If
you are stopping
by a J.Crew store this 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 is carrying an additional percent off sale. Thanks in advance!!! :)
P.S. I noticed that many of you have already been reporting sale items (and in which stores) in other posts which by the way "thank you!" :) I really appreciate how helpful we are for each other!
Those of you that purchased sale items yesterday will be happy to see that their is now an additional 50% off with ‘SALEUPGRADE’! Also, the retailmenot code (dbc256517209194) is still working.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few new items from the next rollout on the site now if you search by item type.
ReplyDeleteCARDLOVE stacks with today’s SALEUPGRADE but apparently you can only use two transactional codes at a time. Get those price adjustment emails ready! I placed a couple of gamble orders yesterday with the hopes of a deeper discount on the horizon, so this morning is like my Olympics. Now to see if/when everything ships!

ReplyDeleteNothing in my last order worked out. I don't want to drive to a store, but I don't want to pay $7.50 to return. I guess I didn't realize they charged for returns, since so many companies don't (I think even Madewell is free returns for Insiders) and since I've always just driven to the store (closest one closed though). I think this is the end for me and J. Crew. Nothing I buy there is worth the drive or the $7.50 to return (I try to only order from companies with a free returns policy). I guess I might go to a store to do this return, ugh.
ReplyDeleteI got an email today about VIP access on new arrivals. Are there new arrivals? It seems like the new arrivals on the web site never match up with the new arrivals emails.
cate - you might want to consider ordering using PayPal. PayPal refunds return shipping costs if you purchased using PayPal. This covers merchant imposed costs or if you ship back yourself and pay postage. There are limits in terms of how many times a year and how much per claim. I've claimed from them before and it's super easy.
DeleteI really need to start doing the paypal thing. Have spent soooo much on mailing back returns last few months...
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteToronto Modern, wow I had no idea about that, thank you! I don't much care about my J. Crew rewards because I don't order enough to accrue any significant amount, so I think PayPal is a great way to go. Do I have to request the reimbursement for return shipping charges or is it automatic?
Deleteshopgrrrl, sorry you got burned with the 30 day time limit. Thanks for telling me about it though.
@shopgrrrl, thank you so much for the 30 day info. I had no idea but am hoping to try PayPal if I need a return, I’ve been paying that way lately in case.
DeleteHi, Ladies
DeleteI am not sure if there are different terms and conditions for US vs Canada from PayPal but the 30 day claim is (at least for Canada), 30 days from the date you ship it back. So I buy something from J Crew on May 1 and I have 60 days (or something like that to return it), and I ship it back June 15, then I have 30 days from June 15 as the PayPal deadline, not 30 days from May 1. At least that's been my experience.
PayPal FAQs will probably cover this if you google "PayPal shipping refund" or terms like that.
Cate - it is not automatic. You do have to ask PayPal for the refund. But I am technologically challenged - I can barely post on JCA as it is - and the process was very easy and I had no problems asking for and getting the refund
It sounds very morbid of me but I've started using PayPal for all my J Crew purchases because they have been closing so many stores. They closed the two stores I used to frequent the most, but I still have a store I can schlep to, but I'm concerned about the possibility of them closing the store suddenly. So I pay with PayPal for all my (many) J Crew orders
...runs to laptop to check dates.....
DeleteSigh….still too late. But thanks, TorontoModern, for clarifying this. I just read the FAQ and didn’t start a claim, so I misunderstood the 30-day limit. Sorry for spreading incorrect info. Had I actually started a claim, I would have seen they provide a calendar going back 30-days from the day you’re submitting the claim, not the date of purchase. Now I feel even worse about the $25 return shipping charge. I was kicking myself for procrastinating, but now I realize I should have just read more carefully!
DeleteCheck your emails! I got a link to new arrivals in one of them.

DeleteThanks Ina! I ordered a few things, and I probably should have waited for a promo. I ordered the Saturday Sneakers in silver suede and the pink shirt with the cactuses on it. The sneakers remind me a little of the Golden Goose ones, visually.
DeleteThe silver Saturday sneakers look very good. Please review once you get them. I cannot afford GG sneaks.
Deleteshopalot, I will report back!
DeleteEmailed for price adjustments this morning - both of my orders from yesterday have shipped already. Purchased the eco denim jacket this morning as well. I think I'm good - traveling next week and will be in NYC so would like to put my shopping dollars towards visiting stores I don't usually get to visit in person.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, my Everlane cheeky straight jeans arrived yesterday. I'm usually a 29 in J.Crew jeans / 28 in some boyfriend and a 29 or 30 in designer denim. I ordered the 29 and 30 in these in sky blue. Unfortunately the color is a little too light blue for me - not as naturally faded as the C/E ones I have from RTR - not quite sure how to describe it - the C/E ones on the whiter side vs the Everlane ones which seem more of a baby blue. The rise is high and the 30s barely zipped. They looked ok aside from the pockets pulling. They were straight but loose through the leg and hit above the ankle. I didn't feel good in them so they are unfortunately going back. They are 98% cotton 2% elastane so if you like less stretch they are a good find. I think I'm just used to stretchy jeans! I am thinking I may just keep the Current Elliott ones even though I'd like them a little higher in the rise, they are a perfect fit.
Hi Anne, sorry the jeans didn’t work out.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteToo bad about the Everlane jeans but thanks for posting the review. I keep shopping for jeans and then reminding myself I have lots of jeans. I’m definitely keeping my eye out for low-stretch straight-leg though.
DeleteSnagged the Harley Fair Isle Sweater this morning. I wanted one of those badly but not for $200. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI held off yesterday but caved today... vintage cotton tanks were $8 ea after promo (good reviews, haven't tried them). A nice silk scarf for $16, and tried some shorts and sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteok, I always showed up here at JCA as "Julie Taylor" but now blogger is showing my julielion ID ...(?)
DeleteUghh. Two orders placed this morning. I have already blown through my self-imposed 10 items each calendar quarter limit for Q2.
ReplyDeleteThere were a few things I was waiting to pull the trigger on and the 50 off sale made me do it. Denim trench and a white cotton linen popover, plus some footwear I def don’t need.
ReplyDeleteLuckily only the Nordic boots are FS but I love mine and know my Boston daughter will get use out of them too.
I stopped myself from looking at anything aside from shirts, jackets, shoes and accessories.
GD shoes get me every time too LOL
Delete@Suz, How is the fit on the Nordic Boots? Do they run true to size for you?
ReplyDeleteI am an 8.5/9 depending on the cut and I got the 9 and they’re perfect. I typically wear them without socks. I’ve been wearing them to softball games for hours at a time and other people wearing uggs and other warm boots have complained about their feet being cold while mine are toasty warm. I also wear them to walk a few blocks to a class and find them very comfortable.
DeleteI'll chime in too - I'm usually a 9/9.5 and have the 9 in these and they were snug the first few wears but they've adjusted to my foot and I really loved them for cold days this year. I got them for a great deal last year and am happy I have them.
DeleteLynn - I usually wear 5.5 or 6. I went with 6 because that's what was available. (Not sure whether they even made them in 5.5.) The 6 have been just fine - maybe because they lace up and also because they are winter boots and I always wear socks. I stockpiled when they were heavily discounted thinking that I'd go through a pair a year or so, but the original pair is wearing well with two years of wear so far (and more on the horizon) so I have not even had to dip into my "inventory".
DeleteI placed 4, yes 4 (sigh), orders yesterday, using only the retailmenot code for 15% off. Snagged a few good popbacks. What are my chances of getting the adjustment today for the sale promo? I did email customer service this morning.
ReplyDelete@jbird - I emailed customer service with my order numbers from yesterday and requested a price adjustment using the SALEUPGRADE code. Like you, I used the retailmenot code yesterday as the prices were pretty good on the popbacks I ordered. However, an extra 50 off will make them practically free!
Delete@shopalot- I agree, the prices were not bad overall, but not as good as the prices around Christmas. Hopefully, CS will take pity on me! I like when things are close to free :-D
DeleteI also placed four orders (hangs head sheepishly) yesterday, and yes, I did get a price adjustment through LiveChat. Hoping things work out, there were some good deals to be had!
DeleteAnyone else have website failure this morning? Crashed on checkout even though Paypal says order went through. Waiting to hear from CS 😑
ReplyDeleteYes, got “505 system error” and refreshed and then I could check out. Site was supremely slow this morning. I hope your situation is resolved.
DeleteSame thing happened to me! There was a pop back of the tall ikat dress in a size down so I went to buy it and the site crashed. I checked my order history and nothing showed up so I ordered again. PayPal charged twice. Called CS and they said the first PayPal change should drop off. Ugh Jcrew!
DeleteI was up at 3 am and when my partner saw my phone light, told him that it was ON. He knows about JCA and our crew insanity, and in return for his unquestioning love, I picked up a pair of Timberlands from $175 for $40.79 for him.
ReplyDeleteFor myself I am thrilled to have gotten the leopard studded flats that disappeared during The Great Liquidation Hoax. With the extra 15%, they were less than I'd ever seen previously.
Also purchased the Harlow ankle strap pumps in plaid with glitter heel, the Stewart plaid block heel pumps, the camel Sadie boots (PLEASE let these ship for $15.29), and the new vintage straight white jean with button fly as I don't think they'll go cheaper anytime before July.
Very happy berry this morning!
@Cheritheberry, I ordered the Ryan penny loafers in silver metallic as I'm a sucker for metallic shoes. I ordered two sizes; I needed the 8 in the gold Academy loafers but never tried the Ryans so I got 8 and 8.5. Those leopard studded flats are so cool. I hope all of our bargains ship. One of the orders I placed yesterday has already shipped, which is like a J Crew miracle to me.
Delete@Shopalot ooooh I was looking at those but didn't know what to do with sizing and abandoned them for the next shiny thing hahaha! Maybe I will revisit them.
DeleteI just said to Suz that all I want is shipping notifications!
Sure is a J. Crew miracle. I'm hoping since we all ordered so early we are all left pleased!
Still debating those shoes...wonder if there are any left...there are 5 in my size, I'd have to decide soon.
DeleteI did order three shoes (shame!) But the light tan Nordic boots for $15 that match my faux-shearling coat? Had to. Eagerly waiting on a shipping notice .And the d'Orsay pumps with berries printed on for $30? Too cute not to try. Plus burgundy/dark pink suede pumps up a 1/2 size at $25, another cross my fingers. My husband said I should take the empty closet and make it a shoe closet!
pbanos - I love my Nordic boots. I have the black ones. Just a cautionary note about the tan ones. I think the tan ones probably benefit from weatherproofing. Please see this blogger's review
Deletehttps://www.carlytheprepster.com/2018/01/winter-boots-love.html
does anyone know if it's 50% off in store?
ReplyDeleteMy sale email said "online only"
DeleteI stopped by my local store today and they were offering 40% off when you spend $200 or more, and 30% off sale. Madewell was also 30% off sale. They also had a cute little gift for Icons.
Delete@Anne, stores will match online promos if you let them know. I’ve never had an issue.
DeleteAll of my orders have shipped too. Placed two more this morning. Snagged velvet bow mules for $18.
I can't find the peony gingham Jackie cardigan. They can't possibly be sold out. The navy one is on sale and a great price with the extra 50% off but I really want the peony color!
ReplyDeleteI think they really are sold out. You could order the blue and then hope for a popback and a price match in pink?
DeleteI did order the navy early this morning but have the black gingham Jackie from last year and wonder if they are too similar. The navy is almost sold out, too!
DeleteI ordered a popback of my favorite jeans yesterday (two sizes smaller-only size they had), and the Sperry Shearwater boots in dark gray last night after the extra 50% showed up. I have these boots in cream, purchased around this time last year, and have loved them. I didn't 'need' them, but reasoned the extra 50% off I'll get on the jeans almost covered them (ha!). They are perfect for popping on on cold, rainy days, and are comfortable to walk in. They net $50 if you are a cardholder.
ReplyDeleteReporting back on one item I ordered last week. The SLEEVELESS OPEN V-NECK TOP X-SMALL / BLACK
ReplyDeleteit is slightly sheer but with a black bralette it will be fine. I like the cut of the arms and don’t find the armholes big at all. The v is somewhat low but even with a higher sports bra I’m wearing now, it isn’t too noticeable, so a lower cut one will work well.
It’s easy on and go and hopefully it will stay cool over the summer since the material is lightweight. I have a similar (but blousier) silk one from Madewell that I actually find very hot in the summer.
I almost ordered that top and then stopped myself. It looked shapely, is it tapered? I'd be a small if you are XS.
DeleteI can post a pic.
DeleteI'd appreciate!
DeleteI only took a quick pic so I DMd you on IG
DeleteI should add, I think it looks better IRL and I think a front tuck works really well with this. I didn’t steam it or anything yet.
DeleteLots of new items up on the site already. L6742 had me giggling! I had a top like this when I was 10 years old. Don't get me wrong, I love J Crew and Liberty prints but definitely not getting this top!
ReplyDeleteL6715 is pretty. Hopefully more new arrivals will appear on Tuesday.
DeleteI like the smocked top! I think care would have to be taken to style it - but I am thinking about getting it.
DeleteI go back and forth on that liberty smocked top. I think it could be retro cool or a total childish disaster. I'd like to try it on if it's in the stores.
DeleteIt's a cute top! I'm just too old for it!
DeleteThe top will be a disaster on me. I do not need to try it on - short torso and substantial boobs do not combine well with a ruffle on the top and a ruffle on the bottom. Smocking adds some volume too.
DeleteAnyone with any volume up top needs to stay far, far away from this top.
DeleteWow. That’s definitely not going to sell.
DeleteI may be in the minority, but I'm pretty busty and I'm actually excited. I worry that it will be way too short, but other than that it could be great. Things tend to either fit me in the chest and then just hang like a sack, or fit me in the waist and then I'm busting out of the top. I feel like the stretchy smocking will be fitted through my midsection but allow for my larger chest in a flattering best-of-both-worlds. And the straps seem wide enough to wear a real bra. I guess I'll have to order and see if it's as disastrous as everyone else predicts!
DeleteYes I think as long as it's not cropped and as long as worn with the right pants or skirt I might like it. If they had it in solid colors that might make it more appealing to some too but the liberty prints are nice.
DeleteThat was exactly a style I had in the late 1970's when I was a skinny high schooler. I had a tiny print dress and a tiny print top with the elastic smocking. I think the dress is still at my parent house, it would be 40 years old now. Anyway, I was able to wear them without a bra when I was a kid.
DeleteI had a few of dresses in this style as a kid in the 70s, they were pretty standard stuff. Easy to fit, comfy to wear, and infinitely entertaining to pull the smocking up, down, back and forth!
DeleteL6742 Looks like it should be from Justice not J.Crew
DeleteI liked the top too, almost ordered it, but it's not going to look good on me.
Deletejust placed another order :P, a Ludlow blazer and sunglasses for my husband. The ludlow is a really nice cut and hardly ever is eligible for promo. They have a wool one on sale at $199 and it said "not eligible for promo", but when I put it in my cart it took the 50% off. woot!
ReplyDeleteThe stretch bracelet I ordered yesterday morning shipped! JCAs, please post when your orders from today start shipping. *fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteSome of my Thursday am orders shipped: The Ruffle-sleeve crewneck in striped everyday cashmere along with two tank tops (gym) , polka dot tights (next winter) and a navy skinny Italian leather belt. These were all over 70% off before the retailmenot code and the 50% adjustment.
DeleteAlso a suede belt for the Mr. shipped and the striped bead drop earrings. I have those same earrings in gold, red, white and now blue/white. These were the lowest price at $1.49 after adjustments. I may have paid triple that for the white ones and at least double for the gold! They are fun costume earrings that don't weigh too much.
I already received a sweater and pants I ordered for the Mr. on the 9th, plus the peony gingham sheath dress. My husband saw it in the store and wanted me to try it. I ordered a 4 and 6 and didn't even try the 6 as the 4 fit. I also ordered the sleeveless pleated A-line dress in peony. I'll decide which one I'm keeping when it arrives.
Oh, the replacements for my red vie ballet heel in patent leather shipped while I was writing. This was a price-match to replace a pair I bought a year ago (for $18) that were shipped with two different size shoes. CS made me a label and I sent the mismatched pair back today.
DeleteFantastic! I love hearing how your husband helps, it’s so sweet.
DeleteI can’t believe you were able to get the shoes after all this time! Truly incredible.
The Evie pumps already arrived! I actually prefer a less rounded toe, but I adore red patent leather. These are a great summer shoe with so many different outfits. It is cute that my husband enjoys my wardrobe more than I do. He checks out pictures of the First Lady to see what she is wearing.
DeleteYay pbanos, so fast!!
DeleteThe $15 Sadie boots I ordered were cancelled.
Both orders from yesterday have shipped already. No word from CS re: price adjustment.
ReplyDeleteI called at 7:00:01 for the price adjustments. CS was polite but had a terrible time working out the right adjustments. Still, we got it done.
DeleteIt was the second time CS said the retailmenot code should not work, that it was a one-use code. (Used about 1000 times so far!) She suggested I should not use it. I suggested she could mention it to IT or marketing. I am surprised it has lasted this long!
ReplyDeletehttps://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/j-crew-reviewing-strategic-alternatives-possible-ipo-of-madewell-11555015099
Thanks for sharing. I find the contrast between the brands quite interesting but I don't get it. Even with all of J. Crew's problems I still prefer it to Madewell and think Madewell's recent styles have not been great. Apparently I'm in the minority though
DeleteI hope this doesn't get as bad/good as the January FLASH promo where I lost all control. Could not resist checking website this morning to "just take a peek". Bought Liberty Pavillion midi skirt. (Don't think it was reduced before but maybe I missed it with the thousands of items to wade through.) Poppy two-strap ballet flats in two colors. I am embarrassed by the fact that one of these flats is a duplicate. But the shoe is so darn cute and comfortable!
ReplyDeleteha, yes I lost all control in the January sales too. Been trying to get on an even keel with JC ever since. I've been getting such crazy good prices the last few weeks with all the stacking promos, def been guilty of some stockpiling.
DeleteThe Reddit frugal male fashion crowd continues to provide more fun. Here's something that JCAs who purchase for themselves and others in their lives may find amusing.
ReplyDeleteHere's one exchange:
For those of you with kids, check out the toys, etc. in the boys and girls sale sections. Super random stuff but pretty cool at the same time (temporary tattoos, stickers, etc.). Also some great prices on kids shoes (just got some Native shoes for my son for $11).
Reply
Just realizing I might be the only one with kids at 1am on FMF.
Reply
Nope.
Reply
... Honestly, it’s worth it to have a family just to have more people to shop for during J Crew sales.
Welp, placed another order this morning. The stone and black stiletto heel boots and the velvet bow mary jane flats for $60 total. I couldn't say no to that. The boots are a 9, I'm usually a 9.5 so that will be a gamble but I can always use a back up pair of black boots for that price!
ReplyDeleteanyone have the link to preview of new arrivals to share?
ReplyDeletehttps://www.jcrew.com/c/womens_feature/earlyaccess
DeleteDoes this work for you?
yes. thank you very much...
DeleteSurprised to see a popback of the Eyelet Top with tassel trim G5845 from 2017. I highly recommend this top, especially if you like yellow (the only colour that’s popped back).
ReplyDeleteI haven’t placed any orders with this sale — the few items I was interested in on Thursday sold out in my sizes before I could snag them on Friday. Canadian sale section is back down to 1146 after Thursday’s high of over 4000.
I spy on the new arrival-the (yellow) lemon skirt--the model is wearing shoes from Loeffler Randall. It looks like LR, unless they copied the design. I wonder if they'll sell a couple from LR's collection on this next roll-out?
ReplyDeleteI think they copied the design. The product description on JC's web site didn't say they're LR.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteA couple of the popback items I ordered on Thursday and price-adjusted Friday arrived. They had US/UK size tags which I have never seen before. Happy to say they are all in good condition.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with the less than $30 Ruffle-sleeve crewneck in striped everyday cashmere H3788. I already had the grey and cream version, now I've added the navy and camel. I've been down on J Crew cashmere, but now have had to revise my opinion as I've added 4 very nice pieces ranging from $28 to $40. The ruffle sleeve, the Mockneck Fair Isle cashmere sweater K3161, and Lace-up sweater in everyday cashmere J0964 in navy and natural. I'll have many years of cashmere luxury.
The only dud was Tie-neck short-sleeve sweater in everyday cashmere J1319 which was thin and crazy undersized. I ordered up a size to M but even that was tight and short.
I stopped by my local factory for a return. I had ordered the bright cerise pleated midi but the quality just isn’t there so it was a return. As I walked in there was quite a few pieces that are not online - a polka dot midi, leopard print midi, and red floral dress (and others I can’t remember now). I also tried on the gingham dress and cape scarf and both were a hard pass. The gingham dress felt like a nightgown to me and the cape scarf doesn’t Lay right.
ReplyDeleteI’m a big fan of Maddies and would like to hear from anyone who can compare fit/sizing of Maddies with Camerons and Edies. Based on reviews I’m fairly certain I need to go up one size in the Camerons, but I’m not sure whether the Edies are TTS or if I need to go up one size in them as well?
ReplyDeleteHi, shopgrrrl
DeleteI wear P0 maddies (in both the wool and cotton versions) and P2 in the camerons when I can find a cameron that fits. (P2 maddies are always too big and P0 camerons are always too smal on me.) I'm pretty straight through the middle and I find that some of the camerons in P2 did not work for me at all in terms of looking good/fitting properly. Maybe it's my imagination, but the fit seemed to vary a lot across the various cameron iterations so while I would buy maddies on final sale, I can't take the chance on camerons.
Sorry but no personal experience on the Edies. But now you have me intrigued :-)
Thanks! I was planning to buy today but then realized the Camerons and Edies are the daily deal and don’t qualify for the extra 50% off. I’ll wait on these for now. Looking forward to bringing out my cropped Maddies in another week or so when things warm up enough for bare ankles.
DeleteIt’s actually a good price for them and they eligible for the for the 15 off... makes them 42.50... I bought in store this week with 40 off plus 15, they were 45...
DeleteI love them.... I have several pairs....
Thanks, Kate! I agree the price is reasonable, but I’m not desperate for pants so can probably wait. Which style do you have and do you find them TTS?
DeleteThis is the best price I’ve ever seen on Camerons. I bought a gray pair this morning. I wear a 0 in wool (black, gray, winter white) Maddies but have found some that were too big on me (camel). Even the gray ran larger but they do fit. I wear a 0 in the four season Camerons also. HTH!
DeleteI have sz 2 in four season stretch and size 0 in bi-stretch. I find them TTS. I would think. O tried it in store took both 4 and 2... did not try 4 as 2 fit perfectly In grey ....I would take 2 in marties... if that helps...
DeleteAnybody tried the Peyton pants?
DeleteThe Peytons fit just like the Cameron's for me.
DeleteThanks Ina... I may try them

ReplyDeleteReceived three "news about your jcrew order" email this morning for items I ordered on thursday.
ReplyDeleteEverlane has a special on the wide leg crops today for $50. Usually they are $68.
ReplyDeleteI followed the size chart and taking into consideration they do stretch a little took my smaller size 00. I find them very flattering.
If you buy through my invitation I get a discount on my next order. I’ve posted pics of some of my faves on IG @wearthislikethis
https://www.everlane.com/r/suzannehassler
The Everlane linen picnic tank looks to be well made tailored simple classic pieces. Reminds me when J crew used to make nice quality pieces like that in basic colors and a unique print that would be their signature print for the seasonal collection.
DeleteOT, does anyone have issues posting from safari? I needed to go to Chrome to be able to post.
ReplyDeleteme too, Suz. I used to be able to post when I was using Safari, but it stopped working for me a couple months ago.. Now I have to go to Firefox to post on JCA.
DeleteHas anyone found JCrew retail items in their factory store recently?
ReplyDelete
