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. I stopped off a my local store yesterday and mind you it's small compared to others nationwide. The guys section is pathetic. They had hardly of the new inventory from the last new roll out, they still had a big summer section and very few fall items, I was disappointed :( which means I'll have to order online and as most people have experienced sizing has been off lately. Don't get me wrong the SA's at my local store are great. It seams that most of their inventory both the last of the summer and sales items don't seam to be moving.

  2. I stopped by my local madewell last night and was surprised that, for the first time since I've been shopping there - we're talking, like, years - they didn't have an extra percentage off sale items. and this is a store that almost always has 30% off sale, or even 50% off sale jewelry. I was truly very surprised. they did have a huge selection of new items, though, and some of the new bags in the ink and burgundy colors really are beautiful.

  3. Happy Friday, JCA's!

    My B&M doesn't have too much of a sale section or a new arrivals section - it's a little odd. However, I made out pretty good on their sale accessories - a calf-hair leopard print headband for $5, socks for $1.50-$3, last season's tortoise barrettes for $3.50. A lot of these things are in glass jars that may be up on a shelf in the sale section so it may be worth taking a look. Lots of bangles with sale prices that are on tables of regular-priced clothing as well.

    1. I never bought one but I think those olive Lucite necklaces would be great going into fall.

  6. I got an email yesterday for 50% off sale if you use your j.crew card, code CARDPERK. Things that were not final sale were getting the 50% off. I picked up the ruffle dress in vibrant paisley for $59 so half off the promo price of $118. Great price for silk and I can return it!!

  7. My store in Tukwila WA has random small promos, like 20% off scarves and t shirts, 25% off shorts, and 40% off sale. No promos on the newest stuff. I was doing returns and got in a conversation with the SA, a college aged kid, about promos and prices. He said that he also waits for a promo to buy and combines it with his employee discount because his discount isn'the good enough on its own to afford things. Thought that was an interesting perspective that matches what is often said here.

    1. Yeah, JC really seems to be trying to move away from doing full-price promos and only offering them on specific categories of items. Wonder how well this strategy is working. I popped in at a store briefly last night and the SAs seemed desperate for something to do (more than a few offered to help me find things.) The store seemed quiet, with only a handful of customers. Banana Republic was having a big F&F sale so my husband and I went there instead -- MUCH busier in comparison.

      I wish JC would just offer that 20% promo on New Arrivals, instead of hand-picking select items. The move would be effective, at least for me -- I would feel better paying just a tiny bit less on some items. Mind-tricks, in part, but effective all the same. Oh well.

  8. OT....Canadian JCA's on Friday airing of "the Social" Cynthia had on J Crews brush stroke skirt with matching ruffle top. Seeing actually on I find I do not like it.

  9. I'm a little late to the party, however, if any of you happen to see the JCrew gingham linen pink/ivory pants in a size 12 in your local store, please email me at asisterthing2012@gmail.com. I would love to find these. Thank you! :)

    1. I have these and they are awesome. Call a store and ask them to look them up in the store inventory for you. The Charleston Store is very helpful, some stores are clueless and will try to tell you they are sold out because they may only see a few stores that have one. One pair is all you need and you would be surprised at how many times I have found an item that is very low inventory.

    2. Thank you, @Doodle Dachshund! I will try that when stores open tomorrow morning. Hoping I get lucky!! Thanks again. :)

    3. I agree with DD, I called a store that showed only 1 in stock and it was actually there! This was right after I received the wrong item and the CS representative searched the whole country for it to no avail :-/ The Georgetown store is very helpful too. Good luck!

    4. I called and a very helpful associate said her screen showed my item as sold out. I called another store and they had my item. My store also had items that don't show up on the website anymore. I looked to compare pricing. Something seems to have changed.
