I am a jcrew afacionado. I have to be dead honest here, I NEVER buy anything from jcrew that is not on sale. What I try to do is whenever I catch some good deal at the South Park store, which doesn't happen as often anymore because the prices at j crew seems to keep going up!! But when I do and can't get enough, I come to this northlake location and do a round 2. This store is less staffed than the south park store and gets less traffic. The staff here also seems to be younger and less knowledgeable than the south park location, but hey, i know my j crew, i don't care about having the staff to sugar coat everything for me.
I am also a graduate student, so I get extra 15% off (as long as you have some type of student ID they will take it, and even if you forgot your ID card, you can ask for it and see if they'll give it to you). Don't let them fool you on no student discount on sale items, I was fooled a couple times at the south park location!!
