Current steals at a JCrew store near you

Yesterday I went to the Jcrew store at the Time Warner center (the closest after the Madison Av. Collection store by stroller distance) to return the lightweight denim trousers (thanks again for all the good advice). First of all, I was amazed to see how many sale items they have sold in one week. I was there exactly one week before and there was nothing or almost left. Second, there are some very good deals right now in the stores if you can find your size. The 20% off on top of the already reduced prices make them a real steal. For example, almost all the non-embellished tees (the boyfriend in all colors for sure) are $9.99 (before the 20% off); the shorts, even the more expensive ones like the colorblock, are $19.99. I even found a tiered-ruffle skirt for $29.99!

There wasn't much left in my size and I'm all shopped out but I couldn't pass this beauty:



OK, I have another straw bag and it's true that I don't use it much but it's smaller, which makes it unsuited for the beach. And for $15.99 (yes, $15.99 down from $68) it would have been a crime not to buy it (I figured that only the flower would cost as much or more).

I also picked up the Featherweight cotton V-neck cardigan (also known as the crystal-buttons cotton cardi) in white for $31.99 (it's still FP online). I have been waiting for it to go on sale since the moment I have returned the shell one, that I had bought with the Mickey card (I realized that I would have worn it with the rosette tee only). This is not a steal but something that I kind of "needed" in my closet (I don't have a white cardi for the summer). By the way, if you are considering the sea green color and you haven't seen it IRL, let me tell you that it's to die for: the color is exactly THE Tiffany blue and if I hadn't already the ATL cardi in a similar (but darker) green I would have bought it in a second (I had found one my size with a button missing).

Do you plan to visit Jcrew this weekend? Any steal that you want to share?

Have a nice weekend!

    I just posted my finds from this past week - but my JC was really picked over. I was thrilled to get the pearl garden bracelet in clementine and a pair of cafe capris, both at 20% off. yay!

    Love the straw tote - you will really enjoy that!

    I literally *just* posted it, and I find that it always takes a little bit of time to come through. But thanks for the heads up, I'll check on it later tonight or in the morning.

    Love that bag - I've been eyeing it online for awhile but am yet to take the plunge. Amazing deal, I would have grabbed it up for that too.

    I got the same straw bag last week with the FS. Love to take it to the beach or the pool with my girls.

    Love that bag! I need a new white cardigan too so i think a trip to JC is in order this weekend! I hope your stock isn't too low, I've heard it's pretty picked over. Worth the try at least!
