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 SALE, or to see some NEW 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!!! :)

  1. went to 2 local BM's. I purchased zero. The prices in my mind are still way to high for the cheaper fabrics and quality they are putting out. Boo...I miss the higher # of sale items and am waiting it out...all this stuff will be marked down.
    My guage on this one is
    - I bought the crepe tunic at FP plus 25 % off promo. and the merino tunic at the same time. I have not worn either and I now could have gotten them for about $30 less for each . I have not worn either and the 60 day return just expired. I should have waited....

  3. I went. The SAs were talking about stacking the 25 percent promo on top of the sale promo (I think it was 30 percent?). But, nothing in sale caught my eye.

    I picked up the garnet flame plaid shirt (love!), textured strip sweater in navy and the gem stack necklace (super love!). Some new arrivals were already in. I saw the llama sweater. If it was reindeer, and if I went shopping after drinking a bottle of wine, I would buy that, but alas, I shop sober and they really are llamas on there, so....

    The SAs said the new holiday arrival blowout will be in stores on Nov. 18.

    Unknown - You should still try to make the return. I'm not a serial returner by any means, but if my return is over the deadline, they always take it. The SAs don't even say anything. In fact, I mentioned one time that I was worried I bought a perfect shirt too big but I didn't return it because it was over the 30 days, and the SA told me to bring it in anytime to return because I'm such a good customer. I brought it in the following month, no probs. I had the tags and receipt, natch.

    So excited to see new arrivals!! My store was packed with new merchandise and everything looked so cute. There wasn't too much going on in the sale!

  5. I stopped by both retail and Factory to return. Nothing caught my eye at retail. I bought a navy lace front tee and a gray knit beanie at Factory. Both stores looked good and were busy, but the Factory outlet mall was a madhouse. If any regular mall store is wondering where all the shoppers are, they are at the outlet mall, apparently!

  6. I ordered the cashmere cardigan in neon sorbet and had in monogrammed in chartreuse. Now I'm having second thoughts about this color/ color combination. Has anyone seen this color irl? Did I make a huge mistake? Someone reassure me!

  10. Went this weekend and the store was offering 30% off sale items, as well as the 25% the website offers.

    Some reviews here.

  11. Hey all,

    Can I ask - do the watches on the J Crew website ever go on sale? At $500, a 25% discount would be substantial - just want to know so I don't wait for a sale that never comes!

    Thanks in advance :)

    1. Yes - they all do. I have several versions of JC watches, and everyone was bought on promos of anywhere from 25 to 40% off, and sometimes that amount off a reduced price.

    2. Thanks Suzy,

      Was keen on a Mougin & Piquard watch but wanted to check if it ever went on sale. I'll patiently wait until it does :)

    3. Two of the M&P watches were on promos (a reduced price) and then also 30% off - I picked up one of them. But there is another one that I really like, but also am waiting. Your welcome!
