Seek & Find: Will you visit J.Crew this 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 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!

    1. Yay!!! Free shipping on top of the INSTYLE25 code is potentially a huge additional percent off! On a $100.00 order, that is an additional 9% off!!! Thanks 312JCgirl : )

    2. I agree. This is a great deal with the INSTYLE25 promo. I wanted to try the fluted crepe skirt, but was not willing to pay shipping and didn't have anything else I really wanted to order.

    1. Thanks Gigi! I called a store in Toronto and they said its still 40% off. I'll try again later because you never know lol.

      Delete
    2. I called too (US and CA stores) and both are doing the 40% off (only!)

  3. went in yesterday; 40% off, pretty much same items. Got a black leather belt.

  4. So I need to ask, i've heard twice now an instore associate being able to order online so that the customer can take advantage of the additional 40% off. Is this common and can I just ask someone to help me with this?!?!? thanks :)

    1. Hi snowbrdgrl- if the store doesn't have your size they can order through customer service for you. If its on sale they'll honour the store extra % off but normally you'll have to pay shipping on a sale item. Just ask a SA to do it for you, some are more helpful than others but I've always had a good experience. HTH

    2. hi Jan, I took my chances and called a couple of stores and found one willing to do that for me. She was SOO nice! thanks for your reply!!!

  5. Was just in store yesterday, was able to use the INSTYLE25 code. They mentioned they were getting 40 boxes of new roll out today (Friday) for Monday's new releases. So I'll be waiting until Monday!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I haven't been to my local store in a long time. It's fairly small and the women's sale section is pretty meager. But I took advantage of the INSTYLE25 and free shipping today to order a top and pants that popbacked on sale this morning. It's no 40% off, but I know I wouldn't have been able to find these items in my store!

  7. I have the factory excursion vest in navy on hold so I will be going to pick that up. Also making a few returns. A bit OT but I went to one of my local stores last night and they were having an event with drinks and appetizers and 20% off if you spend $125 or maybe it was $150. I was going to buy something all and had my In Style coupon but curious to know what the event was for as I didn't get an invite.

  9. I need help. Should I buy the kiki flats? I know they have received alot of positive reviews. But I am worried about the leather holding up over time. The classic leather ballet flats in fuchsia that I bought last summer and have worn less than 10x have scratches all over the toe area. I spend most of my time sitting in my office, so it's not like I am hard on my shoes. Are the kikis made of the same inferior leather? I am dying for the deep eggplant color... they look so fabulous of Dani, WMM, and everyone else who has modeled them on their blogs. I am still just not sure!

    1. Oh, and I will definitely be hitting up the factory store this weekend. 40-60% off the entire store? Why not.

      Delete
    2. When I saw the in store, they looked sturdy and same leather as the classic ballet to me. I have the classic ballet flats in purple and tan. The purple did get scratch marks fast (granted I used them on wild excursion in SanFran so maybe I am to blame) but the tan ones have held up and I wear them pretty much every day.

      By the way, I purchased some flats from you a while back (the bow pump flats in a light green color). I still love them, so thank you JcrewID...if you have JCrew shoes in size 11 you want to get rid of, please remember me ;)

      Delete
    3. hi! Ok, so I should get them and just not wear them on wild excursions... LOL! I can manage that.

      Thank you for responding!

      Ah yes, the viv bow flats. Those were hard to give up! I am really glad you love them! I wear the black ones constantly. I will definitely keep you in mind as I am always paring down my shoe wardrobe and getting rid of things I no longer wear!

    4. keep us posted! I do love my Kikis and wear them constantly!

  10. I got the Andros watch as a gift for my husband yesterday. It was $118 and the SA applied the 25% off so I got it for $88. I think it's so cute in the navy color :)

  11. My siblings-in-law just moved down here to Albuquerque this week, and live next door to the J. Crew. So I have a feeling I'll be visiting a lot more, even if I don't have the clothing money to buy anything until December! :)

    I took advantage of the online sale recently and sprung for the boyfriend cardigan in pale pink. It's supposed to be arriving today, I'll post an update on my blog today or tomorrow.

    In the meantime, here's a silly picture of me with J. Crew's collection cashmere cardigan as well as the pixie pants that I might just die wearing. Yes, they are that comfortable.

  12. Probably will head to my local store tomorrow to pick up the Etta in sequin and the black suede Martina's. love the instyle promo. I also will be making a return.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Are any of the leather items marked down in store??

    ReplyDelete
  14. Does anyone know if you can stack the instyle25 promo on top of the 40% off final sale items in-store?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Elizabeth, I was able to but I bet it's going to depend on the store. Fine print on the InStyle promo says cannot be combined with any other promotion or offer so you may get pushback.

      Delete
    2. my store would not stack them

      Delete
    3. Thanks for the replies! I wasn't sure about this one...I was thinking maybe they would just take the extra 25% off the final total (whether you purchased full price, final sale, or a mix of both). I recall they did that when they were running the extra % off for cardholders earlier in the summer. I agree it's a toss up. I know the store 5 minutes from me won't do it. They still won't even take the student discount unless it's on a fp item. Trying to decide if I should make the 1 hr trip to my other store that happily stacks promos and always has a much better selection.

      Delete
    4. Ditto to Silver_lining, I was able to do it. I went to a store in DC that it always generous w promos (even on phone orders). I was also buying a mix of sale stuff and new merchandise.

      Have you called the far-away store to see if they have anything you are looking for? IME, a store that is generous w discounts is usually generous in pulling and holding sale stuff :0)

      Delete
    5. My store stacked but they are usually pretty lenient on promos. Some of my other local stores are not.

      Delete
    6. 312JCgirl,
      What store is stacking these promo's?
      That is an awesome deal!

    7. Soowan it was the North Ave store in Chicago. However I just bought something at one of my other local stores and they didn't stack. Boo:(

    8. Thanks 312JCgirl! I'm going to give it a shot!

  15. I'm not going. I'll probably look in next week at the new rollout.

  19. OT but Ily Couture is having a great promo on their version of the Bubble Necklace, $15 each if you buy one, $12 each each if you buy 3, and $10 each if you buy five. I have several of their bubble necklaces and think they are great quality, by far better than eBay versions.

  20. Stopped by both the retail and Factory stores tonight. Bought the blue wool embroidered emblem baseball cap (love!) using Instyle 25% off and Tippi sweater in a brown/ coco color that was 40% final sale off plus my store stacked the Instyle promo. The sales section was decent but it seems a lot of the same stuff I've been seeing on sale. The Factory store had pretty good prices with the 40 to 60% off everything. I found the navy excursion vest in small. Luckily I called yesterday and had them put it on hold because they had no navy vests in any size tonight. I also saw a complete knock off of the retail ruffle collared rhinestone top in both the oxford blue and white. They looked almost identical to the retail version. I recently bought the retail version for a great price and I love it. I also bought the suede clutch in a maroon/ cabarnet color for $27 after sales price and 40% off! Ina reviewed it on her blog today.It's lovely especially for that price. My Factory store had several of the French Hen and bulldog sweaters on sale plus 40% off. I need to to return a few things to the retail store tomorrow as I went to the retail store on my way home from work and didn't have my return items. I will need to resist the temptation to buy anything else:)

    2. You're welcome! Thanks for the review. I made a beeline for the clutch after I saw your review. My store didn't have it marked down so I would have not known about the amazing $27 price tag either!

  21. The lil birdie emailed me this morning to say that Canada had an addtl 40% off sale items. I'm sorry I wasn't able to hop on and share the update that it wasn't 50%. I also apologize for getting anyone hyped up. I was just sharing what's told to me. I do know that J Crew changes things on the fly, so it's possible they were thinking of doing 50 and decided 40. Hey, it's the Crewniverse. Who knows.

    I did get to a b&m and tried the leather Darby studded loafers. Review here. They were marked $119.99 in-store.

    1. Oh -- and the pyramid studded Ceces were also marked $109.99 or $119.99 in-store. All 3 colors.

  22. Went to both crew and crewlet yesterday. Saw a few new items at both. At retail I got an adorable grey dress with off white Peter Pan collar. sim style and material to the stretch paneled dress minus the bottom side seams. Also got the Darby suede tassel flats. Love these. Super comfortable. I sized 1/2 size down from my cece size. At factory saw the jeweled tilda in both colors and the scalloped/raindrop lace top in long slv version in black and mauve.

  27. Went to the factory store yesterday after seeing the email for 40-60% off the whole store. I also had to return the everett field jacket from the website. This jacket only comes in black and has a belt and no waist tab buttons. I ordered the large so I could layer sweaters underneath, but it just didn't fit right-- and it seemed to be poorer quality than the navy field jacket in stores. BTW, both factory field jackets (why there has to be an in-store one and an online one is beyond me!) aren't coated like the retail one. I ended up having to have my size in the navy one sent from another factory store- the navy just looks better than the black one! I did find oxford popovers, the peter pan collar tee, and scarves on clearance which was an extra 40% off and I got the navy matchstick cords at 60% off. I was able to use my student discount too. It was a great weekend for some fall shopping!

  28. Had to make returns so stopped by both the factory and retail. Did not get a thing at factory but found some great buys in retail. They really should be better about marking things properly as there were a few things a was on the fence about decided to purchase and saw they were cheaper than the tag. The tweed from tee rang up $39.99 and was $23.99 after discount and the silk beanstalk top rang up $59.99 and was $35.99 after discount. Also got jewleled sweatshirt and a few other odds and ends.

  29. Did a quick stop at Cherry Creek, CO store (303-322-7020) this morning. They had lots of the Painted Jewel Sweatshirts in all sizes $89.99 with 40% off. Also, some other items I noticed on sale, Swiss Dot Tuxedo Shirt $69.99 and Tweed Front merino sweater in Graphite Grey $89.99, Darby Studded cap toe loafers - Warm Almond ($109.99), prices prior to 40% off. 303-322-7020

      AD MD - Review of the white is here. I tried on the navy the other day. I didn't like the way the dots looked in navy. Like little bugs. I think it's because the dots are more oval than round. hth

  31. I went by the J Crew Factory, but I didn't end up getting anything. I was interested in some of the merino sweaters, but they felt very rough and itchy.

  40. Went to factory...bought a couple long sleeved v neck tees (all are $9.99), some trouser socks ($5/pair) and bought a sweater that is part of the new roll out. It is super soft...softest I have seen at factory (not cashmere)...it is ivory in the front and burgundy in the back/sides with beige (fake suede) patches. Super cute and they were selling fast. The SA mentioned their full fall rollout happens on 10/10 (in store...not sure about online) and gave me a coupon for 20% $100 or more thru 10/20.

  42. Factory - I just recvd an email for 20% off $100 with EXTRA. Good 10/5 - 10/9, which is interesting because I just got the email on 10/6. Good in Canada as well.

    Am I sharing new or old news?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Does anyone know how long the 40% in store will go for? I may have to go back and get that Ruffled Rhinestone Top. Also Madewell is offering an extra 30% off sale in store which is fairly rare. A lot of things are majorly marked down so there are some good deals to be had.
