Weekly Share: Other JCrew-like Retailers

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.

  1. I wanted to share this amazing dress - it fits the 'J Crew' aesthetic. I got it a ShopBop, its at the J Crew price point. Its an off the shoulder 'resort wear' style dress - it is so amazing, even on my less than perfect figure. Can't believe it hasn't sold out already:

    1. That's a really cute dress; reminds me somewhat of the Gallabia Peru mini dress, but more price friendly.

  3. Another Boden surprise at my local thrift store last week, this time it was skirts in size 12 and 14. They both fit on the small side, I'm a 12 in J.Crew and barely squeezed into the 14, so I wonder of this is normal, or if they're an older style with a higher waist? Anyway, I came home with the 14 in a brown leaf appliqué and got tons of compliments on it when I wore it yesterday. I can't wait to check out a Boden store if I ever see one in the US.

    1. Boden tends to fit small, and unfortunately they don't have retail stores other than one small outlet in Pennsylvania. But they make fantastic clothes and if you buy online they have individualized size charts for all items!

    2. I didn't realize that they only have one retail store, thanks for pointing that out. I can't see myself going to Pennsylvania, so I guess I won't be visiting their store after all.

  4. Anthropologie is offering free shipping on orders of $100+, and they sent out their first dibs link for June new arrivals, too. I've shared the link & my personal picks in this post.

    Nordstrom is absolutely hitting it out of the park when it comes to their dress offerings. I've shared my dress picks in this post.

  5. Did anyone else get the "The Banana you love is back" email this week? It sounded a lot like the email from Mickey a few weeks ago: "we're listening to you", "quality", etc., is this a new marketing trend?
