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!
I hope to visit to 1. return the Leopard faux fur coat AD133. Even though I found a great price (85) that does not make the sleeves long enough even in one size up (M). If the fit was perfect I'd have had a harder decision.
ReplyDelete2. Oogle new items. I want to get a look at the brown/gold striped Tippi.
I received an order from the last big promotion that included the tissue tneck in black/ivory floral AC646 and Pointelle cotton cropped sweater AB863 in dark moss. The sweater is a golden brown color, perfect for Fall and I love the way it feels. It's definitely oversized, as the small is very roomy on me. The arms are quite wide, and it is cropped. So not for everyone, but I like it with high waisted pants and will be keeping. The tissue t run a bit smaller than other tissue t's I have, so I've called and ordered a M as well. It is a beautiful pattern, so I'm glad I was able to size up. I treat these tops like lingerie as they are delicate.
i ordered the collection "silk" tie neck blouse. silk is in quotes because its not silk and its h and m level quality. not to mention cropped. not j crew factory quality much less collection!
ReplyDeleteOh wow I had that in my cart. Removing it now.
DeleteIs it really not silk?
DeleteIt says silk charmeuse, which is usually a top level silk. It's a satin weave - meaning more warp threads than weft so the front is shiny and the back is dull.
DeleteBut if swp said it’s not silk, I was curious what is it actually. Do you have the top PBanos?
DeleteNope, but I'd be surprised that J Crew would sell a silk Collection top that was not made out of silk. Maybe the different weave of the charmeuse threw Swp off?
DeleteA couple of years ago J.Crew listed a 45% wool/55% poly blend on the website as "wool," so who knows . . .
DeleteI returned a pleather belt that was listed as "skinny leather belt". I was not amused.
DeleteVisited my shop (Copley in Boston) this week to check out the new wool pencil skirts but they didn't have them :( Intrigued by the new honey color - has any one seen it IRL? Was hoping for orange. Also, how's the quality? My double serge wool skirts from the 2011-2013 era still look brand new. I'm thinking to get them lengthened - has anyone every tried that?
ReplyDeleteWhat's going on with the sizing for tops? With going to alpha sizing rather than numerical and rarely having petites/tall, the number of available sizes is drastically reduced.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a cost cutting measure. They can make fewer per style.
