Extra 30% Off Sale Items {J.Crew stores & online}

"Thanks!" to many of you, including GigiOfCa (in this post), tiffany rose (in this post), as well as A Bigger Closet & Irina, who shared the following update from J.Crew this morning.

J.Crew is offering customers 30% off all sale items (no min) with promo code MUSTHAVE. This offer expires Sunday, November 20, 2011. The fine print includes:
* Offer valid at jcrew.com and J.Crew retail stores only. Offer is not valid at J.Crew Factory stores. No exchanges, no returns on items marked as final sale. Offer does not apply to previous purchases or the purchase of gift cards. Additional 30% off discount applies to J.Crew sale and Factory online sale items only. Offer valid through Sunday, November 20, 2011, 11:59pm ET. Savings are applied at checkout with code MUSTHAVE. Offer not valid on phone orders. Limit one promotional code per order. Details of offer are subject to change.
I have been eagerly waiting for this promotion in Sale (click here to shop online). Now let's hope J.Crew has some decent updates in the sale section. (So far so good too. This morning there were 950+ for women and 240+ for men.)

I am also happy this offer also extends to J.Crew's brick & mortar stores. (It's always a pain to see something in store and know you could pay less online because of an online only promotion.) My plan is to stop by at some point this week. :)

Will you be checking out the Sale section? Are there any items you are hoping to see or to get?

  1. I had some items in my cart over the weekend that were on promo, like the perfect-fit ribbon henley and slouchy dolman-sleeve sweatshirt, but they were bumped back to FP this morning so I'll be sitting this one out.

  2. Not much for me in the Sale section. I did get a puffer for my son though and am happy for the % off.

    If anyone sees the
    Matchstick jean in overdyed black denim in your store, can you let me know please! I have been waiting for a Size 26 to pop back but they never have. Happy Monday everyone!

  3. No thanks. Nothing in sale for me, not to mention that I do not need another thing! I am now strictly waiting for for an outerwear promo and than I am done.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I'm still waiting for items to arrive from the last sale.

    I notice there were some new items added that still have a good selection of sizes, I added them to my post here.

  5. Slim pickings and prices are better in store.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Nothing there this morning for me. Wonder if they'll do any more updates?

    Hm, now I might have to go to the store today, as I put a couple of the Jenna sweaters on hold. $40 - 30% is a nice price.

    BTW, they also had a ton of the enamel bangles on sale in store. Reason...they're sooo small! I have small hands and I couldn't get one of them on. So annoying -- did they not test these out?

    ReplyDelete
  7. shopwithm - I too tried on the enamel bracelets in the store a week ago and couldn't get them on. Kate Spade ones fit me fine (a little big even) and I have a 1" JC enamel one from a few years ago that fits fine. I really wanted the black and white one but no go here. I was able to get a 1" one on but almost couldn't get it off. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one!

  8. I did bite, and ordered the glitter pumps (starla ankle strap) and was shocked to see I got free shipping. I didn't see it mentioned in the promo detail box, or on my sign in page. But I'll take it! ;D

    ReplyDelete
  9. Well, my wrist is child size so the bangles might work for me. If my store has any left in a couple of weeks when I am able to go, will check them out......

    ReplyDelete
  10. not exactly the promo I had been hoping for since I still haven't figured out what size I am... :(

    ReplyDelete
  11. I am shopped out and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! Shopped the Saks pre-sale last week and Bloomingdales and Sephora F&F this weekend, now I need to rest or at least enjoy my purchases before I shop again :-).

    ReplyDelete
  12. Just hope they will be adding new items throughout the week. I did place an order on the cashemere boyfriend cardigan on the weekend and managed to get it on sale price.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I am absolutely shopped out! Wow the promos keep coming. I have everything tucked away for Christmas for my family and a large box of returns from the last promo... I'll be trying to avoid even looking so I am not tempted!

    ReplyDelete
  14. To highlight how much damage I've done at J. Crew with the two 25% off sales and now the MUSTHAVE (cashmere henley and Loxley buckle peep toes), I have earned more than $60 in cash back from ebates!

    All free shipping, too. Now, I'm only buying gifts from here on out!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'm with CrewGurl: I'm waiting for an outerwear promo and then I'm all set.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I just bought a couple sale items yesterday and have to go back to return 1 of the 3 items today, have people had luck with price adjustments when extra off kicks in the day after you make a purchase?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Weird. The shimmer skirt is listed as "final sale"

    (Yes, I'm still browsing, even after claiming "I'm done!")

    ReplyDelete
  18. If anyone is in a B&M and notices if the cafe capri crop in blackwatch plaid is on sale, can you please let me know? I love those pants, but not $138 worth ;)

    Thanks!
    Wendy

  19. I caved...fast, aren't I? :)

    Went ahead and ordered sale items: Summerweight chino short in plum and Boardwalk-stripe zipper tee.


    Non-sale items to try on (and possibly keep!):
    Tippi sweater in heather dark grape and funnelneck pullover in heather grey.


    Ordered all tops in XXS and just keeping my fingers crossed that everything fits!

    ReplyDelete
  20. uh oh...I ordered some of those bangles for Christmas gifts...now I'm worried. I have a medium wrist/hand and have found some bracelets really small, but a 2.5" bracelet fits me. Yikes, I hope they work!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Just checked the sale section and found nothing of interest, thank goodness! I am DONE except for holiday gifts and my ongoing search for the perfect white button-down. I ordered the Perfect French Cuff shirt on promo last week and it just didn't work. Thinner fabric than I wanted and the strangest teeny little lapels...back it goes. Will try Emersonmade next.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I think I've done enough damage during the 25% off promo, so I think I am done for now.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I bit, no major damage. I needed flats, and the satin flats looked so dainty. I'm a size 11 and it's SO hard to find my size in store (jcrew or anywhere). i also picked up the quorra sandals for next summer.
    I was waiting for the outerwear promo like so many others, but I had a sudden realization that my old black jcrew metro coat from 4 years ago was sitting in my parents house, in perfect condition. I think I'll update the buttons and not buy the academy or majesty coats I've been eyeing (OK, drooling over)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm considering the heart me sweater in the black/camel and the winter floral cardigan. Anyone order one of those yet? I just received a big shipment and was really disappointed. I ordered the cambridge cable v-neck in heather chartreuse and the color was washed out and the sweater was very itchy - nothing like the regular merino wool. I got the leopard glittens and the matching hat - wasn't crazy about the blend, the mitten were much cuter than the hat imo, but I'm not sure I'll keep them. I did love the leather gloves I ordered in celestial blue, I think they will add a great dose of color to my black winter outfits - plus I recently got a cobalt blue purse. Another sort of blah on me was the lady lace popover in grey. Pretty sweater, but it just didn't seem to "do" anything for me. Maybe since I'm a little large than many of the online models? Since I'm a medium working on baby weight.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Forgot to add that I already orderd the red glitter mona heels and the red glitterati flats -- could not resist the inner dorothy in me. And the wynter sweater in the cream and black sequin strip -- fingers crossed the material blend is nice and it looks cute on!

    ReplyDelete
  26. @leemiller: please let us know how the glitterati flats work out. i think they're adorable!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Sitting this one out, waiting for 2nd "STAYWARM" box to arrive today.

    Hubby tried on a coat this past weekend and it looks great on him. Now I'm waiting for a promo to include that coat!

    ReplyDelete
  28. My store is doing the 30%, but as final sale.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't know ... stilllllllll eyeing the lady lace popover in the champagne colorway but trying to sit it out until it comes down just a bit more.

    Does anyone have the Airy Wool Scarf in that pretty plum/green/yellow print? Wondering how it looks in person.

    We were down in Nags Head, NC this weekend so of course I had to pop into the Crewlet ... it was mobbed, and lots on sale / promo. I ended up only getting a pair of glittens, a pair of earrings to wear for xmas parties and a tee for my son, the one with Santa on the motorcycle.

    I just wasn't feeling anything at all. I felt like Nina on Project Runway when she says, "We've seen this before." Nothing stood out to me.

    I hope I'm not coming down with something, lol.

  30. OT: my flannel-lined Waverly chinos will be waiting on me when I get home today...so excited to see them! I will post a review as soon as I can.

    ReplyDelete
  31. OT, but I wanted to know if I would have any luck returning an item after the 30 day period? I've been deliberating between two sizes in the Scoopneck/Talia/Talitha blouse( you know the shirt with the identity crisis) and I've decided it just doesn't work for me. Can I get at least a store credit or should I just go ahead and post on Ebay?

    ReplyDelete
  32. AppGal -- my flannel Waverlys should be here tomorrow, very excited to hear what you think!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Appgal, I too am excited to hear your opinion on flannel lined Waverlys, I am waiting for mine as well.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Pam, it's worth a try to return. The employees in the stores have a way to override final sales for returns. They've done it for me. I just try not to do it very often, and they know me since I am in there pretty often. Good luck! PS This is also one advantage to having an online personal shopper. They can add a note to your order that it is ok for return.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I saw nothing in the SALE section (thank goodness). I am just starting to receive my 25% promotion items.
    However, I really think the Red Glitter Mona pump is killer for the holidays. Has anyone actually received them and if so, is there a way to prevent the glitter from dropping off? I purchased from a few seasons back, the gold glitter ballet. I love them for the holidays but nothing is worse than leaving a trail of glitter behind...

    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I purchased the Paisley Blouson dress which doesn't seem to show up online for $65 with NYC tax after the 30% discount!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Shariyu,

    I have the lulu ballet flats in the glitter and have come to terms with the fairy dust that flies behind me - I almost think it is romantic now!

    ReplyDelete
  38. The enamel bangles work for my wrists....I've got 4 of them so I guess I managed to get them on. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Alright y'all...the Wavery flannel-lined chino review is up here. I'm on the fence about them, so help me decide!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Well dag, yo...the reason I was on the fence about them was because I was SENT THE WRONG SIZE. Good gracious...well go see the review anyway :) I will make a better review when the right size comes in!

    ReplyDelete
  41. OT, I received my 25% off order. I still love the flare jeans and the black fit in the same size as the jezebel. Of course, even though I ordered the short, I still have to get them hemmed. :) Also received the ribbed tights in heather acorn and I like them, but they are slightly darker than pictured online. And finally, I got the #2 pencil in neon azalea and it is quite bright. I would say it's the color of a florescent pink marker (the actual marker, not the neon highlight). Hope that makes sense. I do love it, but it is much brighter than it looks on my screen. It also fits the same as my past year's #2 skirts.

    As for sale, I can't order. If my b&m still has the purple jenna cardi this Saturday (maybe I should call my PS and have him hold one?), I'll probably pick it up. Wish my store had it in ivory.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I stopped by today and did not see much of interest. Almost bought a sparkly gold belt, but got nervous it would shed glitter!

    Does anyone know what sizing is like for the metallic foil jacquard top? I have the silk polka dot navy top in a size 6.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I had a sale item in my cart last night and then today they went back to full price. So, screw this sale! How can they do that? It just seems kind of sneaky.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Wendy, Blackwatch capris not on sale yet. Markdowns on Tuesday night so hoping for this week. I'm waiting as well. Have you tried the factory blackwatch pants? I highly recommend. They are lovely. Worn mine twice already and I am not really a pants girl.

    ReplyDelete
  45. @ Caroline

    The Metallic Foil Jacquard top fits very similarly to the polka dot top. I found my usual size fit well if a little blousey in both and that if I sized down they were too tight in the hips and back

    I reviewed it on my blog here

    ReplyDelete
  46. BonnieMc,
    Thanks so much for the update on the pants :) I haven't ordered the Factory blackwatch, although I love the look...I am just under 6' tall, so the 32.5" inseam has me worried. I chatted with CS online today, and they said most pairs should have around 1.5" under the hem that could be let out. I am debating... Will post on here if I find out the cafe capris have dropped in price.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wendy, My pants have exactly 1.5 inch hem so the most they could be taken out is probably 1 inch. Hope that helps.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I bit ... Was waiting for quite a few sale items. Ended up with always wrap cardigan in all three colors. Also picked up the Hayward trousers Pinstripe Italian wool in grey. That's all for now. I have ordered so much in the last few weeks lol I am shocked at the amount of promos I crew has had.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Got the silk Lucinda blouse for $24 and a patterned dress for $27...deals are much better in stores!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I got my 25% off promo items today as well. I am in the "love" camp for the thermals, I sized up to a medium and they are thick and very comfy. The sterling skirt was also lovely, I sized up from a 4 to a 6 like I have done this season with the flair skirt and the gimlet skirt. I also really liked the clea dress, my regular sized 4 fit very nicely. The dress has a chic '40s feel. The big disappointment was the sequin stripe sweater, the sizing seemed completely off. I ordered my usual small, and it was tiny! I feel like I would need a large to get the relaxed, over a button down look they show on the model.

    Trying hard to be good now and not order the many other items I am loving right now. I have done enough damage!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I saw the cafe capri in houndstooth in 00, 0 and 8. Email me if you want the store info.

  52. Can someone confirm it is FINAL SALE with the extra 30% off in stores? I was hoping to grab some gifts but not buying any if it is final sale.

    ReplyDelete
  53. shopalot - it's final sale in-stores

    ReplyDelete
  54. Does anyone know if there will be new markdowns happening tonight? I'm deciding whether or not to stop by my store this afternoon or tomorrow afternoon. Thanks in advance! I appreciate it! :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Thanks, Gigi.
    Big BOO to final sale.

  57. Snagged some cashmere this morning with the update. Purchased the vibrant flame isabel and the plum crewneck long sleeved sweaters. Also, re-purchased the buckle heels in toasted honey for about 20 bucks cheaper than I originally paid. I am so sick of re-purchasing items, my bf thinks I keep all of these things even though I don't :(

    ReplyDelete
  58. Went to the Rock Center store this morning. The flair skirt in heather acorn is $69.99 before discount as it is the printed roses one. The calf hair leopard belt in grey is $39.99 and the small enamail bangles with small wrist syndrome are $12.99. 30% off makes it final sale thought.
    I returned a Teddie dress in the saddle in a size 0, they might still have it if anyone is interested. HTH!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I forgot to mention that the Paisley blouson dress is still $89.99.

    ReplyDelete
  60. J. Crew in Cambridge, MA has some solid stuff. Jenna Cardigan for 39.99 + 30% off. Student discounts can be tacked on too - final price was 23. Got the one in vibrant flame.

    Minnetonka fringe booties was 49.99 + 30% off.

    Lots of cardigans, skirts, and flats as far as I can tell.

    Good luck!
