I went to a nearby J Crew today and tried some things on. The dressing rooms actually have a switch where you can change the lighting in the room so you can see what your outfit will look like at night or during the day. I just thought that was really cool. I wonder if it has been like that for a while. It isn't really easy to notice.
I was just in the JCREW dressing room yesterday and noticed the same thing... I was thinking the exact same thing..."have they always had this and I just didn't notice it?". Anyway, I agree it is a cool idea. I must admit, I like how I look in the NIGHT lighting much better!
I also like that they are doing the whole "would you like a soda or some water" in the dressing room now. Maybe they have always done this in some JCREWs, but in the JCREWs where I lived previously, they didn't offer this service.
whoa, that's so cool! i just went to j. crew last friday and didn't notice the special lighting options. if you're in the market for a cardigan, their featherweight cardigan is so soft and comfortable, and a good weight for cooler summer days.
Are they doing that at the outlet ones too? I don't have a regular J Crew store near me. If I was being served something to drink, I may feel more obligated to purchase something!
Not sure if they are doing drinks in outlet, but I would guess not. When I lived in KC I was never offered a drink, but I was in a very nice shopping center in Atlanta, so maybe it is just that specific J Crew. Dunno... I DID have a huge amount of clothing in the dressing room with me... so maybe that was it (I didn't buy anything though!).
On another note, I agree about the feather weight cardigans. They are sooooooooo soft and the perfect "summer/spring" sweater.
