Why this hallmark of the retail world keeps racking up sales even in a down economy.
J.Crew’s enduring, classic style needs a facelift every once in a while. I guess that’s why they decided to redo their web site. I had to try twice to enter the site. Once I got on, certain pages displayed error messages when I tried to load them. I guess every new site is going to have to work out the kinks.
Before I headed to the "clearance" area, I clicked on "new arrivals." A pair of multi-colored beaded sandals caught my eye (Corossol Jeweled Sandals.) The turquoise, brown and yellow stone accents were striking. But as soon as I saw the price, $325, I decided to just go straight to the clearance section. Before I even got on the page, a banner informed me that all prices are final and no exchanges or returns will be taken. Oooh, these prices must be good. And they were. I found a lot of orange, lime green and metallic colors on shorts and tops along with more classic muted tones. But what was missing were the sizes. So if you want to take advantage of this sale, get there fast, because I’m sure the pickin’s will soon be pretty slim.
