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. I bought and liked the Banana Republic back zip denim shirt and really liked it. Since the review I have washed it: gentle cycle, hang dry and it came out in fine form. Photos on my blog for anyone interested.

  4. Boden is offering 25% off a purchase and free shipping /returns. They have some really cute longer skirts, dresses and tunics. I am not sure if you need a code...but have one if anyone wants it.

    1. Hey, all! :) I have a sidebar coupon running at the blog that can get you direct access to the 25% off if need be. I am sure reaganflowers code can be shared, but just in case it can't be, you can click through the coupon there.

      The lace dress which I wore on Mother's Day is part of the sale, and is definitely worth the money since it is well made and very unique.

  5. Hi, all! Boden rolled out there Autumn Preview last Friday and I wrote a post with some picks from pants, dresses, and knitwear. I intended to write more "picks" posts this week and now my laptop is dead. My home computer is acting like it is still 1999, so I have to wait until I can get my laptop back before updating the blog again. Sigh.

    The link for the picks post (with info on how to receive the 20% off) is here: http://mysuperfluities.blogspot.com/2013/06/boden-autumn-2013-preview-picks-dresses.html

  6. I really wanted to like the J. Crew cafe capris, especially for how hard they've been peddling them, but the fit is seriously wrong for my slim pear shape. I typically wear a 2 (or 26) in J. Crew bottoms, but the 2 cafe capri is extremely big in the waist and not flattering much anywhere else. I went to Gap yesterday and had a lot better luck with their slim cropped pants (the styles without the back leg seams). They're all on sale too.

  7. Loving Talbots skirts. Nice length. Pretty styles and colors. Also bought their mint green denim jacket last night with the gift card I won from them as well as my 15% off teacher discount. I still have $200 on the gift card I won:) Looking at a dress...I love that Talbots has an educators discount now; full priced items only.
