If
you are stopped
by a J.Crew store this past 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 was/ is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)
Site must not be working, they have those flash prices on sale page, but when you add to cart new price.... not that I need anything.... was just browsing!
ReplyDeleteMy VPS sent me an email saying:
ReplyDeleteNew Launch starting today! A smaller one but new dresses, sandals, jewelry, skirts, graphic tees and more
Unfortunately no pics tho. I don't think I saw any new pieces online yet... Unless I'm just totally not realizing it
new arrivals? I get irritated that we get so little info or even wrong info... not trying to throw your VPS under the bus. But J Crew has been so terrible lately.
DeleteDresses H7376 and H2348 look new to me.
Deleteusually i get a couple of pics with the emails... i don't know... maybe she just didn't have any... maybe we'll see them tomorrow online?

DeleteI meant boxes were coming today to the store.
DeleteThanks Ina. It must be frustrating for store employees as well...how is anyone to know. seems like they are trying and/changing to see what works. I think what really works is a good promo! Just my 2cents.
DeleteNo visit for me as expected. I boxed up a bunch of returns and sent back on Friday. I received an email this morning that my Friday order is "on schedule" so we'll see if everything ships.
ReplyDeleteNot a vent, but disappointing that my UPS tracking for a Madewell order I placed last week showed an exception and the description stated that the "merchandise was missing from box." So that was disappointing but Madewell processed my return immediately and reordered the item which is now on backorder.
I was off this weekend but am working tonight. I did hear we are getting a bit of new merch in this week. Anthro Blogger, I am picking up the star cashmere sweater today and will let you know if it's a miss for me.
ReplyDeleteAnne, I am so sorry to hear about your Madewell box. What a bummer! Backorder stinks. I finally received an order containing the camo foundry pants and going out blazer on Friday. It had been all over my state for an extra week. The box was left literally opened on my doorstep. I cannot believe the level of service UPS and USPS continuously provides. Thankfully everything was in tact.
I wore the going out blazer on Saturday to a memorial service, with black camerons, the paisley silk twill blouse, and black leather Louboutin fifis. I'm very pleased with that purchase - which is great since the foundry pants look absolutely ridiculous on me! Ugh. What a fail! I had very high hopes after Suz's pics but no bueno.
Oh sorry to hear the camo pants didn't work for you!
DeleteIwore mygoung out blazer for the first time yesterday too. Last minute swap, I originally put on my camo tuxedo, lol. I threw on my Madewell caldwell (super wide leg) trousers, the tie neck top in black and black sneakers (we were going into the city and I wanted to be able to walk fast if necessary and this was a good move!) I needed a jacket so I grabbed the going out blazer with ruffles, I did get a compliment so that's nice.
Cheri - thanks! I did manage to catch a popback on Nordstrom of the Madewell Quinn sandals which shipped today so I am excited about that. Thanks to those who noted last week that they do get popbacks at Nordstrom as well!
DeleteCheri, thank you! I hope it works for you and you can report back on whether it is worth continuing popback stalking for it. I think that sweater and many of the other "flash sale" items went back up in price, which seems to me like a very odd strategy!
DeleteI'm so disappointed in the long torso options this year! I can't be the only person loyal to JCrew swim, and as a tall person I've come to really rely on them!
ReplyDeleteI ended up buying a NWT suit from ebay. Not my preference, but I couldn't find any long torso options in my size (or even anything close to my size). Total bummer, it's like JCrew is forcing me away.
ha, same here! Also disappointed with the long torso options this year, and also ordered a NWT long suit from eBay. :|
DeleteFinally had time to try on a few items. My measurements are: 34C/120lbs/5’8
ReplyDeleteMadewell:
J2208 Denim pintuck cami dress: runs a tad large at size 4 in the bust and waist. Material is airy and sturdy. Design using boning for the upper half is beautiful but the pintucks that extend to the lower half create a puffy side profile near the belly. Really wish Madewell would make a top in this design.
G4889 Eyelet Bell Sleeve Shirt: Small is just right while the XS fits everywhere except the armpits. Material is a heavy but smooth cotton that drapes well. I believe this top came in white last summer. Did not purchase due to the bell sleeves.
J.Crew:
H7051 Mixed lace top in bright lemon: runs huge. Took a size 0 and still had room. The yellow is brightens my complexion but the top is boxy and unflattering.
Zara:
9878/077 Combined dress with cutwork embroidery: runs large so opted for the XS, which is still roomy. Material is a sturdy cotton that drapes well. The design of this dress is the highlight because it is absolutely gorgeous; the combination of clean lines, eyelets, and uneven hemline avoids the saccharine and childish image that plagues so many eyelet tops and dresses currently on the market, including those at Zara. I am quite glad to have bought the last one available in store because it is sold out online in almost all sizes.
Uniqlo Tomas Maier Collab:
Just no to the women’s v neck polo and terry t shirt. The material for both are thin and cheaply made. The v neck polo in the colors orange and nude requires a cami. The terry t shirt snags easily.
The men’s collection uses much thicker cotton by comparison. Really recommend the polo and short sleeve shirt.
I finally reached my limit with J.Crew’s bs. My order that was scheduled for delivery no later than today did not ship Friday and failed to ship again today. I called and received lame excuses about the weekend and holiday but still no firm timeline as to when it will ship. That was the last straw. I cancelled that order and both of my other pending orders, in spite of the good prices. I’m following the lead of Jerry Seinfeld and cancelling them out of spite, lol.
ReplyDeleteI understand your frustration. I have in the past tried to cancel orders and have been told..no can do! they can't cancel anything after one hour...or maybe even less time now. I agree they have really gone down hill.will you actually be able to cancel the orders? Maybe its only for Canadian shoppers this applies.
DeleteI’ve been told that in the past, too, but now I know that there is someone who has the authority to cancel because my orders all show cancelled now.
Deletewell...this is good to know. wow. i had no idea.
DeleteJeanne, I had the same experience! My two orders from May 24 and 25 were scheduled for delivery no later than last Friday, 6/1. Neither has even SHIPPED yet. I live about two hours from their VA distribution centers so I literally could have gone to pick them up. What bothers me the most is that I keep getting e-mails from J. crew that my orders are "on schedule"... yet 4 days after they were promised to arrive, they haven't even shipped yet. COME ON.
ReplyDeleteSo it’s not just me?! I hope your order arrives soon! It’s ridiculous that they're letting things get so out of hand and then lying to customers about when to expect orders. They need to have fufillment staff working OT to get this resolved. I’m very glad I cancelled because 1. I will be out of town for a few days and I really don’t want to be worrying about packages left at my door while I’m away. 2. I ordered new shorts to replace some raggedy ones and I planned to pack them, so I need them ASAP.
