After not shopping for two weeks I was ready to shop for pretty things without doing a conversion rate. It didn’t take me two days to walk into J Crew. I was lucky enough to still find a few items during the 30% off sale in-stores after I returned from our trip.
Pom-Pom Shell, Sz 6 – This isn’t on sale but I had tried it on that day. This is a tight in the bust for me so I would size to an 8. It’s not for me but I have a feeling if I saw it in the Yellow or Blue I would re-consider. It would depend on how saturated they really are online compared to IRL.
Ella Dress in Garden Floral, Sz 8, $198, $99.99, $69.99 in-store – I really liked this print on both the dress and skirt. This dress hit sale pretty quick, before I left, but I passed. When I saw it during my visit it had dropped in price again AND this was the only larger size left, in my size. It was meant to be for me. It’s silk and lovely and the colors are gorgeous and vibrant. I think this will be my birthday dress to run errands and shop ’cause turning 40 deserves a beautiful dress.
Linen Cable-Knit Sweater, Sz S, $79.50, $34.99, $24.99 in-store, Flax – I have almost every color of this sweater. Multiples? Yes please! I can get away without a cami under this color. These have been great lightweight sweaters to throw on with anything.
White Denim Mini, Sz 31, $69.50, $39.99 in-store – As I was getting dressed Saturday morning I thought to myself that I needed a White Denim Mini Skirt. Then I walked into JC and found it, on sale. I could have worn a 29 or 30 but those sizes were sold out. This size is great because I can wear it a little lower on my hips and it doesn’t feel so short, because this is SHORT. But I love it!
No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Garden Floral, Sz 6, $138, $89.99 – A gorgeous printed skirt that I would have snatched up had it been in my size on sale, in-store. Wearing it with the Naomi Top in Polka Dot.
Classic Mini in Double-Serge Cotton, Sz 8, $89.50, $79.50, Bright Spearmint & Brilliant Blue – I love this mini and this color. I am seriously contemplating the Blue.
Ella Dress in Porcelain Paisley, Sz 8, $298 $199.99 – This is such a beautiful dress but I have the pencil skirt and have been able to dress it down so it is a pass for me.
Midsummer Maxi Dress in Raj Paisley, Sz 8, $198, $119.99 – I bought this before my vacation and didn’t get a percent off but this dress served me well on my vacation. I wore it on the plane with a denim jacket and my Birkenstock’s. I wore it in this pic with my navy striped Soludos. If my Chambray Soludos hadn’t torn I would have worn it with those too. This one is cotton so I’m not sure how the Solid Linen will fit but this size is perfect for me.
And that wraps up my J Crew sale picks and purchases. What did you score?
Have a GREAT day!
You look great Audrey, vacation certainly agrees with you. Word of warning on the linen garment-dyed cable sweater. I have the neon azalea and also the non-garment-dyed version in periwinkle blue and both have shrunk and twisted after washing. Most of my J.Crew linen sweaters have done that though so I buy a size up and just don't worry about the torque.
Thanks xoxo. That happened to my Linen tees from last year from both JC and Zara. I sent mine to the cleaners and they came out fine, this time.
Uh-oh…guess I'll be stopping by J.Crew during lunch today 🙂 I love everything you tried on!
Thanks EOS – There are some good deals, mayber better than online, to be had in-store.
You look great in all the outfits! I really love the ella dress in floral on you and I think it's the perfect b-day dress! 🙂
Are those Monas in Wild Berry $54 currently in store?
Thank you!
Thanks Jan. I have no idea what color was $54 online. I was able to find the Wild Berry Mona's a month or so ago for $99.99 plus 30%. I guess JC is keeping these for Fall which is why the price went back up to the original. Good Luck finding them on sale in a store!
Hi Jan, I emailed my PS to find out of the Wild Berry Mona was on sale at the b&m, and if so could she order them for me with the additional 30% off. I just received an email confirmation that they were ordered for $48.99, no shipping. So they are definitely on sale, just not online.
This weekend I scored the same Linen Cable sweater in Flax, the Linen Cable cardigan in Wave Crest and Navy. Also, the silk leopard scarf.
Angie – I think my favorite of the Linen Cable sweaters is the Navy and the Garment Dyed Pink. I bet the Leopard scarf looks great with the Navy!
Great pics!! I bought the No. 2 pencil skirt in neon azalea, the drawstring shirt dress in navy, linen tippi in a bright green and the striped button front shirt. I placed an order this AM for the Sydney shoes in blue (I've been putting them in/out of my cart all weekend). I need navy sandals for summer and just love the style. I picked Mr. M a pair of swim trunks, too!! Super great sale items!
I forgot…I bought the Neon Azalea too, for like $26 or something! I'm so selfish I didn't even look for any shirts for The Boy. He wore the Gingham Irish Linen Shirt in Italy and looked so grown up. He even liked it!
You look fabulous in everything — great picks! I just received an order that included that spearmint mini, and it's a surprise love for me. I sized up so I could wear it a bit lower, but it's really cute and fun for summer.
That mint mini is perfect for summer. Between that mini and the white denim mini I bought, I could wear both all summer long!
I love the Garden Floral strapless dress on you! No way you are turing 40, I don't believe you!! More like 30! I have been VERY bad during this sale, I bought waaaay too much including the silk bow cami in garden floral, brilliant purple AND coral stripe! Tons of other stuff too…I really shouldn't buy anything else the entire summer! Glad you are back and hope you had a wonderful trip!
Jeannie – Thank you! Yep! I'll be 40 in a week and I'm ready for it…haha. I haven't participated in most of the sales of late until this one and I must confess I went back on Thursday! I grabbed the Burgandy No. 2 pencil skirt that was $59.99 in-store (!), and the Seersucker Shorts.
