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.
I was in the market for a long chunky cable knit sweater, which is usually easy to find this time of year, but I had little success. Madewell had something, but I was trying to avoid synthetic blends, so I had it as my back up option. JCrew has surprisingly few sweater options this year.
ReplyDeleteI was on the Macy's website and found the Lauren by Ralph Lauren Wool-Cashmere Cardigan (here). They did not have my size, but after searching the internet and waiting it popped back up in a S on the Ralph Lauren website.
It's originally $298 and it's on sale for $169 and it's various prices other places. I'm super stoked for it to arrive.
Loft is doing 40% off and free shipping/no minimum (which is pretty much unheard of for them) with code SNAILMAIL.
ReplyDeleteHi Canadian JCA's The Bay has lord and Taylor cashmere sweaters for $69.99 today. They feel a lot nicer than J Crews cashmere this year and the color selection isn't too bad. HTH
ReplyDeleteAnthropologie is offering an extra 30% off their sale items with code XTRA30 for a limited time. I've shared my personal sale picks in this post.
ReplyDeleteTarget is running a BOGO 50% off clothing, shoes, & accessories until this Saturday, plus shipping is free on all orders until 12.25.15. I've shared my personal picks, as well as a few reviews & IRL pics in this post.
BR's shipping has been very quick lately -- I've placed several orders over the past couple of weeks, all at the basic free-shipping level, and all shipped within 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteI've experience the opposite. I placed an order on 11/30 and still don't have it! :)
DeleteI placed a combo BR/Gap/ON order on the 28th & I've only received one item so far! That is crazy.
DeleteOh no, Stacy & Taylor. And here I thought they'd fixed their notoriously slow shipping. The only GAP store in my area is closing in a month or so (surprising, as it's a big store & always seems busy). They claim the local BR will stay open, but it's a tiny store that doesn't seem to attract many shoppers, so I'm skeptical. I'm glad my orders will arrive while both are still open, so I can do returns in person if needed. What a rough year for retailers!
Deletecobalt, our local Gap closed about six months ago. The closest BR is two hours away. Returns are such a hassle. At least we still have our ON, I suppose!
DeleteI wonder if the Gap family shipping speed depends on how quickly the store(s) your items comes from fulfills their web orders... I've gotten much faster than normal ship notices on my last couple orders of kids' items from them...the ship speed is still fairly slow, but their quicker processing helps overall.
DeleteHi Boden fans - do they ever have promos that work on sale items? The item I'm looking at was marked down, but it appears the current 30% off everything doesn't work on it (hint Boden, that's not "everything").
ReplyDeleteSilver_lining, they do have promos for sale items but not very often and very much (an extra 10 or 15% off). I looked and last year one of their sale promos started on December 22. So, maybe soon...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lauren (and ymous, too!) - my item got another cut this morning so I decided to go for it.
DeleteIs your total order $49 and over? I think 30% off with free ship and return is for $49 and over? If that's not the case then Sometimes their sale items aren't eligible for promos, which it will say in the fine print.
ReplyDeleteI have a promo code for boden, $20 off your order, e-mail me at arhgmyers@charter.net for the code
ReplyDeleteIt's been taken
DeleteSundance is offering 25% off orders of $100+ this weekend, which is one of the best deals they run, so if you've considered purchasing from them before it's a great time to do it. I've shared more info on the promo, as well as my personal picks, and a couple of item reviews on my blog today, for those interested.
