Weekly Share: Other JCrew-like Retailers

This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent" posts), where we can share our finds from other retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew (like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann 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.

  1. Not sure if these have been posted about yet, but the Talbots Rosie Espadrille is very similar to J.Crew's Marina Mini-Wedge Espadrille. Unlike J.Crew, Talbots offers the shoe in navy (I find it strangely difficult to find a nice, dark navy sandal!).

    Right now it's pretty easy to snag these at 40% the full price ($99). If they don't have your size online, the customer chat can help you track them down in-store. I usually wear an 8, but sized down to a 7.5 in these.

  2. I've shared numerous J.Crew-like items in this post on my blog. Included this week are alternatives to the lace-sleeve top, stripe linen tunic, tortoise and crystal pendant necklace, and twill utility vest, just to name a few.

    3. No problem! I love that top, but even at half price it wouldn't make sense to me, as it's. OT something I could wear that often. When I came across the holland top, I couldn't believe my eyes and jumped on it. I'm really happy with it. Especially at that price.

  4. Lands End: 30% off your entire order plus free shipping on $50+ until 6.23.14. More details along with my picks in this post. Lands End has really been offering much cuter clothing over the past couple of years, and there are a lot of items to love there right now. I own several LE dresses, cashmere sweaters, and a couple of swim suits, too. Everything has held up really well so far. They are definitely worth giving a look. :)
