The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays of the year, probably because it’s so close to my birthday. I can celebrate all week long. I also like finding the cutest Patriotic clothes to celebrate in. J Crew Factory has the right idea with 50% off everything both in-stores and online, prices as marked. The promo ends Thursday, June 30.

I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a fancy 4th of July party but this outfit certainly would make you sparkle. I think I really need to try the jacquard skirt.

The V-Neck Shell is linen and comes in white, warm red and this pretty reef blue.

Below are some more of my Patriotic picks from J. Crew Factory.

Are you shopping this quick promo from J. Crew Factory? Do you have your outfit planned for the 4th of July yet?

I am successfully decompressed and un-jetlagged from my trip. It took me a few days but I’m not walking around like a Zombie any longer. We had an amazing time and I hope you following along on my Instagram! I’ll share thoughts and more pics as soon as I can.

Currently J Crew Factory has a new promo with up to 60% off everything and an additional 20% off when you buy three or more items, using code THISISNICE. BUT!! I did receive an email from GiltCity today that has a J Crew Factory coupon for 30% or 35% off if you spend $135 or more. If you are not a member, join here to get your exclusive coupon code. The limit is one coupon per person.

Here’s what I have in my shopping cart. I like the Polo Dress in Navy and I ordered the Summer Plaid Shorts over the weekend. I have the Pleated Short in Scarlet. It’s a really deep red, not bright with an orange undertone.

I am still wanting the Keating Boy Blazer in the Navy Linen but the Petite size I need is now sold out. And of course, you’ve seen the Orange/Tangerine Shirt is back. I like the pretty little Gingham Shell and would get it in the Bright Red. I would hope it looks more like the online image and not be too red.

The Boy liked his short-sleeve shirts I bought him last year. I will be getting him this and the Linen in Deep Harbor and Royal Blue White..

The GiltCity coupon is good until May 15 and can be used one-time only in-stores or online.

Happy Shopping!

J Crew Factory has gone Gigi “Stripe-sick” this week. Through today, striped items are 40% off, prices as marked. What makes that better is the HEYSPRING promo where you can take another 20% off if you spend $100 or more. I received that promo in one of my Factory orders. You can take 25% off by using your J Crew Card and code SPRINGCARD.

The nice thing about this promo is they have already picked out all the striped options for you and have them linked at the top of the web page. How cute is the girls’ Sateen Striped Dress? I want the mens’ Striped Hoodie for myself.

I reviewed the Striped Knit Dress and took a Small in it. The Striped Racerback Cami is TTS and I took my normal size 8. It’s nice and lightweight and I originally purchased it to take on my trip but decided to take a few different items instead.

There are not a whole lot of items to choose from in the men/girls/boys categories but enough to get you to $100 to take 20% off with code HEYSPRING, or 25% off with SPRINGCARD using your J Crew Card. Those codes are good until April 15.

Are you stripe-sick shopping at J Crew Factory?

It’s a struggle at times to keep up with J Crew Factory’s price games every few days. I try to hold out until there’s 50% off everything but was looking at quite a few items for my trip so I placed a few orders. I did get a good price on the Flutter-Sleeve Tunic in White with the Gilt promo and that’s a keeper. The Tissue Tunic in Deep Navy also caught my eye but I like the shorter sleeves on the one I purchased.

I have the Basketweave Shorts in Scattered Dot in the Ivory but really like the Navy Dot this time. I found it fit TTS in my normal size 8. Since I have the Navy Dot Pencil Skirt I passed on the same in the shorts. The Oxford Shorts have been eluding me for a year, usually selling out quickly in my size. This time I ordered them in the Dark Indigo.

Both the Anchor Caryn Cardigan and Pineapple Caryn Cardigan look really cute. I’m still waiting for JCF to bring back the short-sleeve lightweight cardigans. I have the retail version of the Neon Floral Flounce Skirt. The Factory version is poly/cotton and not embroidered. I’d have to see it in person to really make a decision on it.

The current promo is 40% off clearance with code MUSTSHOP. I had re-ordered some of these items over the weekend when they were 50% off and was also able to use a promo code that came in my other package. Use HEYSPRING to take 20% off $100 and SPRINGCARD for 25% off $100 with your J Crew Card. These two codes are good until April 15 so keep them in your back pocket if you need a promo code.

New arrivals are here! I was excited to see the Early Access email Wednesday for J Crew Factory and only ordered two items. The prices didn’t seem to be as discounted like they normally are. They went up slightly when all the new arrivals were rolled out to everyone and the latest promo started. You can take 20% off your purchase of $100 or more with WEARNOW. If I had bought today, I would be spending $3 more with this promo.

You can see I’m still “stripesick” and like the Moroccan Red of the Artist Stripe Tee. Online, the color looks similar to the retail Midweight Stripe Tee in Cherry. In hindsight, I would purchase the Factory Tee for the slightly slimmer shape.

Like I mentioned in my Loft post yesterday, I want some nice trouser jeans. I ordered the Denim Trouser Jean. I know I’ll need to have them hemmed and if they fit well and look nice I will definitely get another pair. I’d like one for flats and one for heels. They look nice and dark with no fading so they’ll be good for in-the-office-days and date nights.

I also love the Retro Lemon of the Split-Neck Dress and the Scalloped Shift Dress in both the Bright Amethyst and Dublin Green. I don’t need them and have no where to wear them but those bright colors are enticing.

I always peruse the men’s section for The Boy but also for me. I like their Fisherman Sweaters and found one a few years ago. It’s back in both Navy and Ivory, though only larger sizes remain. I have a size Small in the Navy. I ordered the preppy Slim Cable-Knit V-Neck.

I haven’t been yet, but I am guessing the actual store might have some better promos. They usually start at 30% off certain items but I’m sure there are less items discounted than the website. If anyone knows for sure, let me know.

Are you shopping J Crew Factory or waiting until the next roll-out?
