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!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGood reading for a Monday: article over at YouLookFab from 9/13 listing the womens’ retailers and brands that Angie has found to have the most consistent quality over time for her clients. Lots of interesting comments, too. Her definition of quality is not just initial out of the box, do the seams look straight, but rather, how well does the garment fabric and construction last and look good through multiple wears and laundering cycles. No surprise Boden makes the list, so does Madewell! J Crew does not, though Angie specifically notes something that JCAs all know - J Crew coats and jackets from 10 years ago were almost-couture quality and still look beautiful.
Very interesting article. Thanks for posting it.
Deletewhen I search website by the word 'preorder' I can see new pull-on easy pant in printed silk twill, J5689. The pants are only in petite sizing but the print is so lovely.I'm wondering what else is coming in that print. Perhaps a blouse or a dress or a tank top?
ReplyDeleteThere’s a button down top posted on kristymayn’s IG, and I saw a wrap jacket, similar to the island floral one from spring, @ Nordstrom. I ordered the pants last night when 30% was still stacking.
DeleteIt comes in a button down. I bought it but returned over the weekend because I did not like the fit. The print is beautiful and I’m really glad they made other items with it.
DeleteIt also comes in leather goods - the medium pouch and card case. It’s a lovely print.
DeleteNo store visit for me, but I did place an order last week for a few skirts (color block, red double pleat and leopard pencil) as well as the navy polka dot top and the olive tie waist pants.
ReplyDeleteAs noted in another post, looks like the Skimm extra 20% is expired but I did see cardperks is stacking with the suiting 25% off for an extra 15% off if you use your Crew card. At this point I'm looking forward to next week's rollout, the lack of interesting stock in the sale section has tempered my daily checking.
roll out next week? for sure?
DeleteI will be curious to hear about the olive tie waist pants since I have my eye on them. I just wish they came in a tall size.
Deletepbanos, I tried them on a few weeks ago at the store - you can see them on my blog here
DeleteLength was ok, could be a smidge longer, I'll have to see if there's hem to take down. Deciding if I'll wear them enough this fall but thinking with tights/booties it'll make up for the length. HTH.
Previews came in from VPS much of the same already on website. Little girl velvet which I haven’t worn since I was 9 yo. Best looking model in the previews is Lauren Hutton up on the top page all in Khaki. Demylee very bohemian
ReplyDeleteI love Lauren Hutton, thanks Lynn!
Deleteis anyone else having problems with sizing in bottoms with this last roll out? i can barely button or zip up the four season stretch glen plaid cameron pant or the cropped corduroys I ordered. sadly both are going back
ReplyDeleteI've had issues all over the board.
DeleteA sweater listed as TTS ran big and I sized down.
A top listed as running small was TTS for me.
A dress listed as TTS ran small for me.
