Pompoms, lace embroidery, AND pintucks? Some might say overkill on the embellishments. I say, let’s do this. If you’re looking for me at the beach this summer, I’ll be the extra pretty one in the tunic.
It came in like a lion; now shoo winter out with an elegantly holey tunic, hand-spun, hand-dyed, and hand-knit from locally harvested sheep’s wool.
Here’s the thing about J. Crew’s sales: they’re pretty much always happening, so you never have to worry about missing one, a la Nordstrom’s semi-annual sell-offs; they’re usually accompanied by some sort of coupon, either for free shipping or an additional percentage off, which can be be tracked down at J.Crew Aficionada; and the sale section of their website is guaranteed to behave badly, which means non-sale/kids/men’s items will be filtered in with the women’s sale stuff, and half of the sale stock will be, well, out of stock.
I shopped the sale for us today, and because of the overwhelming amount of merchandise, I limited my price range to under $100, which led me to my beloved Quinn Cami, Matchstick Cords, and even some stuff for the guys. And although I made a big effort to select items that had at least two sizes in stock, things can change quickly (see above), so make your purchase fast.
Long story short: it’s an ongoing, deeply discounted treasure hunt. To the patient, nimble-fingered, and eagle-eyed go the spoils.
