  1. I was able to order the "Rue Saint-Honoré" shirt in-store with 30% off. I just don't get where JCrew gets off excluding a freaking t-shirt from promos. A t-shirt that's been out for almost half a year now.

    1. Finally received this tee today after being on back order forever. I like it and happy to finally have it. Hope you like it too.

    2. How did it fit. I'm a size 4 and bought a small and I sort of wish I bought a medium. I hate fitted tees. The reviews seem to go back and forth on the fit.

    4. I have the Rue tee in a small and I'm a 4/6 on top. It wasn't fitted, but it went through the dryer accidentally and now wishing I had a medium to account for accidental drying mishaps which inevitably happen no matter how hard I try! I hope it works out for you.

    5. Thanks Anne, good to know it shrinks! I'll probably exchange it.

  3. Happy to see extra % off sale. Ordered Jackie wool cardigans in navy and black and crewneck sweater with feather sleeves in navy since they popped back in my size. Also, final items from 50% off sale are winners. Collection silk tie waist pants in sparkling sea. Beautiful drape and cut. Reviews mention ordering up, but they’re actually TTS since there’s an elastic waistband with size zip. Pairs well with Ratti floral print pj top and Liberty perfect shirt in Catesby Floral. Elsie velvet ankle wrap heels in Dark Pacific are a surprise find. This shoe is gorgeous. Navy blue is a deep saturated color & fit is tts.

  5. I'm holding strong. I'd like to try the drapey crepe top with the cap sleeves, and with extra 30% off it's certainly a fair price. But I can wait.

    1. I am holding strong as well although I did take the time to scroll through everything. I put a few things in my cart and then removed each one. They prices are still too high compared to January and trying to hold strong for no shop February. I have one perfect tee in my cart for $8.40. I may give in but feel ok with that.

    2. Good for you ladies! I thought I was strong by not buying anything...until 9:15 am. Yes, I still habitually look in the morning when I wake up.

      I was weak and I re-bought the funnelneck blouse (which I did not like AT ALL) when I bought it for the promo price of full -30%. I "needed" to try it again, it's been haunting me. And a 4T popped up in the cobalt blue I wanted. For free shipping and $20 it was risk I simply had to take. It's not going lower.

      Delete
    3. I still look too! I had to try the funnelneck top quite a few times. I finally settled on the red and white stripe when it was at a low enough price that I couldn't refuse. I hope the cobalt works for you too!

    4. Suz! I am so happy to hear that! I did see it in your insta but thought that was for trying on purposes only, and that it never made it to the actual closet. If I can find a way for it to work over the pixie pants I prefer to wear at my business casual job, I'll be very pleased with a different shape and the pop of color at that price.

    5. Cheri, it made it for now. đŸ˜‚ sometimes I get the realization that even if I love something it worst work and back it goes.

  6. I have been eyeing J Crews Penny Loafers for quite some time and finally purchased the Ryan penny loafers in metallic leather (light gold) I just received them yesterday and they are an instant Love for me. Very comfortable and can be paired with some much! I'm so glad that I finally made this purchase.

    1. Just fyi the loafers are now 30% off and I did get a price adjustment - yeah me!

  7. Fair prices now in the sale section, with the markdown yesterday and the 30% off today! I'm also still holding onto #NSF but only because none of the popbacks are my size. Definitely seeing a few popbacks that have piqued my interest but I am neither a XXS or a size 14. Lucky ducks!

    1. @eeps - Same here. It’s easy to not buy when nothing you like is available in your size. :(

  8. I was able to get the price adjustment on the Open-front sweater-blazer I bought in Heather Charcoal. The customer service rep reminded me that it shipped 9 days ago, it actually shipped 8 but the website shows a ship date a day earlier than tracking, and I had to hold it in. I wanted to say it's ridiculous to have a price adjustment policy that is shorter than the time it takes to deliver.

    Anywho, I'll still keep my eyes peeled for 50% of sale. I can always return it if it pops back.

  9. Has anyone purchased the new sweater blazer? If so, how is the sizing and what's the preferred color? I like both the pink and blue however, concerned the pink color may be too flat.

    1. Something about the cut and the colors give me serious Miami Vice vibes.

  10. Don Johnson would be proud thenđŸ˜‚ Too hot here in South Florida to wear to the Miami Boat Show though. I take it you like the pink?

  11. This sale is def testing me but I haven't caved (yet).

    Has anyone tried the new 10" toothpick jeans? I'm wondering if they're like the old 'lookouts' or are they even higher. I'm confused by the jeans now. I checked the description for some of my older jeans... My old "toothpicks" in Parker wash say 9" rise and some of my old "lookouts" say 10" rise in the descriptions when I search them. Since they changed the names I thought the new 9" was the old lookouts. I'm confused.

  12. I feel like there are a few things right now that JCrew is doing really well, and I decided to use that 30% off regular price code to buy some multiples.

    Purchased a second Going Out blazer (I have it in grey, bought it again in black - in fact, I'm wearing the grey right now!).

    Also the knit sheath dress in navy (already own it and love it in the army green color), and a couple of the new perfect fit tees (in the darker grey and one of the striped ones).

    I WOULD have bought another pair of Cameron pants, but they are excluded from the promo, so I held off.
