This tale might be slightly exaggerated.
I heard about the Jcrew Warehouse sale last week on RichmondBargains.com. I knew it would be madness. And when one of my BFF’s/running partner, Emily C asked me if I wanted to go… I knew I’d be a part of said madness.
We took off in Emily’s batmobile Honda and approached the building with caution. We stepped out of the vehicle wearing our uniform of thin clothes and slip-off shoes to be able to discreetly try clothes on… since you’re not supposed to (um, lame rule!). We did some push ups to warm our arms up knowing that we’d be digging through mountains of clothing. Once we were adequately warmed up, we stepped through the doors like we were explorers about to claim their new land.
Only… the “land” that we were about to “claim” was already claimed by about 150 women raging through the hundreds of boxes of loot like a bunch of barbaric lunatics. We knew we’d fit right in.
We were each handed a plastic bag that could easily hold a few miniature horses as well as a printed out price chart. Then we began digging. There were rows and rows of boxes on top of plastic rectangular tables jammed with apparel.
It was messy. Nothing organized. Everything thrown. Everywhere. But… we managed to find a few GREAT gems to put in our oversized swag-bag.
For a teensy bit over $50, I bought:
This work dress. ($20)
This sleeveless blouse. (Still trying to figure out a way to cinch it in a bit more since it’s a litte loose). Love the color. ($8)
This sleeveless denim extra long shirt. All it needed was a thick belt and skinny jeans. Viola! ($15)
This bikini. OMG I can’t believe I did a kini pic and posted it… it was kind of scary, haha. Anyways. I think this color will look really great when I have a tan. The bottoms are a little big/thicker banded than what I normally get, but still oober cute. ($3/piece)
All while this insanity occurred… the men’s area had about 6 guys sorting quietly and peacefully. In fact, I witnessed stacks of clothing in their section that were still folded.
We claimed. We dug. We plundered.
Id say it but there’s no need to, I survived that mayhem as welll
I’m impressed the insanity didn’t stop you!! But at least the men’s section was significantly calmer – hopefully that was the case when you went. Did you find any good deals?
Got a cashmere sweater for 10 bucks and some dress slacks for 5, so yeah got a couple good deals. You ladies on the other hand were about to throw down for bikini tops and bottoms pretty entertaining to see glad you escaped unharmed.
Dress slacks for 5 bucks?! Yea, I’d say you made out like a bandit.
