Student Discounts!

Long time no blog! I was so busy this past week with school, as it was the last week before spring break. My spring break started yesterday and I'm so relieved to have a break. However, my "break" will still be filled with homework. As nerdy as it may be, I'm kind of excited to be able to work on my assignments without any more being thrown my way. 

Spring break isn't the only perk of being a college student. I may be biased but I think student discounts are. If I know I can save money by showing my student ID, I am much more inclined to shop there! Here are some of my favorite places to get discounts!

J. Crew and J. Crew Factory: 15% 

I've used this discount the most, especially at the factory store. Who doesn't want to save money at J.Crew?! Tip: they let you stack discounts!!!! When I went there a few weeks ago, select items were up to 50% off, and then everything was an additional 10% off. Instead of giving me the extra 10% off, they gave me 15% for my discount. But with the discounts and my student ID, I ended up saving $285! and spending $217.

Madewell: 15%

J. Crew's sister store also offers the same discount! I've only bought a few bracelets in there but getting a discount was definitely a nice surprise!

LOFT: 15%

I love LOFT and they always have amazing sales! I can't remember if they let you stack discounts...(like when everything is 40% off and then you get the student discount as well)
Jo-ann Fabrics: 10%
This is perfect for when I want to get my craft on! Or want to go buy every seasonal cupcake liner in sight...

Keep in mind that this is not a "master list" of all the student discounts available, these are just my favorites! When I created this blog, I knew I wanted to share things I was passionate about, not just whatever I could find to write about! My mantra has always been quality over quantity. 

I think that mantra applies to these stores, especially! You could walk into Forever21 and buy a bunch of clothes for super cheap, but the quality is also super cheap. J. Crew, Madewell and Loft all produce clothes that are of amazing quality and they are mostly classic pieces. While these clothes may be more expensive, they are classic and will last a long time. All the more reason to take advantage of student discounts!
