posts), where we can share our finds from other
retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew

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.
Some Gap reviews here.
ReplyDeleteLOFT Petite Herringbone Linen Collarless Jacket in True Cobalt: Hyperlink is to the petite size, but comes in petite, regular, and tall sizing.
ReplyDeleteA great substitute for the fall 2012 schoolboy in similar blue coloring in case you missed it or didn't want to shell out the $$. I found the jacket to have a slim-fit, more like the model wearing the white and orange versions than the one wearing the blue. There are pretty pleat details on the back which were unexpected, but lends a modern touch to the cut. Best thing though - 100% linen! (Yes, I know, natural fabrics at the LOFT, make sure your floor is padded before you faint!)
For sizing reference, I got the 00P which is what I normally take at the store for numeric sizes (though I do fluctuate between a PXXS and PXS for tops). There is sufficient room to wear a long-sleeve shirt beneath without it feeling snug, but I did only have on thin t-shirt material.
Regularly $90, but if you want it, I recommend waiting for a sale as I tried for sizing purposes in-store but bought at half-off during a recent online only deal.
I bought Rivington trousers and linen tees from Madewell Photos on my blog.

I just won a $250 gift card from Talbots. So excited. Starting a list but waiting for the big sales to get the most for my money. Good timing as spring and summer clothes are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHow fantastic Genny! Totally jealous of you--they have some lovely things out for spring right now! Hope you have fun spending it!
DeleteThat's awesome!
DeleteGarnet Hill has 20% off full price merchandise right now (I used code M34BV3Y2, found by googling "Garnet Hill promo", and I do not see it advertised on their web site). There are a few exclusions (HANKY PANKY, HANRO, PATAGONIA, WACOAL, COMPANY C, DASH AND ALBERT, AND SIMON PEARCE, but not Eileen Fisher. I can't tell how long the code will be good for. They have some cute summer dresses!
