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!

    3. On Instagram thedoubletakegirls received hers a week ago. However she said she ordered hers from a random NJ store. I ordered the day they were released and they were back ordered until May 13th. I haven't gotten any email thus far.

    4. The charge for the pair I ordered popped up yesterday as a pending charge on my credit card--so I'm hoping I'll get a shipping notification soon.

      Delete
    5. Nickname unavailable - The pumps are in-store only, so she must have gotten them from the NJ concept store. Thx for the info :)

      Professor Brady - I saw them as available this morning, so I called in. Hope both of ours ship!

    6. They shipped!! I'm so happy. Just got a notification that my stripe bow pumps shipped.Yay!

      Had to come to jump up and down because I can't think of any other peeps who would understaaaaand.

    7. Hooray! What a nice surprise. I can't wait to see a pic of you wearing them.

    8. Mine shipped today too, I'm so excited!! I got nervous there for a minute! :)

  2. I will probably be going this going. Stores are still offering 40% off the sale items here.

  3. For those who haven't seen it in store yet, I posted pictures of the Factory Sunburst Cuff bracelet here. It's quite pretty IRL and an extra 30% off with the SALE30 online code right now. Otherwise no trips to the retail store for me this weekend. :)

  4. nah....I stopped in to do a return and didn't see anything new, different or interesting even to try on. It all looks the same to me.....I either have it or didn't like it the first hundred times they rolled it out.

  5. Not unless I feel like it. Though I did just order the factory weekend tote for a good price.

  6. Way OT: I'm a bit concerned because some items from my last JCrew order shipped from Lynchburg, VA. Does it mean these items were for sale in the clearance center? Or does J.Crew have a merchandise distribution center in Lynchburg, VA, besides its clearance center?

    1. Hi NewJCA I live in MD and find that most of my stuff comes from Lynchburg VA - unless it's from a store.

      Delete
    2. Almost everything I order comes from Lynchburg - they have a distribution center there (I am an hour away). Literally the only other times I get packages shipped from elsewhere is when they ship from a store.

      Delete
    3. Thank you Cheri and Taylor! I live in CO and all my JCrew things (till now) came from Salt Lake, UT. Having read about the Lynchburg clearance center I was not sure of what I was going to get…

      Delete
    4. All of my stuff used to come from SLC, too. I am sad about the change because the shipping was much quicker as I am only 25 miles from SLC.

      Delete
    5. Some time earlier this year, a JCA said there's no distribution center in SLC. J Crew's contract w/UPS was that the tracking would begin (visibility for us) once it got on the truck. Then it changed to where we could see info about mid-way thru the shipping process, which was SLC. So it's my understanding that it was just a point of tracking and not that there was a distr center in SLC.

      They might've changed it so that the tracking now reflects the Lynchburg info.

      Delete
    6. There's definitely not a distribution center in SLC. For me, I would get my shipping confirmation email, and then about three to four days later it will scan in SLC (I'm assuming where there's a large shipping warehouse). Now, my packages are scanned at their original destination (Lynchburg, VA) and then again at SLC.

      Delete
    7. I forgot to note that my packages aren't taking any longer than they did when they weren't being scanned in Virginia. It's still the same amount of time, they just added that extra scan in for some reason!

  7. I did stop by Park Meadows, CO store at lunch time. Sale items were 40% off and they were running a Mother's Day - Friday Only 10-6, additional 20% off your entire purchase. I got some great deals. Paneled Pixie Pants with zip pockets $28, Tippi Sweater $28, Merino Tunic Sweater in 2 colors $19 each. Of course all was final sale.

    1. $28 for the Paneled Pixies?? Can you tell me if they fit similar and look similar to the regular Pixes? I've been eyeing them, and if they're like the regular ones, I'm going to track down a pair at $28!!

      Delete
    2. I found them to fit the same as regular pixies. I liked the fact that they did not have a zipper in the back. They did have one size 0 but that was Friday. That store also had lots of the leather sided pixies in a range of sizes, I believe $69.99 with 40% off. Park Meadows, CO store 303-649-9620. HTH.

      Delete
    3. Thx for the info! I need a sz. 6. I'll probably call a random store and see if they can look up what store has a pair for me. $28 is more than half off the online price.

  8. Stopped by the Deer Park location today. Lots of sales going on: 25% off jewelry, shorts, tees, socks and chambray- 40% off sale items. I did purchase what I went in for. Other things I think are super cute as far as pattern or fabric are a no-go for me- see through, low cut, too short, etc. If I have to wear a tank under a summer top, it kind of defeats the purpose for me. I love layering, but when it is super hot outside, I want less layers, not more. Just my two cents : )

  9. Going to JCF tomorrow anyone know about the in store promos currently?

    ReplyDelete
  10. A few items from my last order arrived;
    Cotton piqué dress - Love! TTS Got the white but will probably exchange for navy.
    Matelassé sheath dress - Love this one too. The arem holes are a bit lower but still ok, Got the white. Will look lovely with a jackie cardigan
    Matelassé drop waist skirt - this one is not flattering for me, too girly, will return TTS
    Silk eyelet top - I am usually a 2 or 4. I went with 2 since it is a flowy top but the shoulders are tight. Got the black. It's lovely but the eyelet start to high from the waste

  11. Looks like the SOGOOD promotion applies to sale items today. Or, has it been like that all week?
    Anthro has 15% off promotion today only on full priced items online and in store.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I received an email with an exclusive 30off select items with a unique coupon code, assume it will have a lot of exclusions (aka new arrivals)... likely will not order anything!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I stopped by Rockfeller Center yesterday (usual mess). Lots of random stuff in the sale section. I got the chambray slingbacks (the color is called helicon indigo) on sale for $124 ($189 before 40% off). Didn't wait more because they had very few sizes left. There is literally nothing else that tempts me these days so I was happy with these.

  14. Anyone see the Campbell Capri in double seeresucker in store? If so can you let me know if it is on sale and what the price is. Thanks!!!

    1. JessF - I didn't see the campbells in double seersucker in the sale section last week or yesterday. Hopefully someone will report if they're on sale.

      Delete
    2. Thanks Gigi. They did get marked down on line this week but I know that does not always translate to a markdown in store.

      Delete
    3. JessF - The stores here have gotten so bad in my area about throwing things into the sale section & not marking the prices. I may go to another store today and I'll keep my eye out.

  15. I'm going to a store today to return the tipped linen schoolboy blazer in navy. I actually quite like the blazer (color, quality, etc.). I think it fits TTS. However, somehow I completely forgot that most schoolboys are now coming in the new cut (vs. the classic). The new schoolboy is too long for me, particularly for a linen blazer that I plan to wear over dresses in the summer, so back it's going. Bummer. Would have kept it otherwise. I am sure I will peruse the sales section while there, but there is nothing I really want right now, except the collection cove floral dress which is $400?!?, excluded from promos, and sold out in my size. I rarely even look at the sales section on the website any more.

  16. Stopped in yesterday and picked up the Cleo Stripe Canvas Loafers. They were $99 + an additional 40% off. I was ecstatic!

    1. Thanks so much for mentioning this, Jamie. I've been watching these forever ... just called my B&M and put a pair on hold. Happy Mother's Day to me. :)

  17. I haven't shopped since I bought the Liberty jacket in chive floral on popback (love it) but I will be visiting some of the stores in New York this week while I'm on vacation. NYC JCAs, which is best store? Interested in Collection items...

    1. Hi BigShopper - check out the NYC Location Series link (also on the right sidebar) for some information. I think Ema will have some info on stores as well. HTH!

      Delete
    2. Best store for Collection items is the ex-wedding store on Madison and 65th but on the other end they have almost zero non-Collection items. The other Collection store on Madison and 79th is smaller but they have more regular items mixed in. Fifth Avenue has a good selection of Collection items but the sale section is especially good as they get the sale items from the Madison stores. Almost no Collection at the Midtown and Columbus Circle store. HTH!

      Delete
    3. Thank you, Ema! I've never been to the stores on the Upper East Side, but will definitely check those out on the day we go to the Met. I will also pay closer attention in the sale section on Fifth Avenue. I'll look at the JCA NYC guide now...thanks for the reminder, silver_lining!

  18. AMAZING find for me at my local J.Crew! I scored the following items for $9.99 + 15% student discount. The sales associates said these items were on "Kill Sale" for Mother's Day. Although the rest of the sale was additional 40% off... these weren't. I didn't mind though!

    EMBROIDERED MERINO SWEATER
    item a2201

    BACK-ZIP COLORBLOCK SWEATSHIRT
    item a2930


    MERINO TIPPED SIDE-PANEL V-NECK SWEATER
    item a0822

    Believe me when I say I definitely got multiples of all of these items! They had a lot of sizes too! Worth checking out at your local J.Crew!

    1. @Sabrina. Wow! Great score! Which store were you in? Do you know if these sales were in other stores? For those prices, the items are certainly tempting : ) TIA

    2. Calicoandtweed - The stores in my area never have kill prices. I'm in California. Hopefully Sabrina will be back w/the info to share.

    4. I think the store in San Antonio does this as well. I was there last year at Christmas and got a pair of white toothpick jeans for $6.99. They had the same red line through them. Maybe it's a Texas thing! :)

  19. I was just in my local factory store today. Most things were 40-50% off, but I was looking specifically for the lace-front tank and found it in the clearance section. Everything in clearance was an extra 60% off, plus I used my student discount so I got my lace-front tank for $10 and a striped tank for $5. Best score ever!

  21. Went to Old Orchard in Skokie, IL. The sales section was a mess. I did get the paneled zipper front pixies in black for about $36 after 40% off sales items. I would say they are TTS but unlike other pixies I own they have no zipper which I actually don't mind. I tried the citron yellow seville wedges, which were on sale for $80 plus 40% off. I decided not to get them because I don't need them but quite liked the color. I would say take your "normal" non J Crew size in these.

  22. Has anyone seen the pants that were shown on the SS14 show that are an olive green chino with paint splatters?
