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. This morning I found a pair of the leopard cross-strap sandals. With the discount they were just over $20. I do hope the inside of the straps is leather! I also ordered the leopard slides, so I will have to choose when I can compare them side-by-side. The leopard slides I found in my size and 1/2 up - since this style shoe is often lamentably short. The strap sandals were only in whole sizes so I got my usual size based on reviews. Is anyone familiar with the fit on these sandals?

    I feel guilty when I order two sizes (which is fairly often), but really it is a quality control issue because I am always the same size. For instance I ordered the 7" chino shorts in white, and sized up to a 6 because this style of short can be a bit small on my thighs. The 6 was too big, so I exchanged for my usual 4, which fit perfectly. I was so pleased with the fit, I ordered navy blue in 4. They went on but were tight and not a nice look at all. So I exchanged those for green, and the green were also tight. When I went to return the blue and green I tried on the honey brown which fit perfectly just like the white. But the store would not do an even exchange at the sale price, so I had to pay more to get a pair that fit. Just for fun I also tried on the pink (too small) and the grey (fit but I hated the color).
    Same issue with the eyelet funnel neck shirt, I ended up ordering this shirt in 8, 6 & 6 Tall. I was ready to give up on it, but went ahead and ordered 4 and 4 Tall. The 4 Tall is a good fit. It is larger in the bust and shoulders than the 4, not just longer. I have never worn a 4 Tall top in my life, I am a regular 6, and a small or medium depending.

    1. I too, am waiting for the leopard criss cross slides. Was waiting for them to get low, never thought they'd get THAT low so pleasantly surprised. I'm also waiting for the sleeveless mini denim dress and the long chambray tunic dress.

      Speaking of multiple sizes...I tried the linen tank shift dress in both an XS and petite XS (didn't like either's fit on me, major disappointment), and placed two orders when the denim mini dress popped back in different sizes. Eyelet top did not work for me in any size either...as for the boyfriends, my regular size did not fit and then I lost interest in trying another...

      I was unexpectedly out of work last week but I'm anticipating walking in and to seeing a lot of new merchandise tonight, which is always exciting!

  2. I got the leopard cross strap sandals and actually didn't wear them yet, so I reordered at the current lower price (I paid more than double what they are now). The larger of my usual sizes fits and I like the fit on them better than the solid white (ivory or champagne it may have been).
    I have been having to order multiple sizes too. I think I tried four sizes in the white boyfriend denim, and my usual is the one I liked best, but you never really know unless you try multiple sizes.

    1. Thanks, now I have hopes they will fit well! That is if I do not get the 'we're sorry, but' email...

    3. Are we talking about the leopard Coras? Because I also ordered them this morning! And the gold leather cross-straps as well, one size up from my usual per the reviews. I was starting to feel bad about placing another order because I JUST ended my cycle of order/return/order/return and was considering giving my credit card a break. But the prices seemed too good to pass up.

    4. There are several leopard sandals:
      I ordered:
      Cross-strap sandals in leopard calf hair
      Item J0191 - these have two x's front and mid foot plus a heel strap. They are 34.99 before discounts.
      Also the Leopard Cora crisscross sandals H8778 that have a single wide x on the front and no heel strap. They are $26.99 before discount.
      I'd say both are too good to pass up, but I do hope I only keep one pair!!!
      Then there are also Leopard gladiator sandals, but I never wear anything with an high ankle strap as no need to call attention to my chunky calves...

  4. Web site fluttering again. I gave up on a $34 order when the website decided to send it to Austria at full price in € PLUS LOCAL TAXES, SHIPPING AND DUTY. Using the site’s corrective function changed the price on the items, but not in checkout. PHOOEY.

    1. I want that backback for myself.
      I'm slightly irritated I already bought my son a solar system Jansport right before their glow in the dark version was released. C'est la vie!

  8. Looking at the universal standard new arrivals, I see some are selling out in the large and up sizes. The red tea length dress, the tank dress, the skirt with a stripe and ponte pants with a stripe, for instance.

    1. I would be curious to know what the total quantity available in each size was to begin with.

  9. I am embarrassed to say I ordered 3 different Coras because of the discounted price: Leopard, Glitter in blue and Glitter in buff. Two of those have been cancelled - only the Glitter in buff is shipping. I hope everyone else gets their orders shipped.

    1. That's a shame. I ordered the leopard on Friday and they have yet to ship, yet are still showing available for ordering on their website. What size were you looking for? I know the store I work at had many.

    2. One of mine was shipped, the 10.5 but the 10 was not, even though it shows even today as available. Wonder if they are shipping from stores and it just takes longer?
