Has anyone heard if J.Crew is planning another %off total purchase promotion like they were running before Christmas? I'm getting married in June and my bridesmaids will be wearing J.Crew dresses, so I'm wondering if there's any chance they could order them for cheaper sometime in the next few months. ;)

I placed an order this morning with the 30% off. The sterling skirt in heather acorn popped back in my size and I wanted to make sure to snap it up. I have the hacking jacket in the same color, so it will be nice to have as a winter suit as well as wearing each piece on its own. I also got the gray tipped hacking jacket and a pair of pajama bottoms (to put me over the free shipping mark).

I am sure others use this trick, but I monitor stock by putting a bunch of something in my cart. If there are less than nine the system will correct the amount and you will know exactly how many are left. There were only four hacking jackets left in my size and one of the skirt, so I knew I should order. There are a few other things I want but there were plenty left so I will hold out for a 40% off the sale price discount. Happy shopping!

Sounds like you got some great pieces! I like your idea about the sizes btw, may need to start doing that.

Picked up 2 Tippi sweaters, tank, and color blocked tee in Madagascar.

Love JCrew - it's helped building a work wardrobe without looking stuffy or old but always put together.

To all the ladies with the TOWNHOUSE trench coat......

do you ever think that piece is too trendy? is it hard to pair with outfits for a more toned-down look? I managed to get the Townhouse a few days ago at a fantastic deal but just wasn't blown away by the look; in fact I felt a bit underwhelmed when I tried it on.....ironically it looked a bit overwhelming on my body, esp. the gold buttons. Wonder if this piece is really worth keeping......

I love JCrew! However, I feel like the quality of the fabrics etc isn't like it used to be back in the day. I still purchase some classic pieces long as I feel like the quality is worth the price. I purchased a great sweater for $ 120 a little over a year ago and it's already coming apart. I don't beat up my clothes.. so it's quite annoying for the price the quality stinks.

When I was in college my entire wardrobe was Jcrew and the quality lasted for so many years. I still have several dresses, suits, sweaters etc that are in excellent shape from back then which you would never know was purchased many years ago.

I'm not a J Crewaholic (yet) but I purchased my first item. I saw the Matinee Trench in navy in a store display window and it immediately caught my eye. I tried on a size 0 (I'm 5'3" and 100 lbs) and it fit perfectly. It was too expensive so I did not buy it. I started an ebay alert and a few days later I saw one listed and purchased it. When I got it, it had silver instead of gold hardware. I like silver more so it's ok. The only problem is that the sleeves are slightly too short, but I saved a lot of money. The sales associate told me it was water resistant, but I don't think it is. I sprayed some Kiwi Camp Dry spray on the belt but I don't think it made much of a difference.

I don't think it's too trendy. Camel, black and navy look very classic.

This is my favorite coat. I live the look of the buttons in the camel. I ended up getting it in eggplant and vibrant red as well. Not classic colors, but they were $39 at the warehouse sale so I couldn't just leave them there :laugh:

But, if you don't love it, return it

Thanks to the 40% off on the website, I finally pulled the trigger on 2 coats! Too bad there weren't any good colors left for the Lady Day coat... I've missed out on it for the past 2 years now because I waited too long. Hopefully J crew will have the Lady Day coat again come winter 2012.

Thanks to Chloe Chloe, I pulled my trigger and ordered a jcrew envelope coat in heather majestic purple, it's arriving tommorrow and I can't wait:))

I too waited far too long for the Lady Coat, hopefully they will sell it next year!

^^^Don't worry, the Lady Day coat is JCrew'w perennial classic style and has been re-released every year (in different colors) for numerous years to-date. It's styles like the Townhouse Trench and Metro Coat that are unique to this year (I think) and that probably won't make a comeback next year.
