Spotted: J.Crew At T.J. Maxx {part 4}

As mentioned in previous posts (refer to here, here and here), J.Crew items have been spotted at various T.J. Maxx's around the country. The items ranged mainly from shoes to special occasion dresses. There were also items like jackets, sweaters, silk tops, and even wedding dresses, for sale. All J.Crew items had prices ranging from $14.99-19.99 each!

The "J.Crew items at T.J. Maxx" phenomenon has died down a bit, but there are still some reports of J.Crew sightings. So, since the other posts are no longer on the "main page" I thought it was time to create another one- a "Part 4" to the other posts- where we can continue the discussion.

So... if your local T.J. Maxx is carrying some deep discounted J.Crew items from the current season, perhaps you would be willing to share with us in this post? :)

P.S. I noticed that many of you have already been reporting whether or not your local T.J. Maxx stores have J.Crew items, which by the way "thank you!" :) I really appreciate how helpful we are for each other!

  1. I haven't seen anything new at the San Diego (Point Loma) store lately. Bummer! I was still hoping to find some great shoes :)

  4. For those of us in the bay area -- perhaps if anyone hears about a Jeremy's sale they could also announce it?

  5. Haven't seen any in the Bay Area. But I *did* just make a lil' JPEG celebrating the Grand Opening that's coming up for Emeryville.

    Woo hoo!

  6. I found a pair of j crew Lucie black suede high heels in a size 9 - they were a lone pair at the San diego point Loma store a few weeks back (like smarty said, it was cleaned out!). Not my size, so if you'd like to buy them e-mail me (kate.cw.lee at gmail) by Friday before I return them. Thanks!

  7. OT - Does anyone have or know of reviews on either the Frenchie slicker or the Charmeuse silk pencil skirt from the latest rollout? It's impossible for me to see anything except online.

    Thanks!! marisa

  8. I have been in TJ Maxx in Queens, NY, and in West Caldwell, NJ, but have seen no merchandise from J.Crew. I'll keep looking, but I've about given up.

    I got a pair of mackenzie midheels (gold) for myself but decided i wanted twylas instead which I bought from another JCA... so if anyone wants Size 10 Mackenzie Midheels They are yours for $35 shipped. emilyeeg at gmail.com

  12. I called my TJ Maxx (in northwest Florida), asked if they carried J. Crew, and was told that they did not. I thought the woman I talked to seemed a little out of it, so I went anyway to check, and sure enough, they did not.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I found j crew swimsuit separates at the Orlando TJ Maxx (International Drive) earlier this week. There weren't many matching sizes, but they had several of the pieces that are currently on sale on the website. The price was $4.99 for the bandeau top, tankini, and bikini bottoms.

    I also found a Madewell pair of jeans at Marshall's (Florida Mall). I am a big madewell fan, but these jeans were really fugly, so I passed them up.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I have been to both TJ Maxx in Saginaw, MI and Marshalls in Midland, MI and haven't found anything :(

  16. NoJcrewInJapan: I was eying up the Frenchie Slicker online as well, but then saw it in person on Saturday and was pretty bummed out. I can't comment on the fit because I did not try it on, but the quality looked very, very poor. The ruffles were adorable, but the fabric was so incredibly thin!! Even my husband commented on how lacking in quality it was. Absolutely not worth the $165 they're currently asking for IMO.

  17. Sunday at KOP, I saw 2 pairs of gwendoyln tstraps in ivory (size 7, I forget what the other size was), and satin mary janes, also ivory. Also saw same taffeta pop on mini in papaya, sz 6, and featherweight cashmere shell in citron, sz M. A few bathing suits as well, but nothing that really matched-- everything sold as individual pieces. So, nothing new, just returns/same inventory.

  18. I just wanted to say THANK YOU again to Jaymie who sent me a pair of pumpkin Juliets from her TJ Maxx in California. They are absolutely perfect!! Jaymie was great, and I really appreciate her help!

  19. I am heading to TJ Maxx this weekend to see if they have some J.Crew stuff in my area. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :)

  20. Just was at TJ Maxx in Mission Viejo, CA no shoes but did manage to pick up a black cecelia dress short in size 6.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Some J Crew items at the Galleria TJ Maxx in Houston. No shoes, but some random tops and pants. Have to hunt considerably.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I have not found any JCrew lately at Palos Verde or Westchester California stores. I did make three successful purchases from fellow JCA. You ladies are great.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I haven been checking TJ Maxx almost everyday in DFW, Texas (I'm sick, I know). Anyway, I didn't go on Monday, and I'm afraid that is when they might have finally gotten in their shipment. When I went last night, all that was left was one pair of the braided flip flops in size 8 for $7.99. I might still check it out some, but I am about to give up hope. If anyone in north texas has had recent luck - please let me know. If any JCA has any non-metallic heels for sale in size 10, I am willing to pay for shipping and your trouble! My email is mrs.jshutt at gmail.com

  24. I've been haunting my local TJ Maxx for nearly a month now and to no avail. I've found three pairs of shoes in that time, all in size 12. SO... if anyone stumbles across any shoes (anything but flip-flops) in size 10, let me know. I see that the above poster is in search of the same, so hopefully one of us finds some success soon or some kind help. I am totally willing to compensate for the cost, shipping and your time. Thanks!

  25. I tried on the Frenchie slicker and loved it. I am a 0 and am used to their 0s fitting a little big--this one was a bit more snug, but in a good way. I would have bought it on the spot if they had had it in other colors (they only had the tan/beige--whatever they are calling it). The fabric is very shiny, which may be why the previous poster said it looked cheap; I actually liked it myself. But I've now thought about it, and have decided it is probably the most impractical jacket ever. In the March catalog the model is wearing it inside, but I don't think you could get away with it because the sheen definitely lends it an outdoor slicker look. And I can't imagine acutally wearing it as a slicker, since you'd get absolutely drenched if you tried this! HTH.

  26. I had never been to TJ Maxx, but when I heard that there might be some J Crew, I went right away. I didn't find anything at my store in OKC, but I'll check back in a couple weeks to see if they have anything new.

  28. I have a pair of Everyday Leather Flats in black size 8. I purchased them from someone here on the board. They are from TJMAXX. I LOVE them, but they are too big. they are probably more like an 8-1/2. I can ship them for $38 (This would be free shipping, I paid $38). email me at hmidoux at aol.com

  31. So I'm planning a Saturday trip to about 7 different TJ's in New Jersey- I live in Manhattan and would be highly surprised if our stores had ANYTHING hence I am leaving the city to do my search. I've read a couple of posts about the stores in West Caldwell (nothing), Marlboro (shoes only), Howell and Tom's River (nothing). Has anyone been to the other NJ stores or the stores in Westchester/Long Island/Staten Island? I'm willing to venture and will happily bring back/report what I find.

    If you have any info, please let me know!

  39. Nothing at Tyson's Corner, Virginia...cleaned out! But, they do have some nice Coach shoes and Lilly Pulitzer heels!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I guess the fun and hunt is finally over at TJMaxx. I wonder if the discount store in San Francisco still has any JCrew?

    ReplyDelete
  41. yeah, Alexis and KatyO - nothing in Bristol, CT either. i guess it was fun while it lasted. and thanks to all the great JCAs i did score bargains off of.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Dara,

    I've checked out TJ Maxx in Pompton Plains, Paramus, Edgewater, and Secaucus (NJ). I don't think any of the northern NJ stores got any J Crew, unless I was just horribly off with my timing. I've gone several times and never found anything...hope this helps to narrow down your search!

    ReplyDelete
  43. OT: I'm thinking CT JCAs ought to start a group like the DCJCAs. :)

  44. Checked two T.J. Maxx's on Long Island. Nothing in New Hyde Park and nothing at the one in Greenvale either :(

  46. katyO - I'm totally in for a CT JCA group! :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Probably not the best place to post this but, I traded some Uggs and got a pair of NIB Salinas from JCA'er Lee. I have decided after trying to find something to go with them that they just don't work for me.

    They are Salinas Patent Flat, Red, Size 8.5. There are Foot Petals on the bottom (to prevent slipping), but they have not been worn other than to try on. I still have the original box.

    I would love to trade them for another pair of 8.5 flats (preferably LuLus!) but I would be willing to trade them for a jacket or sweater in size 2 or S, or just sell them. I'm pretty reasonable so make me an offer if you're interested!

  49. The items being sold at TJ Maxx are items that are not up to quality standards. They cannot be sold or returned in regular Jcrew stores or outlets.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Well both pair of my gold metallic Tywla's are perfecto as well as the other two pairs of heels I got from fellow JCA. I have no reason to return them. The Tywla's are online for 175.00 as I type. I paid $55 for both pair. Talks about a great TJ/JC deal. I saved over $300 dollar. I'll take JC supposedly subpar shoes for that cheap price anyday.

  57. So I headed out on my TJ Maxx road trip this weekend to no avail. Visited 3 NY stores in College Point, Yonkers and Mt. Vernon and after a lot of rummaging I found no J.Crew merchandise whatsoever. I'm considering tackling some of the NJ stores this coming weekend and would like to know what other JCAs think... worth the trip? I am very jealous of my fellow aficionadas and dying for a cheap shoe find myself... ;)

    Any insight, please send me a quick note: darashapiro (at) gmail (dot) com. Thanks!
