J.Crew Factory sale: Canvas Cat Sneakers
Like you, I'm a fan of sales. I'm also a fan of of J.Crew -- especially for kids' clothing, because it's always the perfect blend of well-made and "I wonder if they have that in my size." So when I saw that everything on the J.Crew Factory site is on sale, at this very moment, for 40% to 60% off, well. It's safe to say I'm stocking up. From wear-them-now tees and sweatshirts to wear-them-later puffer jackets and boots, there are tons of great fall options for kids' closets (like the fantastic kitty canvas sneakers above) -- and, ahem, for yours too. But put these selections in your cart ASAP, because the sale ends soon. Like, today soon. CMP is an rstyle affiliate

J.Crew Factory sale: Ruffle Hem T-shirtThis ruffle hem tee is exactly why I love J.Crew for kids. It looks a little bit more special than the usual, everyday cotton tee, but it's just as comfy and just as easy to wear. And it's also just $20.50. J.Crew Factory sale: Emoji Pendant Necklace This emoji pendant necklace ($10) is pretty enough as it is -- if you zoom in, you can see it's glittery resin, so it's got a lovely sparkle -- but it would be a sweet thing for any kid with back-to-school anxiety to have with them during the day. J.Crew Factory sale: Bomber JacketThis bomber jacket is cotton, making it exactly the right weight for the warmer and colder parts of fall. So it's an awesome everyday jacket (and awesomely priced at $51, down from $85). J.Crew Factory sale: Contrast Pocket T-shirtYou can never, ever have too many long-sleeved tees for the fall, so these soft contrast pocket t-shirts ($16.50) are super smart buys. J.Crew Factory sale: Camo Robot Trouser SocksYou can also never, ever have too many pairs of socks. And you could definitely mix and match the picks in this $7.50 three-pack of socks on especially hectic mornings and make it look like you meant to do that. Get 40% off new arrivals and 60% off everything else at the J.Crew Factory sale, on through August 27.
