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. I have low expectations after last week. Still I would have no complaints if it was another big sales week. I also want to say thank you to the many community members who emailed me to help me find the Tic-Tac-Toe Blouse and the Stratus Cloud Top in white. It was such a treat to have so much help. Thank you!

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?

    I think there will be clothing sale tomorrow. I was in my Anthro and the racks in the sale room were cleared like they were waiting for new sale items.

    I'm hoping for the Abuzz cardigan, my anthro has a bunch stocked up and really, how long can they sell long sleeve cardigans for given the upcoming warmer seasons?

  3. April 12, 2010 / 8:33 pm

    maybe Anthro will throw us a curveball and have another clothing sale? Who knows. I would love to see the Two Paths Trench go on sale, but I doubt that will happen for awhile.

    I'd love to see some of the older dresses go on sale, my anthro is so full there is no room for new arrivals!

    hoping for a huge sale tomorrow! 🙂

    Also, I'm thinking that there will be a second cut on the mountain top thermal. They seem to have an overstock of them online. I'll be looking out to get one when it's a little cheaper. Yes, I've been a little too patient!

  11. April 12, 2010 / 9:11 pm

    Keep fingers really really crossed for clothing sales 🙂

  12. April 12, 2010 / 9:26 pm

    A sale would be great but my wallet needs a break from last week.

  13. April 12, 2010 / 9:45 pm

    I have decided that I must have the Wright dress. SIGH. Anthro, why do you torment me with your pretty things? =(I, however, hope it will nooot go on sale tomorrow because I have pretty much spent my budget and therefore shouldn't buy it now. Well, unless CS is unable to locate a cardigan for me. Then I'll have budget room for it. I'll probably get it anyway if it does go on sale, but waiting till May so I don't have to dip into next month's clothing budget would be nice.

  14. April 12, 2010 / 9:46 pm

    How many times can a girl wish for the Wright Dress to go on sale? 🙂

  15. April 12, 2010 / 9:57 pm

    I never turn away a good sale, but I'd be surprised if Anthro would give us another one so soon. Yet, I agree there are a lot of new arrivals they need to make room for. hmmmm…I guess we'll see tomorrow 😉

  16. April 12, 2010 / 10:01 pm

    I'm guessing no sale, but I REALLY hope I'm wrong! If I'm wrong, I hope the Openwork Vines Skirt and the Bougainvillea Cardigan go on sale.

    I love this game!I am hoping for the Glassflower Cardi, Kerchief Cardi, and Grasslands Dress. Even though I think it is unlikely I would also like the Cartography Cardigan and the New York New York dress.

  21. April 12, 2010 / 10:31 pm

    kinda hoping no sale or at least nothing I'm interested in as my budget is already blown from the last sale!

    Part of me would love a sale (Wright Dress & New York, New York dress, I AM LOOKING AT YOU!!!).Part of me could stand to wait another week (my bank account is crying. Well. What's left of it).

  31. April 12, 2010 / 11:38 pm

    Ohhh….grasslands dress! I bought and then returned this, but it would definitely be a great sale buy!

    Considering last week, I don't think there'll be much in the way of clearance.As much as it would benefit my weary credit card to not have a sale tomorrow, if there IS one, I hope the Blue Book Blouse makes it. Which is foolish, I know. It's pretty much brand new.

    Ladies, I have a question for you: I have been trying to locate 2 items in stores for the past 2 weeks and they are a bit older items. The customer service reps gave m3 a couple of stores numbers that each have 3 of these items, but when I called each of these stores, none of them had it 🙁 Even though I called cs monday morning, since sunday is when they update their systems. SO I am not sure what is going on. Have you ever had this experience? I would appreciate if somebody could shed a light on this mysterious behaviour of anthro inventory.

    Anon at 8:05p:That happened to me for three weeks straight with Snakebite Belts in a variety of colors and sizes. Every Monday I would call and get numbers, and it would inevitably end the same way. One SA actually snickered at me for asking.After inquiring why that would happen with over two dozen stores over so long a period, a rep kindly looked into it for me and said that individual stores are solely responsible for their inventories, so if their systems are reading 10 of something when they really had zero, that number is leftover estimate from whenever they may have last ACTUALLY updated. I just gave up after that and decided to wait for the backorder. Persistence just didn't pay off in that case.Sorry for the bum luck. 🙁

  39. April 13, 2010 / 1:50 am

    All I want is the Blazing Rays dress…that thing is divine on!

  40. April 13, 2010 / 1:51 am

    Anon @ 8:05pm: From my own experience, sometimes when I am looking for sale items, if the SA does not find the item after one swipe through the sale section, they tell me they don't have it. But when I call back in a few hours, I get a new person on the phone and they check every nook and cranny and — low and behold– the item is there! It's really a hit or miss.

    anon@8:05: I have had the same problem with items on sale. Sometimes I think the store systems are not updated correctly, because each monday , the same stores show up on the search, yet when I call them up, NO LUCK 🙁 It really is a hit or miss. I think I will email anthro about doing a better job of inventorising(yes, I made that up) because it wastes the store employees' time as well as ours.

    anon @ 8:05:sometimes its a good idea to ask the store that you're calling if they can help you locate the store that has it because often time their records are more up to date. I've had better luck calling a store that customer service had it, then finding out they actually don't have it but having the SA help me locate other stores through THEIR computers. That's how i was able to find six dresses for a bridal party once- the SA even offered to help me out and called all the stores on the west coast that had them :)good luck!

  53. April 13, 2010 / 4:14 am

    *raises hand* i'll be up, checking. hoping against hope (and against my economic best interests) that the new york, new york and/or fiber optics dress goes on sale. also the obi silk blouse, because despite all the negative reviews i have to try it for myself (but not at $200).

  54. April 13, 2010 / 4:39 am

    Hoping for the Slate Stripes Shift and the Around The World Dress!

  55. April 13, 2010 / 4:45 am

    What time does Anthro usually put stuff on sale, if they're going to?

  56. April 13, 2010 / 4:47 am

    I don't think there is going to be a sale tomorrow, but if there is and I know its a long shot I hope the Fragrant Valley dress goes on sale. I also want the Unbroken Chains cardigan, Beribboned Buds cardigan, and the Feathery tank to all go on sale. I kinda almost hope there isn't a sale because my wallet has been hit hard from this weekend and last week's sale.

  57. April 13, 2010 / 6:10 am

    My wallet cries but my heart remains hopeful… COME ON ANISEED SKIRT! (and may I also add: "FOR CRYING OUT LOUD…")

  58. April 13, 2010 / 7:05 am

    No signs of a sale from my wishlist. Perhaps next week. . . .

    the unbroken chains cardigan is on sale at macys for $66, i picked up a M, my store had an XS left.

  65. April 13, 2010 / 12:39 pm

    I'm craving some of the Charlotte Tarantola cardis and if you go to charlottetarantola.com you can see that Anthro has renamed some of the 2009 "previous collections", which you can't shop online, but you can find many of them on sale at other stores. Also, some of the current styles are close matches, and would appeal to you if you liked the ones Anthro had.Some online stores that I found cardis on – including the Happy Hour cardi (comes in two colors) and the Field Game cardi, or similar:searlenyc.comurbanminx.com (seems to stock XS-L, no XL sadly)newprospects.com (happy hour cardi on sale for $70 – free shipping if you spend $75 or more, so add Foot Pedals or something to meet the $75) http://www.shopflaire.com – Field Game cardi in red on sale for $88

    i'm a bit relieved. 🙂

    Ditto…I am frankly relieved too…although I really could have used a PA on the Wright dress. 🙂

    If you are near a last call Neiman Marcus they had lots of leifsdottir on sale. Most of it between 30-40 percent off. First time I have seen a collection of it in Austin. Also they have a lot of cute frock by Tracy Reesse dresses.
