20% off sale/free ship over $150 (EXTRA20). I used it to pick up some basics (good prices with extra 20%: long-sleeve v-neck t-shirts for $12 and short-sleeve v-necks for $10 -- and they actually have staple colors like black, white, and gray, which is really all that I wear as far as tanks or tees are concerned). I also grabbed two dress shirts (slim stretch shirt in white and black), which I need desperately but just haven't been inspired to shop for.

Some good popbacks, too. The Jersey Promenade Gown is back in dark pewter in four sizes (including mine! yes!), the cute t-shirt with the stripes is finally back in navy in my size, and I also saw the Black Blossoms cardi and the Linen-Silk city pants that I was raving all over the place about a while ago.

I keep hoping that the Schoolboy blazer will pop up in my size in Pearl Gray or Butterscotch, but no dice.
 
I haven't, but they're really cute. Has anyone tried the "Studio Blazer" (http://tinyurl.com/28de7bd)? It looks pretty standard, but it's $79.99 down from $200-something, and they have my size in black, and -- the only reason I'm interested in it in the first place -- they call it the "perfect travel piece" because supposedly it's wrinkle resistant. If it really IS good for travel, I may need it. I have a perfect black pencil skirt that doesn't wrinkle and packs like a dream, but I don't have a good blazer to take on business trips.

I'm pretty much J. Crewed out for a while, but there's some other nice stuff in the sale section right now. I really like the double-breasted McCoy blazer (navy or black wool), though I can't really wear double-breasted cuts very well. For people who can, that's a great-looking jacket. The cotton Rosella dress (http://tinyurl.com/27xfdla) looks like a really cute casual knock-around summer dress. And the slim stretch button-downs are great, and they have a lot of colors in a lot of sizes.

Pixie pants on sale, too, and we know I love those :smile1:.

I just picked up the Super 120s high pencil skirt in bright plum in my last 20% off sale order, and it's a hot color. Really fun. If anyone's in the market for a colorful pencil skirt, I'd recommend it. This is sacrilege, I'm sure, but I actually like the material better than the double serge. http://tinyurl.com/27e4p6a

The Victoria Ruffle tissue cami is still in the sale section in all colors (http://tinyurl.com/26t48h2). Everyone needs this in at least two shades. It looks fantastic under a v-neck sweater with either a pencil skirt or slacks for work. (Also cute with jeans or shorts, but it's one of my go-to work looks for transitional weather. I have white and charcoal. Still kind of toying with the idea of flamingo.)

If you're a small-medium, there are dark pewter fishnets for $5.99 (from $22.50). http://tinyurl.com/24vbaph

And size 9 or 10, these peep-toe black/gray flats are really cute. I wish they had my size. This is actually the first pair of peep-toe flats I've ever liked, I think. http://tinyurl.com/239ozvd
 
attention DC/MD/VA J. Crew-aholics - the whole back room of the Georgetown store has been turned into the sale room!!!!!!!! New items already marked down. I was there shortly after the doors were open, the area is fully stocked and my SA said, if you don't see something in your size 'ASK' because there are plenty of extra in the stock room...

Lots of shoes, jewelry, cashmere cardigans, t-shirts (most for $9.99)!!!!! There were even some items from fall on the floor :woohoo::yahoo:

I'll post my stuff sometime this weekend.
