  1. Well' whatever I had in my cart yesterday is more expensive today. Oh well.

    1. :-0 AKA the 'Recently Increased' trend! Don't worry, there will be huge selloffs later on (especially pants, no one is wearing pants at home).

    2. Came here to say the same. I can't understand the fluctuating sale prices.

    3. It’s stupid. Just when I think, I’ll give them another chance they pull nonsense. We are smarter than that. Stop with the games.

      Meanwhile, someone please tell me why I don’t need Everlane day flats or 40 hour flats. And what color I shouldn’t get.

    4. Do not buy the 40 hour tulip red flats. You will look great never wearing them.

    5. 😂 I think tulip may be too pink for me.

    6. Nothing is too pink for me. None of the other colors are gaudy enough. Phooey to sensibly colored shoes!

    7. I was thinking a pinky nude might be nice, or white in the day flat. Most of my flats are not comfortable for walking around, oddly enough.

    8. Suz, I think I'm going to buy the taupe 40 hour flats! I wish the tulip was more red but it looks too pink for me, too. I have white Madewell mules that I rarely wear, so although I like the white, I have to pass. -lep33shops

    9. Lauren report back! I’m not sure which I’ll try!

    10. I like the taupe! Lauren, definitely interested to hear what you think. I might get some tees.

      I will say some of the jeans are decently priced at Crew today but...it's at least a month before I'm wearing them.

    11. Anne, I ordered a bunch of tees from Everlane. I already got white from MADEWELL so I just got black and the black and white striped sleeveless Mockneck. I won’t need all that I ordered but it’s so hard to tell specific shape, texture and feel of the cotton online. I wish they would put a closeup or the texture of each. I enlarge on my screen but it’s still hard to capture.

      I also like the taupe but that is usually tricky with my skin tone, I think the dusty lilac may read as nude on me.

      Delete
    12. Ugh I can’t decide. I have black, white/cream, rose and the dusty lilac in the day glove and 40 hour flat in my cart. Black is a no brainer, but I’m thinking a nude flat would be great for spring and summer. Helpppppp

  3. Un-venting, to keep a good J Crew perspective. I'm dressed to WFH 100% Crew today - Leopard sweatshirt sweater (usual S), black perfect turtleneck (size up to M), black trouser flare jeans (sized down 2 to 25), Seavees x Crew black velvet sneakers, tortise heart shaped hoops, leopard microfiber bra (sized up to 34D) and panties (sized up to M). This is the first day I wore sneakers indoors, and it makes me feel better than fluffy slippers. But I'll only wear shoes indoors if they are super clean never saw rain or dirt. Since I go from my garage at home to the parking deck at work I have a fair number of shoes that fit that description. I have yet to wear a dress or skirt, maybe I'll get to that tomorrow.

  4. I’ve been trying to log in to my account for the last several hours and it won’t recognize my password. I’ve changed it, chatted with CS, no help. Gave up and ordered as guest, hope I can call tomorrow & get credit to my rewards. I ordered the seaside linen shorts in olive, the pink gingham jeans & hi rise white toothpick jeans. The prices were really good. I had ordered the pink gingham jeans at $69 2 weeks ago & still haven’t received today they were $50. Now I have to return the first pair if they ever show up

    1. this happened to me and it took their IT team a few hours to fix it. they told me a second account under my user name was created and they tried to merge them or something. but, then shortly after that whole fiasco, i got an email about a security breach from like a year ago.

    2. I’ve worked with CS & IT several times today and they still can’t figure out my problem with signing in. They keep sending me temporary passwords and say everything is fixed but I still can’t sign in. Hoping someone can figure out soon

    1. seems to be. Wondering if they took it away because some of the daily deals this week are 50-60% off prices. bummer though! I wish they'd do a flat % all the time similar to Gap/BR.

      Delete
    2. Agreed. I noticed a few days ago. Everything is more $$$ now.

    3. I think it was just for Cardmember month (March).
