Sought & Found: Did you visit J.Crew this {past} 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 stopped by a J.Crew store this past weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the SUMMER sale, or to see some new FALL 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 was/ is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)

    Are coats in stores yet?

    Has anyone tried on the Winterlude Jacket (#48177)?

    No - the Labor Day weekend deals were too good at other stores for me to stop by JC. Agree that the marketing here is weird

    I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend! I went to the Grand Rapids, MI store on Saturday. I was disappointed that they didn't have the Indigo Floral Perfect shirt that just went on sale since I wanted to see it IRL before I buy. When I asked about it the SA told me it was an online only item...is that true? They did have a small sale section, but the prices were the same or more than the online prices- in the case of the Surplus Pant it was twice as much as online! I did see a new scarf that I don't think is online yet...it is 100% wool, cream with a black toile pattern and it quite pretty and nice quality. I tried the Hacking Jacket but the longer length of it didn't work for me since I am kind of short...guess I'll stick to the Schoolboy blazers. Speaking of which, I did love the Schoolboy in Houndstooth. After lots of trying on I only ended up purchasing the paisley scarf (same print as the pencil skirt) since their scarves were all $10 off. I'm wearing it today since it is chilly and it is so soft and cozy!

    AppGal, love that Polka dot shirt on you. Haven't seen it in my store yet, but I need to find it :) Love the new color of the pencil skirt.

    Stopped in and out of one of my stores yesterday, but didn't stay but a minute due to lack of sale. Maybe there will be one today? I can hope :)

    Beyond the Blue, my b&m received the indigo floral perfect shirt when it first came out. Maybe your b&m never got it. I know mine doesn't carry everything that others do (for example, my JC never got this year's paisley skirt, just the scarf).

    TXgirl14: Thanks! I fell in love with the polka dot top...but then again, I am polka dot obsessed right now so it was not that hard for me :)

    The new color of the No. 2 pencil skirt is so lovely. If I didn't already have the nightfall blue, which is different but too similar to justify owning both, I would have bought it right away yesterday!

    Went there to pick up a vintage cotton tee, left with one in a dusty pink color and the Chambray Tuxedo Tunic that was 39.99 on sale.

    Beyond the blue: I have the impression that when a SA does not know about an item they usually say that the item in question is a catalog/online only.. It bothers me sometimes that they lie so easily, it would be better to say "I don't know but let me find out" instead...

    Pathos,

    I did end up stopping by one of my local stores today to make a return and there were no coats in stock yet. I am bummed anyway because the Perennial Coat, which I am interested in, is apparently an online only item anyway. I hate not being able to try coats on. Oh well! What can you do ;)

    Math Teacher & Momof2- thanks for your comments! I was almost sure I had read that other JCAs had seen it in their B&Ms. I sort of got the impression that it was the SA's standard answer for customers looking for an item with which she was unfamiliar. I agree, I'd much rather have the SA admit that they don't know and look into it!
