Playing the Sale guessing game


Ah, it’s Monday night and you know what that means — time to guess which items will go on sale tomorrow. This week should be a home-only week… that won’t stop me from hoping for clothes anyway. Not for nothing Anthro but could we maybe see the Cirrus Bedding Collection ($48-$208) or the Bella Hothouse Bedding in Lime ($58-$268) on sale? Please? Can’t say for sure which items will and won’t make it so I thought it would be fun to take some educated guesses. This post is no guarantee that any of these items will actually be on sale come tomorrow. What are you hoping to see? What do you think will/won’t go on sale?

About due for a shuffle to sale.

    The Night Blooming Dress is absolutely darling!

    I am soooo doing the sale dance for the Beribboned Buds Cardigan and the Free Flow Tank. Is there any chance?My sister is also holding out hope for the Night Blooming dress!*fingers crossed!*

    On the Gumshoe sweatercoat, I know, seriously? I don't want to be wearing it in July!I am hoping so hard for the Estuary lampshade to go on sale so I can snag it! I've been eyeing it forever.

    Would love for the tempting trellis cardigan and the gumshoe sweatercoat to go on sale! I bought both a few days ago and a price adjustment would make me smile 🙂

  6. January 25, 2010 / 9:42 pm

    That's why I'm rooting for the Beribboned and Free Flow, Lindsey.Elizabeth!Fingers crossed for both of us!

  7. January 25, 2010 / 9:45 pm

    if either the Night Blooming Dress or In a Moment Dress go on sale, I will be hard pressed to resist.

    I'm holding my breath for some 2nd cuts – Laced Roses Cardigan in particular. I picked it up this weekend – hadn't seen it in the sale section in ages! If, like me, you were a little sad you missed it, The Grove location in Los Angeles had several.

  9. January 25, 2010 / 9:48 pm

    Kathleen – I can't see the Free Flow Tank or Beribboned Buds cardi going on sale just yet – they're brand new arrivals, especially the Free Flow Tank :-)I noticed that the Gumshoe Sweatercoat just got restocked in all colors at the stores by me, but i know they do this sometimes right before an item goes on sale (Verite Dress, anyone), so fingers crossed!

    If the Night Blooming Dress goes on sale, I'd really consider it. That would justify the cost of a tailor to take in the top for me.I hope Anthro releases a new line of bedding for Spring. I have the Wisteria Duvet from 2007 that I love to pieces, and would like something similar and lovely. I love the mint green.I absolutely loved the Waterloo Quilt, but I waited too long, and it soldout quickly once it went on sale. That's probably my one regret from Anthro of 2009. Boo.

    I would love the Night Blooming dress and the Vines & Buds cardigan. Of course, I just spent so much during the last sale that I really should put a moratorium on spending.BTW, I love these lists. They almost always consist of stuff I have never seen before.

  12. January 25, 2010 / 10:27 pm

    I'm over the Night Blooming Dress, tbh. I saw some in my store awhile ago, and every time I went they looked more and more beat up. Fraying all over the place and just generally dirty. I think it's very likely to fall apart and won't hold up for years and years — which is a requirement for me if I'm going to spend that kind of money, even on sale. Would love to see either the Plaza or Tempting Trellis on sale, because I bought both at full price! I am banned from spending money for awhile, but if the Manisa dress gets a second cut, I might consider making an exception. =)

    Do you think it's smarter to wait for the Small Packages cardigan to go on sale or buy it now?

    I purchased the Reed Shirtdress last week, so it would be so wonderful, so wonderful to have a price adjustment. And I have been hoping for the Avenues of Lace top to go on sale, but alas not yet. Keeping my fingers crossed!

  15. January 25, 2010 / 11:20 pm

    Kim – Boo! That is not what I want to hear!I posted pictures of myself in both purchases this morning on my blog. Am I delusional in wanting to keep them or are they cute?

  16. January 25, 2010 / 11:21 pm

    I was just at the Scottsdale store and the very first Reed Shirtdress to come out was 50% off. It's the one with black and white plaid. Just wanted to let all of you know! Store number: 480-951-4230

  17. January 25, 2010 / 11:26 pm

    Hehehe I laughed at your Never-Ever-Going-On-Sale section–so true! I have been thinking that about the Falling Ribbon Cardigan forever! I am also dying that the Frozen Crystals dress isn't on sale yet! A lot of sizes are already gone and Anthro hasn't put it on sale yet! Here's to hoping!

    Katie, as for the Night Blooming dress, I think part of the problem is that people are trying to put on a size too small and not the quality of the dress itself. When I tried on my normal size I could feel it not giving and asked for the next size up. Unfortunately I think a lot of people have a hang up on the "number" and try to force clothing to fit. RIP.But that is just my take:)

    well I hope the Skyfall Dress goes on sale I liked it a lot, I'm tempted to get it full price but I will resist the urge. Btw I got the stacked smoked heels last friday, I <3 them 🙂 I'm happy I was able to snag a pair on sale.

    I don't think there will be a sale tomorrow. I was in the Anthro store today around 1:30 pm and the SA were just standing around the cash registers talking. It wasn't busy…but my point was that they were not doing any markdowns.

  21. January 25, 2010 / 11:53 pm

    Either-Or Jacket $88 should be on the list as well. It's online only and has been out there forever.Also Roxy: I think you are entitled to the Midnight Sky T-straps on sale since you couldn't get the other Chie Mihara Smoked Stack heels.

  22. January 26, 2010 / 12:20 am

    Aww, Diem… I hope that you're wrong (although I secretly suspect that you're right – I feel like there's usually one Tuesday per month when nothing moves to the Sale rack and we haven't had one of those in a while). If there is a (clothing) sale tomorrow, here are my predictions:-Maeshowe Shirtdress-Frozen Crystals Dress-Blushing Faille Dress-Graceful Point Cardigan-Letizia Cardigan-Gathered Lace Blouse-Sidewise Denim Skirt-Bowtied Mini-Line Dance Skirt-Lolland Sweater Dress (if there are any left in stores)(all of these predictions are based on the fact that they were featured in the October or November catalogs or have been around for approximately 3 months)

  23. January 26, 2010 / 12:22 am

    What time does Anthro update it's site to reflect sale items?Also, I saw the Chie Mahara sandals at Lord and Taylor on Fifth Avenue this weekend. You can use any of L&T's coupons on them too (usually for 20% off).

  24. January 26, 2010 / 12:37 am

    I want the Vines and Buds cardigan to go on sale. It was so comfy when I tried it on. I really can't look at anything else b/c I'm lacking in the funds dept.

  25. January 26, 2010 / 1:08 am

    OnlyGirl – LOL, that's about what I'm thinking.Dee – If you really want it, I'd buy it now! I don't see it going on sale any time soon unfortunately.Loraine – thanks so much for letting us know!Stephanie – I remain insanely jealous. So glad you like them!Bronzi – :)Penelope – Apparently items on wishlists start updating at 12AM PST, but I know that they're up around 7 AM EST when I wake up.

  26. January 26, 2010 / 1:46 am

    the noble lore blouse! it was from one of the fall catalogs and needs to go on sale darnit!

  27. January 26, 2010 / 2:48 am

    Re: The Nights Blooming Dress…I had to take my Brand Freakin' New/Unworn/Only Touched To Go From The Bag To The Hanger In My Closet NightsBlooming Dress back to the store because it had a rip under the left armpit!Has anyone else noticed the ones for sale As Is on the sales racks having this problem? I saw several in two different store with rips in the Exact Same Spot…SO disappointed :-(I dont think I can pull the trigger even if it goes on sale overnight because I just dont trust the quality.Crying shame, that dress was SO pretty and I was looking forward to wearing it as soon as some of this Bay Area RAIN stops :-/

    Stephanie — I noticed the same problem with my Night Blooming Dress. I had not worn it once, but when I was going to I noticed that there were tears on both sides under the armpits. I would not buy it even if it goes on sale.

    stop casting the evil eye on falling ribbon, if we all hope together we can make it go on sale!! 🙂 🙂 i finally got my hands on the L of the tea cardigan, and while the arms and back fit well, it just would not button over my (dd/e) chest. so now i am in mourning & only half off falling ribbon will dry my tears!!
