If you are stopping by a J.Crew store this weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the SPRING sale, or to see some new SUMMER 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 is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)
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!
A draught of sales--would love to purchase a few linen or summer cashmere sweaters but not without a discount.
ReplyDeleteLikely not, but looking forward to what others find.
ReplyDeleteSome crewlet reviews here.
I want to do a little happy dance. I just scored the Library Blazer on popback. I couldn't believe it. My size has been sold out for forever.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love popbacks? I got the Souvenir dress in Chili Red this morning...can't wait until it gets here!
DeleteAnd I got the long gone paisley pencil skirt in dark pumpkin! Holding my breath until I get a shipping confirmation though.
DeleteThey must have done some spring cleaning in the warehouse or something :-)
Yep, I definitely saw a lot of odds and ends this morning -- I grabbed a Heather Acorn Tippi for $49. Still made at paying for shipping but I bought it anyway. :P
DeleteWhat is a popback? Is there a certain day they happen? Sorry it's my first time hearing about it!
DeleteCheck under the Reference sidebar on this page. You'll find a really helpful list of all the terms that may seem puzzling right now. And good luck looking for your first popback!
DeleteI actually went yesterday. The b&m at Polaris in Columbus, Ohio had a decent sale section for once. My big find was a rack full of the trouser jeans in classic rinse wash, which is supposedly online/catalog only. They fit tts and made my butt look great (sorry if that's TMI). The best part is that they were marked at $54.99, but rang up at $29.99 (they're on sale for $88 online). I highly recommend.
ReplyDeleteonly to return... i bought the villa dress (size small... i usually wear size 4 dresses) and, although it fits, it's just blah on me... i think it's mostly the warm henna with my skin/hair coloring... and i need to exchange the sardinia wedges... i bought an 8 and they're huge! hoping a 7 fits since there's no half sizes.
ReplyDeleteI tried that dress and found it blah too.
DeleteI found it in store today in the green color and found it la bit boring as well. I think the casual knit fabric is the problem. I would only consider buying it for less than $50 not FP. I took a small too and I'm a 4/6 in most things. The best feature was the scooped back with brass buttons down the back.
DeleteThere was an extra 40% off of clearance at the factory store yesterday in Mebane, NC.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone tried the sailor shorts or the chambray skirt?
ReplyDelete@simplydreaming: I tried the Sailor shorts. The length was weird and the leg openings at the bottom were oddly wide.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I had a feeling they were cut strange
DeleteHeading there this weekend to do a return. I will definitely be scoping the sale section!
ReplyDeleteWhen I stopped in at the Oakbrook IL store to return the garden shade floral pencil skirt, I discovered that the Tillary canvas tote has been marked down to 119.99. There was 1 display model left.
ReplyDeleteSame thing in Towson. I was about to leave when I saw it tucked into a high corner shelf. I had been waiting for a percentage off the sale section promo but happily bought it in-store at that price.
DeleteThanks for the heads up about the trouser jeans, Lauren. What a great price! I picked up a pair this evening along with the French Dove tee ($19.99), both colors of the leopard print tank ($19.99) & the cotton waffle pullover ($19.99). Cannot believe how fast the merchandise is being marked down. The sale section was packed!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone purchased the lia sandal? It's on sale in two colors. I'm wondering what the Mediterrranean orange shade looks like IRL and fit. Also wondering same for factory short sleeve polka dot dress.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to check out the merriweather jacket if you pop into a store this weekend. I review it here, and think it is a winner....
ReplyDeleteOn an off note, still searching like a madwoman for the J Crew pinwheel necklace. If you happen to see it in the stores.... email me at aussie319@gmail.com!!
Thanks!
Has the polka dot Elinor dress been marked down in-store yet?
ReplyDeleteWent to my B&M last night, there were some new items in sale, the tank in what looks like to me giraffe print in both the blue and tan color way is on sale for $19.99, less in the store then online and the pencil skirt in abstract leopard was on sale, few other things but nothing caught my eye except for the spindrift sweatshirt in stripe, that was $39.99 in store less again then online. I have to say I really loved how that fit!! I sized up to a small for more room.
ReplyDeleteOne thing to note and sorry this is a long post, be aware of the new minnie pants that are arriving in store now. They are poor quality as opposed to the previous shipment. Strange same fabric content but thinner and the stitching is very poor, not clean at all. I found this at least with the navy which is what I was purchasing. The store director noticed it as well and he admitted they were cutting corners!!! Just try on a few before you buy.
Oh, that really sucks about the Minnie pants. I have all of the colors except this year's navy and violet, and I was thinking of getting the navy. Why can't J.Crew cut corners by, I dunno, not producing quite so many tee shirts that look exactly the same and will just end up in the sale section 10 days after they roll out?
DeleteOff topic - I just noticed Ann Taylor now has a review feature on their site. Hint, hint, J. Crew!
ReplyDeleteStopped by yesterday and got the Viv Bow Flats in Topiary and the Valentinas in Wild Mushroom for ~$100 each (after my student discount) - so excited!
ReplyDeleteCaitlin, what store did you get them in? I've been desperately searching for the Viv Bow Flats. If you have any info, I'd appreciate it! Thanks! :)
DeleteIf anyone happens across a colorblocked stripe boatneck tee size M in the Navy-Kiwi colorway could you please, please, please put it on hold for Stacy and email me at sallen07@gmail.com? I am late to the party on this item, but I would love to have it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHellow JCA!
ReplyDeleteDid a review on the sale section, particularly the skirts with fitting room pictures at www.aprettythought.com
Hope they are helpful!

Stopped by the Providence Place today (RI) on the way home from the airport. (first time) Their shoe section is pretty decent. Scored a pair of Mona suede pumps in wild berry for $99.99. Still full price online ($198). Insane, but I was so happy. Warning, the pumps run small. Size up half a size.
ReplyDeleteStopped by yesterday. Same old stuff in the sale section that's been there for at least the past 3 weeks. The only differences were a few more jewelry pieces and some rain jelly flats and rain boots.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking for the Spring Fling Dress that's sold out online. Has anyone seen it in-store? I debated the price too long and now it's gone! :( I'm hoping for a popback or that I can find one someone returned.
ReplyDeleteI posted review of new (yet) unreleased Collection striped blazer and couple other items on my blog HERE
ReplyDeleteTotal long shot but has anyone tried on the cashmere boyfriend sweater and can comment on sizing and weight? Thank you!
