Weekly Share: Other JCrew-like Retailers

This is the weekly "Other JCrew-like Retailers" post (similar to the "Off On A Tangent" posts), where we can share our finds from other retailers that have offerings similar to J.Crew (like Anthropologie, LE Canvas, Gap, BR, Talbots, Ann Taylor, and the like.)

If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.

Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.

  6. Careful if you decide to order from Talbots - according to the posts on their FB page, inventory/fulfillment has been a nightmare with all the promos they've been offering lately.

  7. silver_lining, yeah, I had an item cancelled from my order last week. It has happened to me many times, unfortunately. But I don't really mind because did I really need that top anyway? No. I have this dress coming to me this week... hope it is as lovely as it looks! I love some of Talbots' stuff online but usually when I receive it I am disappointed.

  8. Land's End canvas has $25 cords today, and free shipping with code TWINKLE and pin 5202. I am very temped by the skinny cords... so much more affordable than J.Crew at this price!

  12. Can anyone tell me about the quality of Talbots' cashmere? I am contemplating a few pieces during this promo but are they as thin and prone to pilling and holes as the J Crew cashmere? TIA!

  15. I stopped in Banana Republic for a minute on my way home yesterday. There was a display of color block tees and some really cute bright colored enamel jewelry near the door. I checked online today and I don't see the jewelry. Either it's sold out online or it's in-store only.

  16. Robin, I bought several of the Talbots cashmere sweaters on promo last year for $25 and the quality is surprisingly good , especially at that price.
