Weekly Share: Other JCrew-like Retailers

This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent" posts), where we can share our finds from other retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew (like LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann Taylor, and the like.)

If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.

Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.

  2. I see Loft is back online again, but some of the prices last night were truly bizarre. There was a corduroy skirt (for summer?) for only $19.99 plus 30% off, which would drop the price to below $14. I saw other clothing items that were under $10. What a mess. The site is hardly different than before, a few added features but nothing that should have caused an outage for an entire day or more. The computing industry is full of sloppy programmers who don't double-check their work and managers whose main concern is ticking off tasks from a list instead of making sure changes are implemented properly. In the case of programming retail web sites, the cost of poor programming and hasty implementations must be hundreds of thousands of dollars per day.

  3. Saw some shorts in ON yesterday that are very similar to last year's horizon short - 3" inseam, wide rugby stripes with a rope belt. Don't see them online yet.

  5. Are there any LOFT codes out there? I just realized mine is expired :(

  6. I posted this earlier in the week, but thought it should go in the appropriate conversation (i.e. here)!

    I seldom go into the Gap but found myself there last weekend and tried their Slim Crop pants in black. IMO, they are vastly superior to JC's Cafe Capri (at least on me) -- better stretch, better fabric, better overall fit. The Cafe Capris have never been quite right for me -- they've become baggy and shapeless after only a couple of wearings.

    Worth trying!

  7. Rue La La - In the Sperry top-siders boutique there are a pair of Liberty print sneakers. I posted about it here.

  8. mommydearest - Regarding Loft, try SUMMERSAVE for $25 off $50. I clicked something and got off of the code site I found it on before I got a chance to read more. I haven't tried a mock checkout.

  9. Gigi, thank you so much! I saw that code too, and tried it, but didn't work. I'm trying sale - maybe it is good on full-price only?

  10. mommydearest - Y, those $25 off $50 only work on full price items. *Maybe* on promo items, but definitely not sale. You might check tonite. I think their flip is at 9p pst and the codes start showing on the website.

  11. Banana Republic - Save 40% off up to 2 regular price items with XJQWL7NTW8B7. Good Sat, 6/11 only.

    Not valid on men's and women's bags, shoes, Monogram and Heritage. Timeless collection, Monogram Dresses, and Chan Luu.
