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. Anyone else pumped for the Victoria Beckham x Target line coming April 9th? I have not cared a single bit about any of the past designer collabs but admit I am WAY excited about this one after seeing pics! Those flamingo pink wide-leg trousers will be mine, oh yes they will. :)

    1. I wasn't aware of this until now, so thanks for pointing it out! No must haves for me (which is fine as it will all probably sell out in 3 minutes and then be on eBay at thrice the price!), but I do love the orange (i wear a lot of orange and I think this one is perfect), the marigold, the daisy appliqués, and the bee print.

  2. This is only tangentially related, but I've been fairly successful at curbing my J.Crew and clothing shopping. That said, I've been really into skincare lately! For some reason, dropping $25 here and there at Sephora doesn't leave me feeling guilty like random clothing purchases do. Curious... and so fun when I can try random things in samples and promos at no additional cost :-)

    3. Are you kidding me? They look like craft projects and will not survive 1 episode on project runway.

    4. I just don't even know what to say. My husband said, "that's literally the dumbest pair of pants I've ever seen." 😂

    5. I saw these the other day and was completely baffled. I guess they would be good for a rainy day ;) Their were other pairs equally ridiculous. Like one with a black tutu over the jeans. I'll see if I can find it...

    8. Realizing I'm much closer to 50 than 40, I asked myself what I would have thought of these at 20, or even 15. I think my 15-yr old self might have liked the shimmer sequin jeans, even though I was already totally into the preppy look (which is funny in and of itself as I had absolutely *no* money. But I doubt I would have bought/worn anything that extreme even if I could have afforded it.
