J.Crew 30% off Summer Sale

Even after all of my unbirthday shopping in June, I couldn't resist the 30% off sale at J.Crew.  I got the Plaid Boucle Tweed Jacket, which was $268, for $87.99 in store.  Wow!  I love the way it was styled in the June Style Guide:

Oh, J.Crew!  Love everything about this look
Here it is on me in real life...

J.Crew Plaid Bouncle Tweed Jacket
J.Crew Tiered Dot Tank
DKNY White and Gold Ceramic Watch
Citizens of Humanity Cropped Dylan Jeans
J.Crew Mona Shoes in Poppy
Love the neon pink accents! 
It's more fitted, so if you are busty or beyond a B cup, you will probably either need to size up or not zip it.  I don't plan on zipping it up, so I am fine.  The next size was too baggy under arms and the sleeves were longer.

I also love this picture featuring the white Tiered Dot Tank from the June Style Guide.  I was so excited when I saw it on sale in the store for $27.99.  This fits true to size.

Love this look...
I got the Cafe Capri in Safari Cat for the killer price of 24.99 after the in store 30% off  discount. They are thicker linen material, true to size fit maybe a bit bigger. For this look, I added something old and something new.  I haven't wore my ruffle tank for a while, but threw it on for a warm summer day and bright shoes.  Simple for a sunny day.

Madewell Secret Shapes Necklace
DKNY White Ceramic and Gold Watch
J.Crew Sequin Tiered Ruffle Tank (old)
J.Crew Cafe Capri in Safari Cat
Tory Burch Robinson Demi-Wedge Sandals
Speaking of J.Crew Cafe Capri,  I've been on a kick lately.   I was afraid to try them at first out of fear of looking ridiculous, then I caved in when I got the abstract leopard pair I reviewed in March.  I'm sure I didn't need another leopard pair, but this is a different print, linen, and at the sale price of $20.99 after the discount, why not?  Besides, I have so many J.Crew pencil skirts, so this is a nice switch.  In addition to the Cafe Capri's in Safari Cat and I got the warm jade and bright dahlia, as seen below:


I will post pictures later of different styles.

In the store, I found the Shoreline-stripe dress in Kelly Green below for $27.99 after the 30% off in store?  It's still full price online ($69.50).  Seriously, the price differences between online and in store drive me nuts.



This will be great for summer days.  You can also add a cardigan, blazer or jean jacket for evenings or cooler days.  I paired it with the white Nolita Denim Jacket (from two years ago) below:

J.Crew Shoreline-stripe dress in Kelly Green
J.Crew White Nolita Denim Jacket (older)
J.Crew Golden Cabochon Bracelet in Navy
J.Crew Farmer's Market Tote
Cole Haan Air Catalina Sandal
How was your week?  Did you give into to the 30% off sale?

    Love all your outfits! I only got the frog bracelet on a pop-back, so it wasn't really a sale purchase. I also got the other colour Margate satchel in the store and since I am going downtown tomorrow to meet a friend, my in-store PS told me she has set aside some things for me. I smell trouble.

    Great finds! You're so lucky that you could get the blazer for much less in store :) I wish J. Crew would be more consistent for instore and online!

    So envious of your store finds, I am rarely able to find my size at the super sale prices, the online sale plus 30% off is usually about as good as I can expect.

    Everything looks great on you!

      Thanks, Tiffany! My Personal stylist emails me and lets me know if there is a price difference on things I've looked at in the store before. That helps a lot.

    I love the tweed jacket. I didn't think of wearing it with white. That's cute as is the mix of textures.

    Thanks for the reviews!
    The price difference between the stores and online is ridicioulus and it is really bad for people who are not near a store.

      Ina, I agree. The price differences are ridiculous. I am lucky to have a Personal Stylist who will email me if something goes on sale and then I check in the store often.

      Thanks, Wellfedfred. I don't understand the web to store price differences. It's getting worse, I think.

    Tammy, were you able to get the two colored pair of cafe capri for the same price as the safari print? Thanks! The pricing is driving me crazy too! I'm sure I've overpaid for the seersucker capri on line, so I'm hoping to get the dahlia for a great price (esp since I'm still sketchy about wearing them in public! ).
