J Crew has got to be one of my top places to shop. It’s adorable, yet can still be quirky and is incredibly fashion-forward.
But here’s the problem: it is insanely expensive.
Take their famous chino shorts for example, they are only 3″ (so definitely not “school appropriate” for high school kids and really not flattering on those thighs that need a little more gym time) and yet they are $45. Not to mention whatever the tax is.
J Crew does have their famous “warehouse” sales to look forward to… where everything from ballet flats to wedding gowns are thrown into this big empty building and sold for next to nothing (Last year’s awesome purchase: a white quarter-sleeve lace shirt for only $4). But these only happen maybe twice a year, if we’re lucky. Unless of course you live in Lynchburg, Virginia, the home of their largest warehouse and countless sale opportunities, we must rely on online shopping.
Well not just online shopping, although I do love it…
sign up for the emails J Crew sends out, as well as their factory website. They are always offering sale opportunities, and even if it is not the best sale, there is always another one around the corner that may not be advertised in the store itself. But with email it is written down and you can use paypal to pay via their online site!
Those chino shorts sure look a lot better in the 4″.. and when they are only $20…
