Hmmm, not sure. Freehold JCrew has done so for me in the past but I always go to one SA in particular that knows me now... so don't know if its store policy or I just buy way too much stuff and they do it as a courtesy for me.
Worth popping in w your receipts and asking!

Thanks for the response! Since the store is across town and I'm not normally in that area, I tried calling and spoke with the store's manager. She basically said I could bring the items in and return them...to which I then followed-up and asked if I could then re-buy them and she replied that I could technically do that :graucho:

The stores currently have 30% off sale (since the weekend), so I'll be trying to go there tomorrow after work, even though it'll be quite a trek across town.

As a JCrew newbie I have a question about their sales. I keep hoping darker colors of the Emmaleigh dress will go on sale but so far it's just been the red. Will it be a while before colors like the navy and grey get marked down or should I purchase them at full price? I need petite sizing so online is the only option. Thanks!

i got the light heather grey on sale a while ago (can't remember what i paid, but i'm pretty sure it was under 100). i don't think black/navy/dark grey on sale, however. i THINK i may have seen the petite on sale though (i've noticed the petite/tall don't go on sale the same time as the regular sizes).

Update on my return/rebuy sale items for additional % off: Went to the store and told them that I had spoken with a manager who said I could technically return my items and then rebuy them for the additional % off sale. SA looked at me blankly and said that they do not do that, asking for the name of the manager that I spoke to, which I did not accurately remember. The current manager allowed me to return and rebuy. While the SA was ringing me up, I mentioned that I also had a Student ID for the student discount and she gave the same line, "We don't do that, you have to choose one or the other." The manager went ahead and said they would make an exception this time, but it's not normally their policy in some cases. I walked out of the store glad that I didn't buy anything more than my previous purchase and thankful that I was able to save some money in the end.

They will say you can't do it but there is nothing to stop you if you are within your return window. I get really annoyed when they get new SAs in my store who tell me I can't use the student discount on something or I can't do something else and I immediately just ask for a manager because it isn't worth arguing with the SA over when I know I'm right. SAs come and go at my store but I have been around for years, haha.

I just snagged the Liberty London flower matchstick jeans on sale w extra 40% off and free shipping... They came to $53, regular price was $150... I love them. I'm so glad I waited until they went on sale.... Now I need the blue flowered ones to go on sale. I'm waiting patiently

Thanks for the feedback, jordan! It's quite annoying when an SA tells you something isn't true when you know it is and have done it before. Also annoying: J.Crew playing keep-away with certain sizes and pieces whenever there's a nice sale promo.

Hi all, I would like to see if J Crew's flats and loafer is comfy? Is the leather soft? Thanks for your advice.

I will admit that I do not have much experience with their shoes, but I did try on the silver glitter flats you attached and found them to be uncomfortable. It could be me just not accustomed to elastic-band flats, but the footbed also struck me as potentially a hot mess for my foot after a day. They were super cute with all the sparkly glitter, but I passed on them quickly because I did not believe they would be very comfortable at all and I don't need to add to my shoedrobe right now :graucho:
