Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including poor experiences with purchases & orders, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.
The new items are up, I think my wallet is safe. A couple of cute things but without a promo there is no way I am paying full price and shipping for them.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. I'm intrigued by some of the new pants cuts but until reviews start rolling in (the closest store is 2 hours from me) my credit card remains asleep.
DeleteWanted to purchase the New Balance sneakers from the new roll out and they're already sold out. This is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteThe Merrick Park store in Miami have them:)

Thank you so much! Fortunately, I got them at an NYC store.
DeleteI was interested in the fireworks pattern shorts. Happy to see they are 5 inches in length but sad to see they are poly. Why didn't they make them in cotton? Pass.
ReplyDeleteNot new news, but I continue to be sad about all the poly. Every retailer seems to be doing it, I know, but as Gigi mentioned in another thread, $98 for a 100% poly top is not working for me. This is my barrier w factory,too, because I find that even if I really love the style, the time-to-landfill for the poly items I've purchased at J Crew is very short.
ReplyDeleteITA. If I didn't mind poly, I'd go to Loft where you can get almost identical tops with an opening price of $69.50 and a 40% or 50% promo. I find poly so uncomfortable to wear, and if I sweat a little bit it's impossible to launder. Ick.
DeleteI agree, I really dislike poly for the same reasons. It will be interesting to see what Factory does since they usually copy retail styles with ones in poly!! Is there a fabric lower on the chain that they can use?
DeleteI may be in the minority on this, but I generally prefer poly so I can machine wash it - I hate dry cleaning or worrying about staining silk. However, just like silver_lining said, the price point should be way lower. I often shop at Loft for that exact reason!
DeleteI'm pretty underwhelmed with anything they have going on right now.
ReplyDeleteThe Fireworks pattern they have all over everything is pretty, but it also has a very distinct Talbots vibe to it, IMO.
J.Crew is becoming shoes and jewelry to me, that's all I buy anymore really. Even that is pushing it since I won't buy the shoes banned in California.
nothing for me.....darn. the new cut of pants will not work for me. The tops just are not interesting me.....again. Darn
ReplyDeletenothing for me.....darn. the new cut of pants will not work for me. The tops just are not interesting me.....again. Darn
ReplyDeleteIs anyone else experiencing problems with the Polyvore Clipper on J.Crew's website? It's the only site where I can't clip photos; my cyber wardrobe is suffering :-)
ReplyDeleteI clipped a few things from JCrew without any problem. But I can't on some other websites. Weird.
