Playing the Sale guessing game


This is likely to be a quiet sale week (unless it’s not), with a sizable markdown due next week (unless there’s not). Maybe there will be second cuts this week? Color me confused since I haven’t had a quality visit to the store in 3 weeks. Just a quick failed run-in last week during which Soho had re-racked an item a community member had put on hold for me. It was gone. Sigh. Kim from Anthroholic has a preliminary list up here.

I am very excited for whenever the big sale does hit! I have saved my pennies this month, mostly by being out of temptation’s range. I’ve updated my guess list below. 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?

    Thanks lleila – removed it.

    This week is my last chance for some PAs, so hoping that this week is the big sale week! There are also a few items about due for a sale that I wouldn't mind seeing in my closet. *fingers crossed*

    What's up with the Two-Wheeler Shirtdress??? I usually wear sz 10 or 12 and bought a sz 12 that looks like a sz 24. Ridiculously big! I received it today and couldn't believe! Thankfully, I didn't have to pay shipping!

    hoping for the clearly constructed dress-that one has been out for months!

  12. June 21, 2010 / 8:43 pm

    I am hoping for no sale this week. My wallet needs a break and there is no way I can get to a store tomorrow.

  13. June 21, 2010 / 8:44 pm

    I will indeed be checking out my local store tonight- thanks for the mention Roxy! Anthro really has been throwing us for a loop this month with sales on off days and 5 markdowns at a time. It's frustrating! Anyhow, I'll post on my blog tonight what I find (or don't)!I'm hoping for the Rushing Ruffles Dress (STILL) and the Cattleya Cardi since I just ordered it and would love a PA!

  16. June 21, 2010 / 8:46 pm

    Phew, thanks Kim!! I was wondering if you would be heading to your store or not but I didn't want to ask since I know you are busy with your puppy. I am so glad he is doing better each day!! I'll definitely check out your blog tonight :)) and I may visit my store if I can.

    My store still seems to have a lot of older sale items to get rid of, so I can't see much of a sale this week. But I'm hoping for next week–and I want the Beda dress to get a mark down (so I can get a PA) plus the following are due:Percussive CardiBreezy Dots CardiWind and Whirl CardiCircle the Globe skirt (maybe?)Perilla Dress (early, but maybe?)Herb Field Cardi (sold out, so it's a good time for a markdown)Impressionist's Dream Dress (priced way too high to begin with)Aniseed Skirt (it's just time)Rushing Ruffles (ditto)Speckled Ink Dress (doesn't seem to be selling well in my store)

  19. June 21, 2010 / 8:51 pm

    I gave in last week and bought the Chantico Tank and Illuminated Way blouse at full price. It would be nice to get a PA on either of those.Likewise, I ordered a Two-Wheeler Dress in 12 online. First, Anthro sat on it in their warehouse for a few days (GROWL) and then the post office got it a few miles from my house then inexplicably sent it way off in to the desert. Major frustration. But, should I ever be so lucky as to receive it, I hope for a PA.Is the fourteen day PA period from when you ordered it (double growl for Anthro sitting on it), from when it shipped (hate you post office) or, C, none of the above? Not, of course, that the dress going on sale is a given.Hoping my twelve doesn't come out like a 24! (Or a 10 or 8 — I want non-gaping buttons.)

  23. June 21, 2010 / 9:32 pm

    Caroline, when I once asked for a clarification for PA on an order, I was told it was 14 days from the day of sale/order date. They consider it to be 14 days from the date you actually "bought" it. Hope this helps.heidi

    June 21, 2010 / 9:36 pm

    @hs – I think it's the original date of shipment. On the website it says "If you have purchased items that are now on sale, we will gladly offer you a price adjustment if the original date of shipment was within 14 days of the sale offering."

  25. June 21, 2010 / 10:15 pm

    Re: price adjustments for online orders. I've done several and it is indeed 14 days from the date of shipment (*not* date of order).

    I am hoping for a PA on the Proscenium Cardi I ordered last week.

  27. June 21, 2010 / 10:19 pm

    What Stephanie said – CS has told me that PAs are doable up to 14 days from the date of shipment, not date of purchase.

  28. June 21, 2010 / 10:23 pm

    Thanks, everyone. 🙂

  29. June 21, 2010 / 10:29 pm

    I'm getting desperate for the Blushing Bouquet Cardi. And desperate Anthro Addicts usually get what they want.

  30. June 21, 2010 / 10:34 pm

    I'm with you Roxy. I want, need, have to have the Chantico Tank in luscious GREEN.

  31. June 21, 2010 / 10:36 pm

    Lydia- Thanks to you, I snagged the Elbow Patch Blazer for 19.95! I'd been looking for the perfect blazer for a while now and had found this blazer in a size 10 a couple months ago, but it was just a teeny bit small, so this is perfect! Thanks again!

    University District (Seattle) had a white sz 6 "Things and Joys" dress for half of the price (with the .96 cents in the end). The zipper needs to be fixed.That colorful striped halter maxi dress was 19.96 (it's 79.95 online). I saw a size 6 for sure and there were a few more.

    an SA at my store said no markdowns this week. I hope she was wrong. Hoping for the swan song skirt. 🙂

  42. June 22, 2010 / 12:41 am

    Sorry — used my other blogger account! Let's try that again…The stores I stopped by tonight said markdowns will be in-store Wed, but I am waiting on confirmation for this.

  43. June 22, 2010 / 12:48 am

    Roxy: Molded and Melded Tee has come in new colorways, so doubtful on that being on sale. The green and red are beautiful.

    Any NY Anthropologists can you tell me if any of the stores have substantial supplies of the Two-Wheeler Shirt dress? I have an event to go to and it'll be perfect and I really need a size 4 but it appears to be sold out online.Thanks!

    Bronzi – ah, good point. I did notice the red yesterday. So pretty too.Anon @ 9:52 – we're still sorting things out, please be patient. 🙂 I have a couple of tipsters reporting markdowns tomorrow morning but a couple others reporting nothing til Wednesday. I'm interested to see what Kim finds in Chi-town. Thanks Anon @ 9:54 for the info too!

    I just picked up a Homegrown Dress #030026 that was returned for $40. I'm pretty sure that's a second cut from $80, and it's still showing up online for $80. There are still size 8 and above available online.

    You're welcome Amy! I got a PA on that dress and was so happy that I had to share it!!!I anyone from Seattle/Bellevue area wants to buy that sz 6 Things and Joys dress for half of the price at the U. Village store, there is a woman who does alterations here in Bellevue and she knows how to fix zippers without replacing them. It's cheaper than replacing and she magically puts the zipper "back on track". It's on Crossroads on the 8th St. NE, beside the Blockbuster.
