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 SALE, or to see some NEW 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. OT - Madewell's Fall Lookbook can be viewed on Fashionista.com.

    Fall. Can we do summer first?

    1. Some of the coats look interesting, but the rest is like, more dropped shoulders (ugh), more drapey/slouchy poly-looking pants, more tee/sweatshirts with words on them. Not so much a dig at MW but I'm sure this is what all other retailers are going to be doing as well. Yeah, let's not look to the fall too quickly yet.

  3. The Factory store 60% off clearance sale is tempting. I also posted photos of the Stacked Stones bracelet on my blog HERE. It's an extra 50% off the sale price on the website (code SWEET), and quite pretty IRL.

  4. Will be going to make some returns and of course checking out the sales section. A bit off topic but I noticed that J Crew is now updating items at random times. I had a sold out item in my shopping cart. It was still showing up as sold out at around 10:15 pm then when I randomly looked at 10:30 pm it was in stock along with a few other sizes. I checked another sold out dress that was still sold out just earlier that day and sure enough there a handful of sizes online. It didn't seem that the sales section was updated so didn't seem to be a global web update but could still be worth checking for that item you really really want after the early AM update. As if I didn't waste enough time on JC website. LOL!

    1. I've been noticing the same thing, too. I usually had to wake up 4 AM PST, to check on out of stock items; now stock is replenished at random times throughout the day-kind of hard to predict the time it happens.
      Is this because online stock is connected to stores stock?

    2. I think so - this is why some orders don't give you the option to cancel within 60 minutes of placing it. If one or more of the items is going to be shipped from a store, it immediately goes from "Submitted" to "Released".

  5. More insane pop-backs this morning. I tried to restrain myself to no avail. I'll be heading to my local B&M to make some returns and hopefully NOT pick up anything else.

    1. Yes! I was up early today (earlier than usual) so I was looking at the site around 5am. Some super-old, random stuff, especially in the women's sweater section! I was good, though. :)

      Delete
    2. Yep...scored a tippi in heather graphite for 27 bucks...and got a "chat" sales rep to waive the shipping

      Delete
    3. I received an order with two extreme pop backs and they both had unusual tags -- with US/UK sizing on the tags. The third non pop back item had a regular tag. Wondering where these are being shipped back from!?

      Delete
    4. I just got an order with US/UK sizing too. I thought it was really weird.

      Delete
    5. I've seen the US/UK sizing on several pieces but thought nothing of it. I concluded that it was par for the course now. Is it not?

  6. I'm stopping in today to do a return (the embroidered chambray scarf.....it's pretty, but rather thicker than I normally wear. It looks just like the picture in the catalog. That's just too much fabric around my neck). I also received the Tassel Trim earrings! LOVE! Curious to see if any other new things have arrived.

    1. I loved that scarf when I saw it on-line, but thought it looked too bulky in the catalogue photo. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. Too, bad, because I love the chambray and the embroidery.

    2. Hi maryeb! The SA's at my store agreed! It's really more like a shawl. Really pretty embroidery and tassel trim, but the fabric is thick. Too bad!

  7. I popped into the Rockefeller and Columbus Circle locations during lunch and managed to snag the last Photo Floral dress! 40% off and then they stacked the student discount. What luck that it was in my size! Almost grabbed a Schoolboy Blazer in black as well.

    1. How much was the schoolboy blazer? Thanks!

      Delete
    2. The black school boy was $129.9@ before the discount. My sa told me they just marked them down today.

    2. Which store did you get the snood in and were there more? I Aldo live in Atlanta. Txs.

      Delete
    3. Forgot to say,yes there were maybe 2-3 more.

  9. While doing my return I spotted the Mixed Prints Tee (07951). It's gorgeous! It's not made of regular tee-shirt cotton. It's a thicker, but fine weave cotton with a sort of soft slick feel....not slick in a bad way though...hee! I sized up to a Medium from XS/small (my normal) size because it's got a smaller arm sleeve hole and over all is cut on the smaller size. The gals at the store said it was very popular. I suggest checking it out quick!!! I also picked up a pair of earrings on clearance. Don't know what they were called but the have deep green square stone
    at the ear with a big multi-stone encrusted fabric piece hanging from them. The color are gorgeous for summer...green, blues, turquoise. I got them for $53.00...I think they were $118 or $128.00...I'm going to wear them today with my J. Crew linen shirt from a few summers ago in the soft turquoise color and white jeans. Happy Shopping!!!!

  10. Anyone know how much the factory printed pull on shorts are in the store? I found the Florida pink ones finally, but across the country.

    1. These shirts TOTALLY remind me of that whole "Frankie Say Relax" phase from the 80's! That's why I just can't get into these shirts. As they say, if you wore it when it first was around, you shouldn't wear it when it comes back around a second time!

      Delete
    2. Jruby18 - I don't think I wore the Relax tees the first time around, Now that the 80s/90s stuff is coming back, I understand the rule of not wearing it the 2nd time.

    4. These shirts totally remind me of PINK. I tried both them on yesterday including the sweatshirt. Not a huge fan of them, but did like the cotton one to lounge in or workout in. It seemed kind of wide on me, but hey, that's great for workouts!

      Delete
    5. Guilty! I wore the Relax tee AND I even saw Frankie Goes to Hollywood in concert in San Francisco. I was young but still managed to get into the show. My Oui mon cheri sweatshirts have shipped and I look forward to wearing them!

      Delete
    6. Yeah, I was really young, but yes, I did wear those shirts, lol!! Good for you BigShopper!! I can't believe even Lululemon is in on this trend!

  13. Does anyone have any experience with returning J.Crew online purchases after 60 days? The items are brand new. I was shocked to find out that my local UPS had an unsent package for a year. Too late?

    1. What? That's crazy. I would assume that UPS would have to take the responsibility for this if JC does not take the items back.

    2. I once had a lost FEDEX package that took 6 months to be make it to me....weirder things have happened.

      Delete
    3. J. Crew will typically send you a gift card for the cost of the items.

  14. Any idea how long the sale will go on? Or if it'll get even sweeter? I'm travelling to San Fran on 9th June from Europe.

    1. IT-ihme - The stores don't usually know the promos in advance. Sometimes they will get an email ahead of time, but corporate usually sends the info the day before. Or sometimes mid-day and promos will change on the spot. Hopefully the addtl 40% will still be going in-store when you arrive. Have fun :)

    1. Thanks, Ema. What size did you end up taking in those? I feel like i'm in between sizes...

      Delete
    2. I bought a 2 (one size up as I am a solid 0 and sometimes even a 00). If you are between sizes def. take the largest one. HTH

    3. Yes, thank you, Ema! Very helpful :)

  16. Walked right past the store...didn't even go in...so bored with what I see there. I only like the factory store anymore.
