I Slipped; I Shopped

I crumbled. I saw a blog post about shopping J Crew Factory's final sale today. I caved. I looked. I shopped. Good news is that I have a credit for a Christmas items that ended up being too small; so that helps, right?!

Don't forget, code MOREPLEASE gets you an additional 40% off final sale items (although I found this isn't true because the code worked on three of the items I ordered and they're eligible for returns!); plus 3 % back via ebates.com.

Besides, all of the items (besides the skirt), I will wear for both work and fun. Here's what I bought:

Factory Printed Draped Shift Dress
Price paid: $29.99 (originally: $138)
Size: I ordered a size 4 and a size 6.  This item is eligible for returns.  Since it's such a great price, I figured why risk ordering one size to possibly have it not work out and then regret not ordering the other.  Plus this put my order over $100 for free shipping :O)
Eligible for return
 
Factory Charley Sweater
Price paid: $11.99 (originally: $49.50)
Size: Medium (I figured this is safe if I want to layer with a blouse underneath)
Colors: Fiesta Purple and  Vibrant Coral
Eligible for return
 
 
Factory Tissue Turtleneck
Price paid: $5.99 (originally $32.50)
Size: Medium (room for shrinkage)
*Similar available for $9.99 at regular J Crew
Color: Navy (I originally thought it was black, but I could use a navy turtleneck too)
Final sale
 
Factory Pencil Skirt in Double-Serge Wool
Price paid: $23.99 (originally $89.50)
Size: 4 (I already own this in the mustard/Bright Cumin; which is now sold out)
Color: Viridian Green
Final sale
 
For any math nerds, like myself, I paid just 23% of the original retail value of these items! Now that's a steal!

  1. I totally just bought those two sweaters and one other one. Grand total with tax and shipping was $53. And I had made returns so technically it was free and I still have $30 left on my gift card. Thanks so much for the heads up!

    1. It's too good to pass up, isn't?! After I return the wrong-sized dress and used my credit; I'll only pay $51, which is an amazing deal for a dress, skirt, 2 sweaters and turtlneck! Glad you found something!
