J.Crew Introduces "Freak Out Prices"

As many of you have probably noticed and already mentioned by now, J.Crew is very excited about the prices of some of their new arrivals. So much so that they highlight the item with "Freak Out Price" labels. (Which is very different then the "Best Seller" labels they have for some time now.)

Not sure how I feel about it but it certainly caught my attention. I am also not sure if I am freaking out by the price points, as they are still relatively high.

What are your thoughts on the label? Did it work and get you to buy?

30% Off Madewell's Must Have Tops, Shoes & Bags

Madewell is offering customers to take an additional 30% off select full priced tops, shoes and bags. (Prices are already marked.) This offer expires September 19, 2016. The fine print includes:

Prices as marked at madewell.com reflect discount. In-store discount as advertised. Offer valid on purchases of select tops, handbags and shoes made in Madewell stores and at madewell.com from September 16, 2016, 12:01am ET through September 19, 2016, 11:59pm ET. Offer not valid on phone orders. Offer cannot be applied to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards and cannot be redeemed for cash. In-store discount automatically taken at the register. Terms of offer are subject to change.
This is basically an extension of yesterday's promotion with the addition of tops. So it must have been a good sale if they extended it.

Will you be taking advantage of this promotion? If so, please share!

Also, please help out by offering your styling advice. Feel free to include links to your blog (where you incorporated that piece) or to Polyvore (where you showcased an outfit with that piece). Thanks in advance! :)
