Seek & Find: Will you visit J.Crew this Weekend?

This is the weekly "sale watch" post, to help each other find sale items at our various local J.Crew stores. ;)

If you are stopping by a J.Crew store this weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the SPRING sale, or to see some new SPRING 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!

    @cate: i received my thistle print shirt.I ordered a size 2(am usually a 0)because of the measurements. JC sent me a 0 and it fits,but i would say it runs small/short.
    Love the pink print and it is super soft.
    I will review it on my blog either friday or saturday.

      Ina, uh oh, short is never good on me! I just got shipping notice on the smaller of the two that I ordered (pink). The larger of the two sizes (blue) has not shipped yet. Did you see it layered under the Stitchwork Stripe Top? Really cute!

      I thought it ran tight in the arm pits? I don't think I have super huge arms or anything but it was really tight in the upper arms/arm pits...

      I have the blue/green one. I'm returning but its a darling print, just a poor fit on me.

      i bought the thistle print shirt in my usual size and it was too small in the shoulders/upper arms. i compared it to my other perfect shirts and popovers and it's definitely running smaller. i'm hoping they pop up in the stores soon so i can exchange it for a larger size.

    No plans to visit my local JC store this weekend, but I'm looking forward to reading what others think of some of the new arrivals.

    I posted a few outfit styling ideas for the Linen Tippi sweater in the cute whale print here, along with a review of Madewell's slingback boardwalk sandal.

    I won't be going. The new rollout isn't calling to me. There is nothing I want to spend my rewards card on right now :/

    Still waiting for my rewards. Usually I get right away. My online chat person said I was slated to get one. Anyone else out there waiting? I loved getting an email rewards last time (instant gratification), but was told my was being snail mailed. Hmmmmm.... Hoping to use it to by some swimwear and still grab the 30% off. Fingers crossed!

      The sales associates in store can look up your rewards card number and apply it to your purchase--I've done that numerous times.

    Spent my (unfortunately substantial) rewards card in less than a week. My latest popback, which I am excited about: the vega metallic perforated sandals popped back in only my size! Have not read any reviews or seen this, but I love metallics and thought I'd give it a shot since it isn't even Final Sale! A less substantial but still exciting pop back: the purple poppy tea. I was late to the bandwagon on the peony esp. given my overflowing t-shirt collection, but when I saw and tried in store, I loved and had to buy it. Love the poppy one too, and was happy to find it today. So no, no retail store visit for me.

    On a different note, happy mother's day to all of the moms out there!!

      Hmm- there's 30% off factory. Anyone try factory light weight wool suit pieces? TIIA

    2. cateMay 10, 2013 at 6:27 PM

      It's not exactly a work dress, but I bought the black Asymmetrical Shift Dress. It's a lighter weight than the retail Origami dress. I don't know if I'd wear it to work, though, it seems hard to put a layer over. I liked the lighter weight wool.

      I'm wondering about quality of seams too in Factory. I don't want pulling or puckering if the material is thinnish. I'm leaning towards 1035 and just investing in a "good" suit.

      Delete
    4. cateMay 10, 2013 at 7:27 PM

      I think you'll be happier with the 1035. I didn't inspect seams on the dress, but I'm sure it's not as good as the 1035 suiting.

      pathos - Thumbs up on the cotton shift dress. It looks just like the Allura from 2011, reviewed here. Will try to review w/pics tomorrow.

      I got the Factory suiting last fall and liked it for the price. It was lighter weight and unlined, though, but I still thought it was pretty good for a suit.

      Thanks for the replies! Gigi that dress is really cute- I've always loved the Allura.

    I'm looking for a quick review/comparison of the Ruched Skirt swim bottom and the Graphic Dot high waisted brief. FWIW I am pregnant and due late Sept in the south where i could wear swim all through the summer with some regularity. Trying to avoid maternity specific styles.
    Thx.

      I haven't tried those style on, but I am 7 months pregnant and have loved the jersey bathing suit. They haven't stretched at all, but don't cut in while wearing and are still very comfortable!

    I didn't visit JC but I did visit Madewell today- got the Skinny Skinny jean in oilwell wash-- it's like leather, only better. Very sleek. Then, when I got home, I found out they are reduced online, down from the $135 I paid to $109.50! I contacted them via online chat and got a refund. I am really digging Madewell and they even have reviews.

    Went in to do some returns yesterday and didn't see anything that really caught my eye in the new arrivals. My VPS did talk me into a pair of cropped matchsick jeans in the super light gray color. They were on sale (+30%) and I must say after trying them on that I loved them. Going to wear them today. I'm not sure if they run small or that I' just still harboring winter weight. My regular balked near my hips so I went one size larger and they fit perfectly.

    I don't think I'll make it to the mall this weekend, but I do have a couple of returns so I may try to go later on this week.

    For those interested, there are a few new promo-priced items - Selvedge chambray shirt, Denim vest in workwear wash, and Collection featherweight cashmere cardigan. The Indigo floral popover got marked down and so did the Perfect shirt in mint plaid (which was just on promo this past week). I've updated the promo-priced items and markdowns list which can be seen here on my blog. Enjoy your weekend everyone! :)

    If anyone is interested in the crystal cupcake necklace in white, it is on sale online for $79.99 before the promos (not available online but findable in store).

    I went last night for a return and the sale section was quite large. Lots of cece flats and the janey flats in neon yellow. I have to say I really liked the fit of the Janey flat but I could not get past the neon part. One jacket that came home with me was the indigo floral quilted jacket. It was a very BIG surprise for me. I never tried it on because it did not get much blog love, but for $41 and change after the discount I thought let me try it. I really liked the fit and thought it would be a great alternative to a jean jacket on some occasions, it was soft and very comfortable IMO. I loved it!
    Also if anyone is interested there was one Punk Floral scarf left in my little B&M in Danbury, CT.
    That's all for me..Happy Mother's Day all!!

      Glad the jacket worked for you. I tried ordering two and the fabric was worn and pilled and horrible looking on both. I would never been seen in it the way the fabric looked. It was really strange. I tried the mint tweed jacket and even at 5'10" the jacket made me look two sizes larger and horrible. Loved the mint color and fabric; just not the quilting.

    Check out the Irl Pic Guide, if you're shopping the sale section. Lots of new links & some measurements, i.e. for the sleeveless shift dress & gilded dot brocade dress, etc...
