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. Not going this weekend. Waiting for new arrivals. Next week?

  2. I was up in the middle of the night with a restless baby and did some searching. The Abigail Borg dress came up and a liberty puffed but this morning they are not there when you search. Probably over the weekend they will be all loaded and you can search by item category (dresses, skirts, etc).

  3. No J.Crew visit for me. OT: some Madewell reviews on my blog.

    1. ALL the Liberty! Me, too! Going to London in December and can't wait to visit. I'll probably cry. ;)

  5. No visit - but today I am wearing the Summer Friday’s Tee in red, white denim skirt w frayed hem and striped Cora’s. Such a simple outfit but I have gotten at least 6 compliments this morning! Maybe it’s just that the tee is so cute.

    Can someone confirm when new arrivals will be in store and online next week?

    1. New stuff should be out of boxes by monday night and online probably tuesday.
      Also rewards program launches 7-31

    2. Thanks Ina. Curious to see both new arrivals and the new rewards program. I am wondering if this replaces credit card rewards or if this is in addition to those.

    3. Thanks, Ina! Appreciate the previews!

  6. Why doesn't J.Crew upload videos like this? I just happen to stumble upon it over the internet. I would love to see the designers talk about the upcoming pieces and what to expect.

    1. I worked at J Crew for a few years, and they would put videos like this on an employee website. Some of them were shareable, others were not. Some of them do make it onto instagram and facebook as well.

  7. OT but Cheritheberry posted about tretorn on sale at lordandtaylor at a great price. I ordered the net in black and ivory and love them. Perfect for summer. For the price and how practical they are I might keep a spare. I don't expect them to be the most durable but they're cute, cool and comfortable. Two of my girls liked as well so I ordered extra. They're always needing/wanting new sneakers so I might even keep some for the holidays.

    1. I'm so glad you and your girls liked them, too! I got and am keeping the same colors. I did have to size down from my regular 7 to a 6.5, and quite possibly could have taken a 6. I have a 7 in the natural to return if anyone is looking. That really made me happy to hear Suz!

      Delete
    2. That's so funny. I couldn't have sized down any more. Are your feet narrow?

      Delete
    3. Yes - but the length is the same lol!! I don't get it. My leopard Coras were tts where I know most sized up. *shrugs*

  8. FWIW Madewell did call and email regarding my website issues. She told me they get a lot of complaints from ppl using iPads. I'd imagine most of us are on mobile devices these days and not shoppingmfroma desktop computer. She called at a not great time so I didn't even want to ask if my items were available.

    1. It does seem like the site is functioning better. I was finally able to order but the only payment I was able to get to work was PayPal.

  9. No visit for me this weekend but I was super excited to grab the Pull-on easy pant in floral-printed silk twill item #J1076. They are now sold out but have finally been marked down and the extra percent off applied making them $50. They have been popping back quite a bit so hopefully others will be able to grab them at a great price.

    5. Which pants? We are talking about the pull on,in the tropical floral. Not sure which green or brown ones you mean.

      Delete
    6. Edited due to typos:
      I bought them yesterday online on sale. I don't do brown, but I know myself and I'll go crazy looking for them in a few weeks so I wanted to just get them home and try styling them with my existing items.
      These read brown to me. Not charcoal.

      Delete
    7. Really? They were charcoal to me. And sartorial choices said hers looked good with navy. Wonder if there are diff dye lots?

      Delete
    8. I've only seen them in the store. Maybe it was the lighting or because they were next to the yellow and green bodysuits...although I just realized we both probably saw them in the same spot!
      I'm glad to hear that. I'm 50/50 on them so we shall see!

    6. @p banos, no actually! I have only posted a few reviews on Madewell! I am not sure what metrics were used by VC and J.Crew to select participants. Regardless, I am quite excited about the community!

  11. Of course I didn't manage to get a pic, but I FINALLY wore my white wide leg linen pants (with the sailor buttons and lace up back) out to a birthday dinner. I paired them with the white linen Rhodes blazer, the drapey puffy sleeve blouse in black with white polka dots, black satin sandals with a wood platform heel and a skinny red silk scarf (that has black and white in it too). I admit I was a little "nervous" wearing almost all white, but my husband strongly approved and I saw my mom later on and she complimented it too.
    I only wish the pants had belt loops as the waist is a little loose and they fall to my hips. I didn't want to size down because I didn't want them to be clingy on the hips.

  14. Factory has some nice things: button downs, (stipe blue with roses and printed ruffle) and collared grey sweater( have navy version form last year), and grey suede Anya’s. They also have some sort of pants that look like Cameron - effortless slim crop.,. Does any know anything about these.... considering these.... but factory is hard to return and that makes me think twice....lol

    2. I like the grey Anya's - though these just aren't as comfy or well made as the Cece, which I love, love, love. I"ve bought a few Anya's but always find myself hating them by the end of the day when my feet are pinched. I wish they hadJ Crew Cece in this lovely grey.

    3. You right.... it’s all about the color.... that’s what draws me to them.... I did own a Zoe from few years back that I liked a lot....same color.... but my pregnant colleague went home in them one

  15. Just got home from work. Posted some quick pics of women's rollout in instastory. Never did that before so not sure how it worked out...

    ReplyDelete
  16. This is a nice roll-out. The Abigail Borg print is pretty. I appreciate the information it has about the artist. Takes me back to when J.Crew used to highlight collab designers.
    Also love the photo shoot of Carolyn Murphy.. oh how I miss it. It’s like a catalog shoot!

    I ordered with the 30% promo before J.Crew changes their mind and excludes some coveted items.
    -Reversible Puffer Jacket in Liberty Floral
    -Olive sequin Jackie
    -Petite Vintage Straight jean in two tone
    -Hand Embellished Peplum Top

    I wanted to order the Borg floral tie-pant, the tie blouse, the pink silk v neck top and matching skirt but it wasn’t 30% off...I’ll probably wait it out.

    I’m surprised the Stubbs loafers are 30% off..might not be by tomorrow. I’ve always admired Stubbs, but I’m not feeling the fly print. Too bad. They have my size and it’s 30 off..
    Also like the fanny pack. Cute how it’s styled in pink velvet, worn by Carolyn M.

    And loyalty program is up!

      I can’t believe the stuff I ordered last night, already shipped (except for the embroidered Peplum top). And it says it’ll arrive on 8/2. Wonder if this new member program has the expedited shipping??

    8. ...while my package was sent via UPS mail innovations, as usual, the slowest available way. :(

  17. I think some of the new items are out this morning but I'm not feeling it, too much 70's vibe for me with the jumpsuits and blouse styles. Lots of items that wouldn't work for the short waisted, and just plain short, pear shape I am. I think too without the catalog I lose that other way of looking at the items. The website, and the way the models are styled, don't tempt me into buying. I hope others find things to love. Maybe Brooks Brothers Red Fleece for me this fall.

  18. I enjoyed looking at the new rollout this morning, and 30% got me to bite on more than I expected. Got the Abigail Borg shirtdress even without % off, I just love the print and had to try it. The Rewards page in my account isn't working, though, just sits there endlessly loading...

    2. Hi Cheri, Is the dress silk or poly?

      Delete
    3. Thank you! the website description is confusing. It describes it as a "pretty silk dress" but then goes on to say it is poly. I was really hoping for silk!

    4. maybe it is silk? Felt poly and I figured at that price, had to be.

    5. Can you please check the label inside the dress? Thanks so much.

  19. Some J.Crew and J.Crew Factory reviews on my blog.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love some of the Abigail Borg prints. The only styles that might work for me are the skirt and the tank top. Without being included in the promo, I'll wait on these. I should have ordered the skirt when it first came out in the last roll out, as it was included in promo for the first day or two. I'm also interested in the Evie flats in seaweed, but while not "excluded" from promo, the % off does not apply. So while I won;t be ordering anything at full price, I am encourage that there are actually items to add to my wishlist.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I bought all the Liberty items I was interested in but will wait for the Abigail Borg items to be included in the promo. I'm cautiously optimistic with this rollout! It's looking a bit more feminine, tailored, and colorful than before, and I placed my first substantial order in a long time. (Although, as much as I love Liberty everything, I do hope that J. Crew eventually will stop relying on collaborations as much for prints and start designing more of their own in-house.)

    I also appreciate the generous promo and the straightforward nature of the Rewards program with free shipping!

    1. I agree with you on the prints, as it seems the J crew prints offered are fairly uninspired compared with the collaborations.

      Delete
  22. I didn’t order any Abigail Borg stuff since it was excluded from the promo. But I did pick up the liberty collared tippi, liberty skirt, a salut tee in red/white (though that was impulse buy - probably a return because I don’t need another graphic tee), and a lightweight tippi to try out. I like that the lightweight tippi has some cotton mixed in so I can hopefully wear all year. I get quite hot teaching but don’t always want short sleeves in the fall. I’m interested in the sequin Jackie in burgundy and navy and might pick that up still. Overall, some pretty styles and a positive move forward.

    1. i was also eyeing the collared tippi. the one from last season didn't work on me, but this one is very cute!

    4. I'm sorry Lynn, I won't be back at the store until Friday. Perhaps Ina or another JCA can help.

It is so helpful!

  25. I bought the Liberty puffer jacket. I missed out on last year's version, plus this was included in the promo. I hope I love it. Yesterday I bought the Factory version of the quilted downtown field jacket online. I tried it on over the weekend in store. It's part of the Mercantile line and it was a surprise love when I tried it on. We'll see how it holds up over time.

  30. Though I'm pleased with the new rollout, does anyone else find J crew's dresses rather matronly? I'm petite, so while these styles might look nice on fashion models, I look frumpy in these mid length shirtdress styles.

    1. I also wish some of the new offerings came in petite sizing

    2. I agree, that's another reason I have started to look elsewhere.

    3. Also agree. Same with the skirts. Lengths aren’t flatteting on me and I do not feel like paying to get things altered.

      Delete
    4. yeah, midi skirts don't work for me either.

      Delete
    5. Apparently I'm in the minority, but I love that they're finally offering some longer skirts. I'm tall and I'm old and I have no interest in skirts that are so short I have to worry about exposing my privates. *shakes cane*

      Delete
    6. I prefer good old knee length. In the heyday of the No 2 pencil skirts they hit right above my knee cap. I miss that length. No everything is too short too long. There seems to be no in between

      Delete
  31. I'm happy enough with the rollout to order a few things (it has been a long time). I still wish there were more frilly things, but I realize I'm in the minority. I wonder if the Point Sur high neck dress will be made into a top - that would be pretty.

    3. I think the $25 was so easy to miss in the first email (only found it because so many had posted here) that the second email was to make sure their customers actually knew Madewell sent a $25 off code. I would have certainly missed it in the first email, so I was thankful for the second reminder.
