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 SUMMER sale, or to see some new SUMMER 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!

  1. I can't pull the sale items up on the website yet but knowing jcrew, summer layers probably means cashmere sweaters and wool scarves! :)

    2. It's been so hot and humid in the NE (and 90's forecasted every day next week) I can barely bring myself to wear anything beyond a baggy tee and sleep shorts. I'm certainly not wearing cashmere!

  4. I wont be visiting JCrew, but I think I just spotted the Liberty collar striped merino sweater on a Geico commercial. Its always fun to recognize pieces on tv or in public. :)

  5. Definitely not going, I was just there. For not being a fan of their stuff lately, I am surprised to keep finding things in the sale section. Mostly it's been staples and not the trendier stuff, though.

  6. I will be going in to make a return, and plan to check out the women's & crewcuts sale sections in the Tampa store. Hopefully they are still running the extra 40% off through the weekend.

    There are several new promo-priced items & markdowns online today. I've noted them in this post.

    Have a wonderful weekend everyone! :)

  7. I made a return yesterday. What a ghost town. I was the only person in the store. The window dresser had to stop dressing a mannequin to help me! I went over to Banana Republic and took advantage of their offer of 45% my total sale on three full priced items. And because the Crew won't make cute summer dresses that I can wear, I stopped in to JC Penneys. Tons of dresses. I bought a darling sleeveless cotton sheath with front slit pockets in a spring green and white floral. Fit me perfectly and comes to just a bit above my knee. The brand is American Living. Full price $55.00. Not lined, but the fabric is substantial and the dress is quite well made. I'm going to stop in again this weekend and spend some more time going through the dresses.

  8. Just popped into Michigan Avenue store - it was hopping! Picked up the tortoise flower necklace and a gold link bracelet (not sure what it's really called but it is on the smaller side). The sale section seemed enormous, so if you are looking for something, I would suggest trying this store. As usual, lots of sale jewelry. The case is in front so it gets missed by many. Did not ask how long the 40% off is running.

    3. Did you notice if any of the beaded rose necklaces were on sale? Hoping to purchase one-- would live to pay a little less than $128. Thank you!

  9. Just indulged in a few fall items in the early access for the Nordstrom anniversary sale, so that's my shopping limit for the week :)

  10. Anyone familiar with the Chicago J.Crew stores? I’ll be in town for work soon, staying downtown Chicago. Anyone store better than the other?

    1. There is only one J Crew in downtown Chicago, located at 900 North Michigan Avenue. It's a good sized store with shoes, handbags, case jewelry and some Collection. No Crewcuts. The store is in the same vertical mall as Bloomingdales (newly remodeled, looks great). If you like cupcakes, there is a Sprinkles Cupcakes across the street on Walton. Mega pricey shopping two streets over on Oak Street. Great people watching, too!

    2. TXgirl14 - Chicago J Crews discussed in this post. Have fun :)

    3. Thank you both! I'm looking forward to doing some shopping while I'm there...and some people watching too. :)

  11. Just got back from the Tampa store a little while ago. It seemed as if almost the entire store was on sale with an extra 40% off. There seemed to be a lot of size 10's and 4's on the racks, so if you are looking for something in that size it is probably worth a call. I did notice 2 blue tartine satchels near the dressing rooms if you're looking for one. They were $229.99 plus 40% off.

    Also, the store is going to be closed from the 15-18th for renovations, so if you are planning a trip there either go before or after those dates.

  12. Hello! Has anyone seen the striped dree dress in size 0 or 2? Thank you!!

  13. Has anyone seen the Liberty Perfect Shirt in Tresco Floral in size 10? Is the in-store price still $99 before the 40% off discount? TIA

    1. Sadly no size 10 at my store and the last price I saw was $99. I would be interested in the location of a tresco liberty perfect shirt in a size 6 as well if anyone sees it while looking for Melodie's size 10 :)

      Delete
    2. I haven't seen a 10, but I want to say the last price I saw is $69.99 (don't quote me--it's been a week or two). You can call a store (any store, if you don't have one nearby) and they should be able to quote you the price and find one for you. If the online chat feature is available, they will look up store inventory for you if you provide the item number, though they aren't able to see store prices. HTH!

      Shopping Celle, there may have been a size 6 in Green Hills Mall, Nashville, but it's been a while since I was there...

  14. Are there any factory deals right now? I was thinking about making a trip to mine this weekend.

    1. Kelly L-G - An email went out to save an addtl 50% off at factory with SPREE online. Or, if shopping in-store, show the email. If you mention it verbally at the store, they should apply it.

      I believe the reason they are stating to show the email is because they only want one promo to be used at a time. So they will treat some promos (esp global i.e. 50% off everything) as needing a coupon. If they do that, then you can't use the factory outlet coupon of 10% off in combination. HTH

  15. The other day I noticed signage for 30% off popovers and it was above this swim cover-up. I saw another sign for 30% off button up shirts.

    For recent cuts, check out the In-Store Price Guide.

  16. Factory was 60% off sale today. There was a lot outside the normal sale section, including suiting. Lots of shoes as well. They still do not layer teacher discount, though the store is back to doing it now.

    1. At my store they also mentioned that new arrivals will be out on Thursday and handed out coupons for 20% storewide starting the 17th. I think it ends the 28th but can't remember.
