Checking in with J.Crew…

J.Crew seems to be having so much fun this holiday season and it’s hard not to get caught up in that uplifting holiday shopping spirit! Promo after promo helps too of course. Right now J.Crew cardholders get a special perk: 40% off the best gifts ever (according to J.Crew), 30% off everything else, and an extra 50% off sale.

What’s this promo tempting me with? The answers, inside…

Jackets of various weights are on promo today. Here, the Buffalo Check Shirt Jacket ($118 + 40% off).

In the outerwear section, several appealing jackets are on promo. Besides the Buffalo Check Shirt Jacket ($118+ 40% off) above, the Icon Trench Coat in Italian Wool Cashmere ($345-$365 + 40% off) and my perennial favorite the Double-Cloth Lady Day Coat with Thinsulate ($365 + 40% off) are easy winning picks.

But have you seen J.Crew’s cute and cozy sweaters?

Ahhhhhh, cashmere. I own last years version of the Italian Cashmere Boatneck Tunic ($248 + 40% off) and wear it all the time on these colder days, usually over a mini skirt, tights and booties. The Italian Cashmere Classic V-neck Sweater ($198 + 40% off) is another favorite year after year (and this year the quality seems much better than the last two) and there’s my new favorite Italian Cashmere Waffle Sweater with Buttons ($268 + 40% off) which keeps popping back in various sizes and colors.

Then of course there is the extra cuteness of J.Crew’s sweater sets like the Cotton Jackie Cardigan Sweater in Dot ($75 + 40% off) and its coordinating Cotton Jackie Shell in Dot ($53 + 40% off), which together are too adorable and wearable for words. Other instant classics are the Striped V-Neck Sweater in Cotton-Merino Wool ($80 + 40% off) which has a comfy weekend shape and the Perfect-Fit Mixed-Tape Cardigan Sweater ($50 + 40% off) which can be thrown over any dress for a complete look, and has been a closet staple of mine going on 4 years now.

J.Crew is no slouch in the fair isle game either. The Holly Sweater in Fair Isle ($80 + 40% off) works beautifully with the Italian Wool-Blend Striped Hat ($45 + 40% off) and Striped Glittens ($33 + 40% off) in pink to bring out the pink tones of the sweater! The Tippi Sweater in Festive Fair Isle ($90 + 40% off) and Houndstooth ($90 + 40% off) are also gorgeous sweater options.

Over in accessories land, these gorgeous Suede Lace-Up Flats (now $160 + 40% off) are calling my name, and I’m equally adoring the Colette D’Orsay Pumps in Leopard Calf Hair ($378 + 40% off), the Mini Rider Bag in Italian Calf Hair ($198 + 40% off) and the Collection Tote in RattiĀ® Italian Silk ($198 + 40% off).

And should all else fail, you can never go wrong with a classic shirt like the Tuxedo Shirt with Ruffles ($88 + 40% off) or the Silk Pocket Blouse ($138 + 40% off).

It’s time to put that J.Crew Credit Card to good use with this lovely perk day! (And then pay it off entirely so there’s no interest accrued.) Have you been gift shopping heavily at J.Crew too? What’s been good for you?
