is really cute, and I'm going to try the Scoop-neck Maxi Tank Dress (striped). The Eileen Fisher Viscose Jersey Scoop-Neck Dress is nearly a maxi and a nice length for a shorter girl who wants a maxi that doesn't drag on the ground. The Eileen Fisher Organic Cotton Ballet-Neck Dress in Blue Neptune is great too. The Boxy T-shirt dress is adorable in theory but they aren't kidding when they call it Boxy - it is literally a big rectangle. Going to try it in a size down and see if it's better. The colors/stripes are great.

  5. Talbots has an extra 30% off sale stuff with code SALE30. Also, another 10% off "red card savings" was taken off automatically at checkout when I placed an order. I just have the little talbots card they scan to get points, not a credit card or anything. That promotion is not advertised on their site, I don't know what it's all about, but it is worth checking out.

    I purchased this dress, which is right up my alley. Super flattering, nice heavy knit, gorgeous pattern, APPROPRIATE LENGTH (can't say that about more than 1 or 2 of J.Crew's current offerings). It came out to about $62.

    I also bought this beautiful silk charmeuse top in the fun bright lime color. Talbots' silk charmeuse tops are amazing for the price. Can you tell I am ready for spring??

    1. J.CrewJD - Thanks for sharing the Talbots code. I haven't purchased lately, but always look around there. Good deals, esp w/the code. This etched pencil skirt is like a skirt version of JC's short sleeve lace sweatshirt released last year. And the skirt is cotton.

    2. Thank you for this! I love Talbots, but they are also vanity sized, so a heads up to all our petite friends!

    3. Yes, their vanity sizing is worse than J.Crew's. I bought a pleated, a-line skirt at Talbots in a size 4, and probably could have gone down to a 2. I need a 6 at J.Crew!

      I will say that their pencil skirt sizing is comparable to J.Crew, though.

      gigi, didn't see that skirt, it is beautiful!

    4. I wear the same size in Talbots and JCrew. Go figure but true for me and my body:)

  7. Cupcake necklace dupe is back, this time in lilac. Details on my blog. Looks delightful, and it's very budget friendly. I am ordering the colorway, since I like it better than the mint.

  10. I've probably said this before but Bauble Bar has become somewhat of my mistress on the side for costume jewelry. It started with their blatant J.Crew knockoffs. Now I check reguarly for fun, trendy pieces that won't break the bank and that I won't feel bad about wearing only a handful of times.
