"Looking to LOVE" with J.Crew

This is the weekly "Looking to LOVE with J.Crew" post, a place to share our favorite experiences with J.Crew.

If you have recently experienced a positive situation with 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 stellar experiences with purchases & orders, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.

J.Crew Richmond Warehouse Sale

A big "thanks!" to S who shared the following news with us: J.Crew is having a Warehouse Sale in Richmond, VA from January 6th (8AM - 8PM), and January 7th-22nd (10AM - 8PM).

The location for the store is:

(Former Boarders Bookstore)
9750 W. Broad St
Richmond, VA 23060

I am unsure if the new [restrictive] rules for shopping warehouse sales will be in place for this particular event. If you plan on attending, you might want to check out the comments in the "Mark Your Calendars: J.Crew Warehouse Event {Dec 1..." post to give you an idea of what to expect.

*PLEASE NOTE* Read the comments from fellow JCAs in this post before you attend. There are some informative tips that you should be aware of.

If you are attending this sale, please share with us! Let us know if it is worth going and what deals you found. Also, please let us know if there are any shopping rules/ restrictions. Thanks! :)

J.Crew's After Holiday Sales {meh}

Greta (in this post) has made a simple observation that I thought warranted its very own post:

The after-Christmas sales at J Crew have been underwhelming.

I could not agree more!!! Is this not the time when retailers give greater discounts to move out merchandise?

After all the a-ma-zing promotions we saw from J.Crew in the weeks leading up to Christmas, it is surprising to see such lack luster offers from them now.

I got a better a deal on items purchased a few weeks with the option to return (none of this final sale nonsense). I could almost get on board with "final sale" if the prices were lower, but they seem to be at the same sale price points from last year.

I am hoping that J.Crew will run a killer promo after this SHOPNOW ends. Until then, I will wait a bit longer.

What are your thoughts on J.Crew's post-Christmas promotions? Are you disappointed or pleased with them?

Sought & Found: Did you visit J.Crew this {past} Weekend?

This is the weekly "sale watch" post, to help each other find sale items at our various local J.Crew stores. ;)

If you are stopped by a J.Crew store this past weekend to see what's available (if anything!) in the FALL sale, or to see some new FALL/WINTER 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!!! :)
