As you’ll come to learn, I am a very big fan of the J.Crew brand.  As I stated in my ‘About Me’ page, my affinity for high-end, luxury items is hindered by my realistic budget thus, I often find myself simply browsing through the new items displayed before leaving the store empty-handed.  This is not to say that I posses no garments from J.Crew.  Au contraire, my closet is sprinkled with beautiful pieces I’ve collected from J.Crew over the years and I have been able to do so by strategically shopping the sale section and taking advantage of every sale opportunity.  This post will exemplify how I’m able to add such stylish, timeless and chic items to my closet without breaking the bank.

Psst…lean in for a little secret.  J.Crew takes an additional 15% off their full priced and sale items for students which adds to the amazing savings!
