Reason #30

April 19, 2012

I’ve never bought anything from J.Crew.  Not because their clothing isn’t cute or anything – it totally is…it’s because I can’t see myself spending $60 or more on a sweater (I’m way past that stage in my life…I like my paycheck, thank you, even if it’s only a teacher’s salary).

This sweater I’m wearing…J. Crew.  Featherweight cotton.  Neon Green.  Thrifted.

    Cute! I love when I find J Crew stuff at the thrift store! Although most of the time it’s a size 2 or something tiny:(

      Isn’t that always the case though…find something cute, but it’s the wrong size! One of the downsides of thrifting!

    LOVE this sweater!! That is an awesome find! I’m with you – a sale to me equates to 50% at Goodwill, where everything is ~ $2!!

      Oh, I know! I usually go to the thrift stores on their sale days!

    Love love love that sweater! Totally wouldn’t shell out the regular price but would be totally elated to find that at the thrift store. Makes the entire outfit so springy.

    Totally. I never buy J.Crew either for the same reason. I saw on a blog recently that every (I think?) Friday, they have a J.Crew factory sale online, where stuff is super cheap. I ended up getting a gingham shirt, two T-shirts, and a tank top for around $50! I was pretty psyched.

      Good to know!! Thanks for passing that info along…I can handle factory sales ; )

    Yup. I totally get you. It’s hard to pay full-price for clothes when I know I can find terrific, high quality stuff at the thrift stores for so much less!

    That’s why youy can’t beat thrifting. I have so many pieces I otherwise could never afford. Christian Dior retail? Yeah right! Anyways, love that bright fresh green.
