Of course you know by now that J Crew has an extra 30% off their final sale section. If you spend $150 or more (can be a mix of regular & sale), you will also get free shipping. The code is EXTRA30 and today is the last day.
If you’re shopping final sale, check out the most recent comprehensive final sale list. If you don’t see a review for an item you’re looking for you can do a keyword search on this blog and also try visiting The Mothership to ask about an item in a thread.
When I am certain I want to buy something during the % off fs sales at J Crew, I sometimes feel a lot of pressure to snag popbacks and other things that will sell out in a heartbeat. In the process I end up missing other things, such as the . So I’m going to link up to some items and add some comments. I hope to help you discover something you haven’t seen or make a decision about something you’ve been eyeing. Any prices listed are before the additional 30% off.
Basics – Just the facts, ma’am.
* Cambridge cable v-neck sweater ($29.99) – L & XL only
* Perfect-fit long-sleeve V-neck tee ($9.99 and up)
* Silk-linen V-neck sweater ($34.99) – I have and me likey. See last year’s version on Heidi. Prepare for thinness on this lightweight number. Good for summer. I ordered size S (34C). Here are some measurements:
XS – chest 31″, length 24.5″
SM – chest 33″, length 25″
M – chest 35″, length 25.5″
* Slim stretch shirt (petite) – One of J Crew’s staple basics.
* Slim stretch shirt (regular) – I buy regular size S in these. Loveth.
* Washed silk pocket tee ($29.99) – M – XL remain. XLs are lucky as all colors (incl redwood!) are still available.
Luxuries – Anything with shine, glitz, bows, etc…
* Crystal supernova bracelet
* Beach chambray ruffled vest ($49.99)
* Cashmere plissé cardigan ($139.99)
* Crystal cascade ribbon necklace ($29.99) – Looks very pretty w/pink and orange cardis. Should also pop quite nicely against a navy cardi.
* Crystal confetti bracelet ($49.99)
* Crystal devoté cocktail ring ($19.99)
* Duchess stone ring ($49.50)
* Faceted glaçon bracelet – The stones are a more petite size for those that don’t like them too big.
* Faceted glaçon necklace – The antique violet is doin’ somethin’.
* Facets and fringe necklace ($49.99) – Remove that ‘fringe’ and we might have a winner with the pretty small and larger stones.
* Flouncy flowers scoopneck tee ($29.50)
* Jardin metallic capri sandals ($59.99)
* Pleated flower vine tank ($39.99)
* Silk bonfire dress ($69.99) – The neckline is adjustable like on the silk twill pleated halter.
* Tissue garland tank ($29.99) – review here
For your fella: Clean fleece full-zip hoodie – The last hoodie G Money got was a gray one they had on promo for $12 at ON. I don’t like the way it hangs. I will be replacing that one w/this blue one. I hope he will let go of the ugly one.
If you’ve tried any of these or want to plug love for something else, feel free.
Chime in…

What do you think of the cashmere plisse cardi? Have you seen it in person? I am thinking of making the plunge and purchasing it without trying it on first, this has not always worked out for final sale items:(
hi–did you do a review on the silk/linen v neck cardigan, by chance? it's on sale, with the 30%, and it looks tempting!!
Tara – The plisse looks very pretty. I thought it might be a winner. Looks like it's selling out. I haven't seen it in person. It's online/catalog only. There have been a lot of complaints about J Crew cashmere. I've been happy w/the pieces I have. I don't wear any of them daily, though or even twice in a week.
mrs.anketel – I thought I did a review of the silk linen vneck, but I didn't. I just looked for mine, but it's not handy. I have a rust/sepia color from last summer. I am pretty sure I got a small. I ordered a S on this promo in the ivory. It might be a little sheer & I may need to wear a tank underneath, which I won't mind. I think it will be pretty & lightweight for summer. $24.49? Had to do it.
mrs.anketell – Heidi has a pic & review of the silk linen vneck in this post.
Steer clear of the Supernova jewelry items. They look and feel like cheap-y toy things. They are not at all like the Libretto and Symphony items.
