J. Crew Summer Sale

Heard so much about the in store sale at J. Crew. Prices are so much better than the online ones. Plus, they have additional 30% off all sale items. Hard to resist.

Visiting family in Toronto this week. Spending the weekend here to celebrate Father's Day.

To get my shopping out of my system, so first day off to Yordale for J. Crew sale.



My wardrobe has gone from black, grey and brown to bright colors. Not just bright colors, but NEON bright. The colors on sale were this neon pink, neon peach and I believe a bright yellow. I love pink so it was not hard to pick out my color. This one is on sale for $45.99, additional 30% off.



I like this color a lot and the material is very stretchy as the name suggested. The price is great. $34.99, additional 30% off but I feel like I have a lot of solid-colored shirts already so pass for this one.



This one is not on sale but wanted to try it on to see if I like it enough for $268.........
Verdict is no. Will wait for it to go on sale.



When I saw this on the website, I wanted to try this on. Fabric is kind of sheer. I always have problem fitting into this type of peasant blouse. Don't get me wrong, I love the look of it, just not on myself. I feel like the top is too big on me but then if I size down, it would be tight on the shoulders. 


Not sure what this linen top is called. Tessa, maybe?

I wasn't really into linen tops as I hate ironing. This one would make me spend a lot of time with the iron. But the price is too good to pass. $34.99, additional 30% off.



This one is the only size left. I would usually get a M in tee. This one is marked down from $42 to $24.99, additional 30% off. 


another version of vintage stripe tee

This is the color I want but this is not on sale. Still $42.



This terry pullover is not as thick as a regular sweatshirt but I want to wear it alone in the summer and it's a bit too warm. Plus, it's a neon again. Once this neon trend is gone, my closet would be still stuck with many neons. So even though the price is awesome( think $34.99, additional 30% off), I didn't get this. 



I never thought I would like this crochet lace tee. But I like it when I tried it on. Sold.

I was going to get the Scoopneck blouse in anchors aweigh. Last time I love it so much that I almost bought it full-priced. Now, it is on sale in store for $74, additional 30% off. What a great deal but the only size left is a whole bunch of 2's. No go for me as I could probably fit a 4 but a 2, no way. Guess will have to watch out for it online and hoping that when it goes on further sale, my size would be still available.

The other item that I was going to get was the pencil skirt in serge cotton. I tried it on a couple of times before and I can understand why so many people rave about it. I am not a skirt person and I feel too dressed up in a pencil skirt. There were lots of pencil skirts in store in the sale section. Solid colors as well as patterned ones. I was overwhelmed with all the items I grabbed to the change room that I did not bother with them. 

Overall, very happy with what I got today. Such great deals on so many items. Just wish there will be further reduction in sale items for all online items soon.

  2. Just an FYI: take care when you wash the crochet lace tee, because the bottom of the lace on mine faded big time after a trip through the washer/dryer. It looked so shabby afterward that I took it to Goodwill.

    Thanks for the sale reviews!

  5. Nice picks! I went to the Yorkdale store as soon as I heard about the additional 30% off. I was restrained though, only got a dress , belt and skirt. Hoping to go back soon to see the new arrivals.

  6. I really like the crochet lace tee on you :) It strikes a lovely balance between being casual and dressy. The navy colour is really flattering as well.
