Recently, I got a chance to go to a J Crew Warehouse sale. They did have some amazing bargains there like a nice looking Panama Hat for a dollar which was tagged at 58. They also had a cashmere sweater for 10.00. Most of their shoes were not good values, but other items were. It reminded me of a factory store called Frugal Frannies I used to go to in Northern Virginia..Have you ever gone to a warehouse sale?
I'm also a fan of the JCrew outlet. It depends on the time of year. Sometimes I think they have great sales and promotions going on and other times I find the prices to not be outlet prices. I've also gotten sweaters for under $15 and jewelry and accessories for a few dollars. Especially when they are off season.
