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 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 was/ is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)

    The Vancouver store received more sale items last week (a lot of white linen jackets, among others), and will receive more sale stock on Tuesday. They still had the 50% off sale items today. Got the Origami dress in decadent red.

    Some reviews here.

    I went yesterday and the sale section was pretty cleaned out. I wound up purchasing a braided headband for $3 and a white beaded necklace (item 95301) for $12.

    They also had a rope bracelet with pretty disco ball rhinestones for $20 something dollars (not on sale, new arrival? store exclusive?) that I don't see online.

      SewPetiteGal, I saw those at my store too! They came in mint, purple, pink, and blue colors! Love them, but I'm waiting until they hit sale!

    I didn't go this weekend (since I had just stopped in last Thursday), but I do know they were still running the 40% off. The manager said it is very likely the extra % off will continue until this Wednesday, when the new arrivals come in, and they ship all the old sale stuff back to the warehouse.

    My store will be putting the new arrivals out on the floor Wednesday, and then having a special shopping event on Thursday for the new rollout. I hope to make it back in later this week to check it all out in person.

    I perused the factory store. The dorset purse is really cute, but kind of small. The yellow color is lovely and if I didn't already have the yellow Jamie bag from a few years back, I'd probably get it. The leather isn't super nice but it also isn't as cheap looking as some of the factory leather I've seen.

    the filigree-embroidered strapless beach dress is marked down to $79.99 in stores, plus they still had an extra 40% off going on as of yesterday.

    the indianapolis store had the filigree dress in sizes 4, 6 & 8.

    Does anyone know what the in store price is for the casablanca blue cafe capris? My local B&M is sold out of this color so I ordered a pair online. If I take the capris to the store with the invoice, will they match the in store sale price?

    Shopalot, If I am not mistaken, the cafe capris in casablanca blue are 29.99 in store. I bought a pair recently for 29.99 less 30% sale in store. As for a price adjustment, it depends upon your SA. Some are kind enough to do it....others, not so much. I would certainly give it a try. It is definitely worth the savings. HTH.

    Thanks, Bonnie! I am going to give it a try. If the SA says no, I'll just return them. I have the blue straight leg khakis from the Gap; they're almost the same color. Don't really need TWO pairs of bright blue pants but for $29.99 & 40% off, it's worth it to at least ask.

      shopalot - If the 40% is no longer in effect when you take the pants & invoice in, they probably will not match the % off. They may adjust to the $29.99, though. Good luck :)

      I think my order is due to arrive today -- if the 40% is still on at stores tomorrow, I'm in luck. Of course I do not need the capris to begin with. They were a ride along to get the free shipping!!

    I stopped by one b&m, but nothing new sale wise. Wondering when the anchors aweigh cardi is going to go on sale in store?

    Despite how I feel about online only items, I may cave and order a few FP suiting items.

    OT: I am going to the new store opening at Harbor East in Baltimore on Wednesday. The email I received mentioned a free gift with purchase. From JCA's past experience, what do they give?

      When the Vancouver store opened, the gift with purchase was a Timex watch. Can't recall what they gave away in Toronto. Enjoy the opening!

    I really want the Flower Lattice necklace..UGH! I know it's not a new release...so any chance it will go on sale when they roll out they pull out the New Arrivals!

    My store is honoring the online prices if you ask nicely (thinking of the anchor cardi and the stripe popovers)... Worth a shot, especially while 40% is going on! Seems like everything will get marked down this week after the new rollout arrives.

      Thanks for the heads up! Does the item still have to be in stock online?

      Delete
    2. misskittyJuly 24, 2012 at 11:47 AM

      If it's not, they can call direct to verify. I know the anchor cardi vanished from the sale section online (was priced at $59.99), but the woman from direct could still verify the sale price! HTH. :)

    Has anyone been to the Tysons store since Friday?

    Is it worth checking out before the 40% off is over?

    Thanks!

    I broke my resolve and picked up 4 items: the burgundy pencil skirt, the Ella in Garden Floral $24, the Cecilia high heel sandals for $36 and the Mona printed pumps.

    While scoping out the sale section, I spotted some Edie wallets. The red was definitely $69.99. I also saw black and calf hair but didn't check the prices.

    Of the fall arrivals, I liked the Telegram suede hobo in Byzantine Blue. It is quite bright, and I am concerned about color transfer, but it looked as though it could easily accomodate lots of stuff without looking bulky. I also tried and liked the snakeskin Tippi. The "Jade" color name is apt. It is more green/teal IRL than the online photo. A word of warning on the Collection snakeskin blouse: the sleeves are sheer!

    I did a quick return today to the Pleasanton store and oddly, they had five Raj Paisley pencil skirts in size 12. No other size. They also had a eyelet skirt in red in size 12.
