Does anyone else go through dry spells and then a rush of purchases like me? I went at least three months with wanting nothing from full price. I would go and look and leave. This week I got four things in store and ordered four things online. My store's sale section seems to be priced so much higher in Charleston, SC than where I used to live in NJ. I want more Jcrew for my dollar so it usually holds me back from shopping. I am starting to think maybe they are a vacation type store so the company prices their sale merchandise higher?

So I went to the J.Crew sample sale in Manhattan! I went on the first day, and waited in line for 30 mins. It was packed with tons of goodies, but still kind of pricey. I definitely saved money because it was still cheaper than buying this stuff on sale even with the extra 30% off. Just depends on whether you think its worth it to wait in line and dig through racks of stuff!
I got:
-Camille dress in neon violet $60
-Daisy lace stripe dress $60
-Tilda rhinestone top $40
-Chiffon sleeveless blouse in neon fuschia $25
-Jeweled necklace $60

On the last day of the sample sale, they gave an additional 50% off. Waited in line another 20ish minutes. By this day, almost all the clothing was gone. Lots of jeans and lots of bridesmaids dresses. All the jewelry was gone too. But there still TONS of shoes left and at $50/pair after the discount for heels it was definitely a steal. Only problem is some of the shoes have minor scuff marks/scratch marks. I got:
- Everly glitter cap toe pumps (now sold out, but retailed for $265)
- Miri midheel pumps in adobe (On sale on website for $189)
- Everly mirrored pumps in silver (Was full price on website for $245)
- Gold strappy stiletto sandals (on website currently for $228!!)
They had soo many amazing shoes left. Tons of Etta cap toe pumps, Etta calf hair pumps, Everlys...There were at least 3 more pairs I wanted. I scoured the place for the Etta calf hairs in my size and had no luck :( I'm glad I waited until the last day to buy shoes, because they were originally $100/pair.

Does anyone know what happens to all the stuff that doesn't get sold? I was there an hour before closing on the last day and there was still a TONNNN of left. At least 10 racks of women's clothing and hundreds of shoes. Is this the stuff that gets sold at the clearance sales in NC and VA for dirt cheap?

J.Crew does sample sales in Manhattan in the spring and in the fall! I think in 2012 the fall sample sale was in November? Here's a great review of the manhattan sample sale:

J.Crew has 3 clearance stores, 2 in Lynchburg VA and 1 in Arden NC. The Arden store just had a sample this weekend. I'm not sure when these two locations do sample sales, but I like to check the website http://jcrewaficionada.blogspot.com for news of upcoming sales :) They keep these sales kind of on the DL.. but it seems they host one every couple of months. They have DIRT cheap prices, way less than the Manhattan ones. Here's another good blog that did a great review, including prices of the sample sale in Virginia:
