Sifting Through The Early October Sales

The October sales are on! 40% off this boiled wool topcoat in camel. Details at une femme d'un certain age.

If Your Fall Wardrobe Could Use A Boost…

There are a lot of major sales on now through the weekend, so I wanted to share a few things that caught my attention.

J.Crew is offering 40% off your purchase (including sale items, though there are some exclusions). Use code BIGSALE. That boiled wool top coat (above) is unlined and would be a perfect winter coat for those of us who live in milder climates. I like the camel and moss for neutral colors, but have to admit the pink is really fun.

J.Crew cameron pants burgundy. Details at une femme d'un certain age.

Everyone’s favorite Cameron pants are part of the promotion, including this fabulous Burgundy color.

J.Crew velvet blazer rose leopard. Details at une femme d'un certain age.

I’ll be featuring this velvet leopard blazer in an outfit post soon, but didn’t want you to miss out on the opportunity to get it for 40% off. If leopard print is just a bridge too far for you, there’s solid velvet blazer also included in the promotion. (That one is also offered in Petite and Tall sizes.)

Moving on…

Neiman Marcus has 25% off a large selection of items with code CHICWEEK, including lots of Eileen Fisher. This snap-front merino cardigan has Travel Wardrobe Potential, and I love the Pine color! (Petite / Plus)

  1. I love the camel colored wool coat. Ankle boots and open cardigan sweaters are on my list of new items for my fall/winter wardrobe.

  2. J Crew is not easily available in my home country so I was excited to visit during a recent stay in NYC.

    In two branches I chose an item costing about $50. In both cases, I left empty-handed after standing for 7-10 minutes in a long queue at the single manned payment point. Other staff were on the floor and didn’t seem the slightest bit bothered.

    Is this standard in J Crew – in other stores, staff couldn’t have been nicer. The company lost my $50 (twice). If 10 people a week do the same as me, a store loses a sales assistant’s annual salary.

    1. That’s not been my experience in the stores. I occasionally have to wait for one or two people ahead of me, but often they’ll open another register if there are more people waiting.

      It’s a shame that your experience was a negative one after looking forward to it. If I were a store manager, that would be feedback I’d want to know. You may want to write to them if you feel inclined.

      1. Thanks Susan. Yes, I’m writing to the store. Not only is it annoying for customers, I think it must be difficult for sales staff if they can’t assist customers promptly.

  3. That pine colour does look beautiful (I love dark green, veering slightly to blue) but it is hard to see the colour precisely on a small computer screen – there is a very short space between a lovely cool green and the nasty teal that infested everything some years ago, along with other harsh ‘jewel colours’.

  4. Wow, thanks so much, I received 25% off a pair of boots I purchased from Rag and Bone based on your email. I bought the boots also based on your recommendation (I think). I bought them last week but saw the sale and contacted them. They refunded me the difference which was very nice of them!
