J Crew ~aholics Thread!

[cosmogrl5]

I cannot believe I've missed this thread! I LOVE J. Crew so much that it's a little ridiculous. Of course, it's also where I work.

OMG! My money would never leave the store!!! My cousin works in their graphics design department and I'm always hinting at how much I love the store. You know, in case she wants to share the wealth.

For those that have the Lady Day coat - how does it run? I'm usually a 6, but these seem quite fitted, should I size up to be able to layer underneath?
TIA!

I find that J.Crew generally runs a bit large, so I would say the LDC fits true to your "regular" size, not your "J.Crew" size.

disappointed with some of my final sale online buys i'd really like to return but it's "final sale". my receipt isn't labeled so and i'm not sure if all of the items were labeled online, i remember they used to label everything. has anyone ever tried returning a final sale item, does the computer system allow it?

 

[cosmogrl5]

^ I've never tried but was always under the impression that final sale items could not be returned. It is a disclaimer before checkout. I always hesitate to buy during final sales for that reason.

if i remember correctly last year i bought something online, and it didn't fit so i went to the store and returned it and they gave me store credit

oh and it was final sale

I returned a final sale item and got store credit - I said it wasnt as described on the web site, it looked different.

i've noticed that the last 2 final sales haven't had the indicator dot next to the final sale items on the receipts and i haven't had any issues returning anything that was purchased final sale when the dot is missing.

I have returned final sale items that I bought online to the store and they have always just credited my charge card

LOL, that's kind of how it is for me! It's so hard to be good when you're surrounded by such lovely things all the time! And your cousin's job sounds SO incredible... I would love to have such a fantastic job with J. Crew!

Still debating on what I'm going to get from the final sale online (see?! I can't be good!).

last few times i ordered final sale items, it was marked final sale on the shipping receipt. One item ran small and wanted to return it in store but they wouldn't...

Yes, she works on their website. My job is so not interesting and I'd just kill for hers! Before that she worked for Anthropologie and her discounts were awesome! Oh and she was allowed to bring her dog to work. She gets a pretty good discount at J. Crew but not as good.

Now that I know it is possible to return items that don't work for me from the final sale, I am SO there!

Hi ladies, so glad I found this thread! I'm a major J Crew fan, have been for so long and just love the unique pieces they feature. I just bought the Station Coat in camel from the final sale along with the cashmere pop collar sweater and black rock necklace. I hope the coat fits, I'm a little nervous because I like to try coats on before I buy. I'm 5'2" and on the petite side, so I got the 6P. Hope it works cause I've been looking for the perfect peacoat for so long!

Needanotherbag,

The Lady Day coat has a very slim cut. At 5'4" and 125, I wear a size 4 in it, but wish it had a tiny bit more room in the waist and bust (and I have a very small waist and wear a 32A bra). I would go with the size you normally buy in J Crew coats or jackets, if you do not want to layer much under it. Otherwise, if you are planning to layer or wear heavy sweaters, you might want to size up.

Love this look. Its simple but very elegant.
