J.Crew Final Sale Keepers


Airy Wool Scarf, also watch for the Ashbury Wool Scarf

These are the regret-free goodies that I've added to my closet from J.Crew's final sale section. Some were on my wish list, but sold out. So then I waited patiently for those to show up again. For the others, I waited for an extra discount, like their current 30% off promotion with code MUSTHAVE.


Face Nail Polish (3 pack) , also came in a single size.


Schoolboy blazer in velvet here (size 4T in this one for me). I can't believe I waited so long to own it in this color! Even though it's velvet, I see myself wearing it from September through late March. Oh, and nothing revives velvet and removes creases like a quick steam with a handheld steamer.


Isla suede platform heels here for spring. Fit is TTS for me, and heel strap doesn't slip down.


Fanfare jacket in felted wool (size 4 for me), same style as the Fanfare jacket in peacock tweed here.
Blouson dress in polka dot here (size 2 or 4 works for me depending on how much 'blouson' I want),
also comes in stripe, and the Royal Paisley dress here.


Tissue turtleneck tee - here (XS works better than small for me when I'm layering under a jacket or sweater). This is an essential piece for winter layering IMHO. Lulu Frost for J.Crew pendant.

I have 2 basic rules for shopping final sale and they've saved me from the headache of unwanted items.

1. I only buy clothes that I've had a chance to try on before they hit final sale or,
2. I call customer service for measurements and compare to similar styles that I already own.

  5. Hi maryeb! Fit on the Schoolboy in velvet is almost the same as last year's version. Shoulders are cut just a touch wider, so it's even more comfortable IMO. I prefer a snug fit in this style so there's just enough room to layer it over a tissue turtleneck. I took a 4 in both versions (last year's and this year).

  6. I'd love to get your ideas on how you will be styling the Wildcat scarf! I have it also, and thought it would be very easy to work into my wardrobe, but there is a lot of fabric there...it tends to overwhelm, and I am having trouble being creative with it!
