Today is the last day for the additional 20% off sale items (click here) with no minimum & free shipping on orders of $150+ using promo code EXTRA20 online.Moreover, today is most likely the last day for the additional 20% off promotion that is running at B&M (brick & mortar) stores (refer to "20% Off Final Sale Items Still Going On In Stores" post).
From the comments, this was the promotion many of us were {finally} waiting for. Many JCAs took advantage of this offer and stocked up on summer items (after all, 20% off and free shipping is a very tempting combination). :) However, some JCAs mentioned holding out for the Fall merchandise (especially after all those sneak peeks of the latest August catalog!) ;)
Are you planning to take advantage of this offer today? If so, which items do you plan to get (if you can get them)? ;)
Wasn't the least bit tempting for me. I am not willing to part with money on final sale items still priced WAY TOO HIGH! JCrew is crazy with their final sale IMO. $100+ for a jacket or sweater I cannot return. I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteI bought the Falling-Petals Jacket (I haven't seen it IRL) I hope I like it! I loved the color & for some reason I really wanted it. Glad I was able to get it for the sale price. Not sure it was final sale though. Hmm :/
ReplyDeleteI just wish it was FREE SHIPPING ALL THE TIME for at least the card members as I am with Banana Republic. I placed couple orders on Monday, so I'm done with the final sale unless there are some good pop backs.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, yesterday I received my "Space-dyed Cotton Cardigan" in size small. The cotton is so, so soft... however, it's a bit long for me. If you'd like to get it email me at: notaryjulee@gmail.com
If there aren't any takers I'll be returning it today. I'm asking for $103 ($79.99 + 9.75% sales tax + shipping + shipping it to you + paypal fees).
i just have to say that since i found this blog and all the other JC blogs i have spent way too much time on the JC website. You ladies are a lot of fun!! today it is off the the nordies sale for shoes for my 15 y/o son and to check out JC* and the GAP although their offerings are not very exciting these days
ReplyDelete*concept store Paramus will I see one of you there?
I am waiting for one popback item that sold out early and hasn't been discussed on this blog so I think it's one of those "hidden gems". I have one already that I wear a lot so want another one and will wait patiently, sale or no sale. Maybe today will be my lucky day. Otherwise, nada.
ReplyDeleteI am waiting patiently for the aurora t straps to pop back. Otherwise...i am holding out for the august.rollouts.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for further markdowns today. Since there weren't any on my items, I will continue to wait. I am looking forward to seeing the new items IRL next week. :)
ReplyDeletejcmama: you've got mail! :)
ReplyDeletePatina, I picked up the Aurora t-straps last week! Before the 20% off and free shipping of course. They popped back in only one size. Based on Goldenmeans' review, I sized down so I hope they fit. My guess is the restocks will be crappy while this code is in effect and there will be a big one tomorrow, so watch for the Auroras!
ReplyDeleteI usually don't find much in final sale online, but I did use this promotion yesterday for some basics for myself and my husband. And actually, only one of my nine items showed up as "final sale" on my confirmation email. I also got a blazer from last year for a good price, so hopefully that fits!
ReplyDeleteI did take advantage of this promo yesterday to get some items that I had tried on before, so I know they will fit.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I picked up was the birch cloth suit - I am glad I returned it when it was FP ... I snagged both the jacket and the skirt yesterday for $88 total :) I also picked up a polo and some shorts for my DH. I hope it all ships.
So now I am holding off for fall, unless there are some good popbacks. The website hasn't updated yet, so I am not sure if it will.
Are the B&Ms still offering the 20%off sale items in stores today as well? TIA! :)
ReplyDelete@GoldCoastGal
ReplyDeleteThough the falling petals jacket is sheer , I kinda like it. I was gonna review it on my blog tonight :0)
lilac cupcake - where did you find thie birch cloth suit? I wanted that one but couldn't justify paying f.p. did your store have any more?
ReplyDeletelet me know! jeclark (at) mac dot com
GCC, I also got the falling petals jacket and love it. The the sale price -20% it's not bad. It is sheer and you have to be careful where you wear it because of the fabric. I think you can really dress it up or down though. Hope you like it too!
ReplyDeleteWas there an update today?? I wanted to wait to place an order until it updated. Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't update with this the last day of the sale.
Woe that I ever bought my first cashmere. Now I keep checking back from more to scoop up on sale...
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone have thoughts on the silver lamé trellis jacket?
ReplyDeleteI was planning on taking advantage of the sale on the last day, depending on what popped up. I almost scored the painted floral tee, but it disappeared from my cart. So I decided to hold off and scour ebay instead.
ReplyDeleteAny thoughts on the Saturday Pant vs the Everyday Chino?
ReplyDeletePFP, had to scoop up the 4 pocket cashmere cardi- one for me and one for my mom. I feel your cashmere woe, as does my out the window clothes budget for the rest of the summer (I got the cashmere peplum jacket, too.)
ReplyDeleteOn the plus side, I just did like half of my Christmas shopping on the cheap. Men's wool crewnecks for bros and pop, wool argyle for DH, and aforementioned cashmere cardi for the ma. Also, with the free ship at Anthro, I scored a few of the 9.99 silk robes for myself, BF, and MIL. Not too shabby!
Derert Flower....thanks for the information. I will check early tomorrow and through out the week and let you know. Congratulations on getting a pair. I am so jealous...that is until I get mine. Have a great day
ReplyDeleteYay, I got my item on a popback with today's update. Hope it ships. I also ordered the double-serge cotton skirt, a pair of cropped chinos for only $15.99 and the new corduroy pencil skirt. I needed to add at least one fall item in the order. The sale update looked pretty good today but nothing else I want from the summer selection. Looking forward to fall...
ReplyDeleteMismasala,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you wear under the jacket since it is so sheer?
THanks:)
just got back from the paramus store where it was buzzing with employees stocking with new stuff,
ReplyDeletecute graphic tees,(I have my eye on about 3 or 4) which were missing this summer
lots of cashmere nice colors
new styles of sweaters
really cool chanelish tweed jacket and skirt
tons of jewelry
new styles of sweaters
nice colors in the cords both matchstick and boot
if you live near there check it out
Hayes- I have both pants and they're both great. The Saturday pants are more light weight than the Everyday Chinos. But the main difference is that the Chinos have a higher rise than the Saturdays and this can be a bit uncomfortable for some people. I recommend the City-Fit Surplus Chinos if you like a lower rise because those are some seriously comfy chinos! HTH!
ReplyDeletePatina - I snagged the Aurora T-straps this morning. It must have been before the update. I found them by punching the item # into the search. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAll - piperlime.com is offering an dadditional 20% off sales shoes and handbags, promo code: JUST4U. Valid through 7/23.
ReplyDeleteAurora T straps are there - can anyone comment on size and sytle? are they worth it??? I have papaya in my shop bag - but wonder about gold - not usually a gold fan and wonder if they are more neutral than metallic -does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteI landed a new job so rewarded myself by purchasing the Summer linen button-tab jacket and the Birch-cloth cotton belted jacket, both in navy. Will probably keep only one. Anyone have either and want to comment?
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteThank you Missmasala (Can't wait to see it on your blog!)
Thank you SC Crew! I can't wait to get it!
Ashley, Thanks for the info! I purchased before your recommendation of the surplus, they did have my size in white for 19.99. Oh well, I actually do like the higher rises so I will probably like the everyday chinos. I got one of each of the everyday and the Saturday so we'll see when I get them. Maybe I'll luck out and they will still have the surplus ones if I don't like the ones I ordered.
ReplyDeleteV. jealous, Isabella :) I was so bummed not to see any fall merch at the B&M store I was in last week. I'd have loved to see some fall jackets, tweed skirts, corduroy anything. *sigh* Must wait till September...
ReplyDeletewell, the CS lady said that the gold was REALLY shiny and gold so I went with sweet papaya in the AUrora's - anyone have these? I hope they are good and fit well as they are final sale!
ReplyDeleteJust got back from the Seaport b&m (NY), sale section is very picked over, but they did have the double serge big bow skirts in the pink and orange colors, on sale now for $39.99 + extra 20% off.
ReplyDeleteAlso, stopped in Ann Taylor, they have the JC chiffon pleated cardi (from Fall 2008)! $120, in black and heather grey, style # 233675. The buttons on this are a rhinestones! I have the putty color, I would definitely consider getting another one, but at a reduced cost.

I snagged a pair of Glenbrae suede flat boots in graphite from last year for around $100, a good investment for next fall (they were one of those hidden items that don't show up in the sale section, I had to type "boots" in the search box). And a pair of cropped matchstick jeans in vintage fade. I got free shipping and none were final sale.
ReplyDeleteCarrie-
ReplyDeleteI purchased the Aurora's in the last 20% sale and Really LOVE them. They are super cute, love the heel and the color is super! I wear a 10.5 and ordered an 11 and they are a perfect fit.
I snagged a few items today- most exciting was my much wanted Danielle sandals!
I did get two pairs of cords for 15.99 each, and the Delphine skirt that popped back up in my size. I hope it ships!
ReplyDeleteThanks to those of you that gave the review of the silk treasure tunic- I just received it and really like it! Perfect piece for a transition into Fall.
ReplyDelete@Summer , Goldcoastgal
ReplyDeleteI just posted a review for the falling petals jacket on my blog
http://missmasala.wordpress.com/2009/07/22/j-crew-falling-petals-jacket/
Not sure where to post this, but if anyone is looking for the Havona Tank in a size 10, the J.Crew in Burlington, VT had one in stock. (Happened to pass by this location on my way down from Montreal.)
ReplyDeleteIt was listed as $89.99 (which may not be the current, lowest price) and they still have the 20% off sale going on.
Just wanted to put it out there. The # is 802 864 5590.
Desert Flower...thank you so much. The Aurora T strap heels popped back into inventory this morning in my size and I grabbed them. Thanks so much
