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!

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!

I am surprised this is a one day sale. Makes me wonder what they have in store for us tomorrow...

Remember when J.Crew didn't run promotions back to back. I actually enjoy all these promotions, even though it makes it somewhat difficult to know when to buy something. I purchased a pair of pants the other day that are now slightly cheaper. I don't want to bother returning and rebuying, but it does make me wonder when to pull the trigger on buying something. ;)
