Playing the Sale guessing game


Oh ladies. This week promises to be a good one in markdownland. I have my fingers crossed for the Yardarm Tee ($58), the There-She-Goes Vest ($68), the Gentle Loop Necklace ($168) and the Rift Valley Shorts ($98). I would wish for more but that’s about all the fingers I can cross! Will Anthropologie continue to tease with just a few markdowns or will this week be the fireworks we thought were coming last week? We shall see. Several community members have already given preview members from their stores; their list at the bottom of this post. Kim from Anthroholic has a preview list up here. I’ll have the full list up once the sale items appear on Anthro’s website.

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?

    Oh Beda Dress… please go on sale! 🙂

  2. July 5, 2010 / 8:32 pm

    I'm hoping for a big sale for everyone. Personally, I'm hoping for some shoes!

  3. July 5, 2010 / 8:34 pm

    I'm really excited about the High Seas Dress making it to sale and I'd LOVE for some new jewelry too 😉

    I'm not hoping for much, I feel all shopped out right now so I'll be very selective if there is a sale tomorrow. Shoes might really tempt me. I'm hoping the Magnifying Glass Dress goes on sale so I can get a PA.

  5. July 5, 2010 / 8:46 pm

    stephanie: I know what you mean about shopped out. Just too many sales and too many temptation that makes me mindful of my own budget now.

  6. July 5, 2010 / 8:48 pm

    I really want the keeping tabs tee.

  7. July 5, 2010 / 8:53 pm

    I'd like to see some shoes go on sale as well!

  8. July 5, 2010 / 9:01 pm

    Fell in love with the Chantico tank – although not holding out much hope for it to be on sale tomorrow.

  9. July 5, 2010 / 9:05 pm

    I was at the store this AM and the mgr. was moving around at the speed of light pulling things and walking around with her head buried in what appeared to be markdown sheets. The store was crowded, so I couldn't get a real good look at what was going on. This community is awesome! Between all the followers chiming in and Roxy and Kim doing their detective work, I get so excited for Tuesday morning! Who would have thought!?!

  12. July 5, 2010 / 9:21 pm

    I have been craving the Green Chantico Tank forever and ever. Is 50 to old to wear such a goddess inspired top?Kim, Are you cheering for the Rise and Fall Cardi? Did it ever appear in stores?

  13. July 5, 2010 / 9:27 pm

    I have the Proscenium Cardi in Navy. I would love to have it in White at the sale price.Pretty, pretty, please!

  14. July 5, 2010 / 9:30 pm

    I'm really confident/hopeful about the Keeping Tabs tee. My daughter loves it and *really* wanted it for her 12th birthday yesterday. I broke down and bought it for her Saturday, assuming a price adjustment — primarily because every time I'd ask about it the SAs would say something like, "Oh, is that still on the floor?" One store even went with me to the sale room to look for it before figuring out it wasn't marked down just yet.

  15. July 5, 2010 / 9:34 pm

    Ooooh Picture Frame blouse, please please please, Anthro! I am dying for both colours and shouldn't buy them both unless I get a sale!

  16. July 5, 2010 / 9:37 pm

    I would love for the Whirl & Wind cardi or the Phosphorescent dress to go on sale, but my budget would only allow one item this time. Hope it's a good sale for everyone.@stephanie and ellie22 – I'm all shopped out too from all the 4th of July sales that happened this past weekend. @Pamela – that sounds promising!

  17. July 5, 2010 / 9:40 pm

    Roxy – I just posted about 10 things over on my blog that were marked down at my store for tomorrow. Hope this helps everyone!

  18. July 5, 2010 / 9:45 pm

    Looks like I bought the While-Away-The-Days Bermudas and Picture Frame Blouse too early! At least I can get a PA for the blouse if it goes on sale tomorrow!

    Tien – shoes would be great! lindsey..elizabeth – I would love to see some jewelry too.Stephanie, ellie22 and Diana Draw – I understand the shopped out feeling. Sometimes I'll have items in my cart and wonder, why am I even buying these? In those cases I just empty it before temptation wins out. It's OK to not buy anything when the sale flips on. 🙂

    will the drifting by dress ever go on sale? so sad.

  23. July 5, 2010 / 10:10 pm

    Is it wrong that I don't want a sale?? My wallet might cry if anything I really want goes on sale. Actually, that's not true. I'd be thrilled if the Florid Facade top went on sale. I bought one about a month ago, and loved it, but the button popped off on it's third wear. After going to my store and even contacting CS, they told me to return it because the shirts didn't come with spare buttons. The only other one my store had in my size was also missing a button, so I used the money from that return towards the sugar and cream dress.Long story short, FLORID FACADE TOP, PLEASE GO ON SALE!

  27. July 5, 2010 / 10:18 pm

    I saw many of the items Kim mentioned on her blog already in the sale room at my local Anthro. They never mark down one off's. I posted on another thread that there were several Blooming Lattice cardi's in Navy and Green. Not sure of the sizes.Still saw the Two Wheeler on the floor.

    Roxy – LOL!!! I guess I had to logic that one out. And do you like how I am so weak that I but that exchange towards something completely new, instead of being a good girl and having them call CS for the shirt?But heads up to everyone – the Florid Facade top is apparently known for popping buttons. After I lost the one, I noticed the others were really poorly attached. And there are no spare buttons.HMMMMM…COULD THIS BE A FLAW THAT WOULD CAUSE A PREMATURE MARKDOWN?? (a la super itchy fabric for in a twinkling dress) Please??

    Do you know if you call cs tonight for an item they will give you the sale price? I thought some people were doing it last week for the field game cardigan…

  38. July 5, 2010 / 11:29 pm

    Krysti – I just tried ordering an item with CS for the sales price and they told me that they could take my order, but they could only put it into their system at midnight.

    Hey all-I can confirm almost all of Roxy's seen-by-community members list. All of these items were on sale at the New Brunswick store in NJ. One of the SAs told me that these items would be on sale tomorrow online. The Aniseed skirt was still not on sale (ugh) and the Drifting by Dress was still regular price. Hope everyone finds what they are looking for…

  46. July 6, 2010 / 12:10 am

    Ah, sweet Aimee H! I moved the list up in the post. Ladies, you are good. This Girl – interesting! I wonder if it will be included in the AM…the plot thickens.

  50. July 6, 2010 / 12:31 am

    Hurray sale! This time I can be legitimately happy for y'all since I've already bought my July treat and won't be tempted by anything on sale…unless Climbing Cowlneck gets a 2nd cut. I don't think that'll happen just yet, but irony does love me…Happy shopping, ladies!

  52. July 6, 2010 / 12:34 am

    Speaking of 2nd cuts, I would be totally OK if the Painter's Work Skirt got one! Hint, hint, Anthro. 😉

  55. July 6, 2010 / 12:50 am

    I am hoping for some second cuts.

  56. July 6, 2010 / 1:00 am

    I went to the SF Anthro in hopes of finding some new arrivals, but there wasn't much. I did notice a stack of green Blooming Lattice cardis, no navy, but I didn't check sizes. 415-434-2210

  57. July 6, 2010 / 1:01 am

    I thought second cuts were usually on Wed. Has that changed?Excited about the blooming lattice. Finally caved and bought the green on Thursday. Yeah PA!

  58. July 6, 2010 / 1:10 am

    Once again fingers crossed for some second cuts! I'll be up tonight/this morning, even if it is unlikely.And that Keeping Tabs Tee is calling my name. . . .

    Hi Anon at 8:31,How funny, I am always looking for fellow anthro stalkers too. But, no that wasn't me. I was there with returns too, but ended up buying something anyway. Which reminds me, Roxy, the Herb Field Cardigan was on sale too, for 49.95. They had one XS, a couple of Smalls, and a couple of Larges. Also, I returned a medium Tecolote tank, if anyone was looking for one.

  60. July 6, 2010 / 1:12 am

    Aimiee and anon – so glad to see other no bru shoppers:) were there lots of items in the sale room? I decided to skip today and go in tomorrow to do my returns and look around. I hope they have good stock as they hardly had anything last week.

  61. July 6, 2010 / 1:36 am

    @A@9:12: Sale room was decently filled. They took some of the stuff they had on the sales rack in the fitting room and put them in sales room. If you know what you want, it's worth a look to see what they have.I returned the Night Flora sandals in a size 9. I bought a 8.5 and a 9 since I was unsure of the sizing. They are $60. SA's at the store are the nicest. I go to Princeton store occasionally and this past Saturday they didn't have much.BTW: If anyone is still looking for the Dissolved Spectrum cardi that is sold out on line, Princeton, NJ store has some.Bronzi

    I am feeling somewhat shopped out as well — I always do this time of year with all the killer sales sprouting up everywhere. Although if some choice shoes went on sale, that might perk me up! lolonly clothing items i'd be tempted by are the poured paint tank and buoyant bunches (?) cardi, and maybe shorts or cropped pants if they are long enough.

    I just called Customer Service about the Blooming Lattice Cardi in Green. They offered to do a charge send at the sale price and I would know within 72 hours if they found one for me. Usually customer gives me the names of stores who have the item in stock and then I call and take care of the charge send. Doing it this way makes me really nervous! Especially since I know this item will sell out quickly. I would just like to know if I will have it or not… Has others had luck with this method? I have the navy version and wear it a ton, so I would love to add the green to my collection :).

    The Houston Westheimer store had lots of green Blooming Lattice Cardis today, didn't check for the navy. They were hidden behind another top on the regular floor, but the store didn't have any of the new markdowns out as of around 4:30 CT.I myself am looking for a green Friendly Competition Top in a 4. I ordered a 6 but finally gave up and returned it, it was way too big under the arms.Thanks for the help ladies!Elisethe.inviolable.voice@gmail.com

  70. July 6, 2010 / 2:35 am

    @Ashley…I have had luck with CS charge send but I have always done that with a non sale item. For things that I worry about selling out I get the store numbers and do the leg work myself so I know I get it. If it was me I would call CS and get store numbers for the cardigan. Just my 2 cents.

  71. July 6, 2010 / 2:40 am

    I am dying to get the Herb Field Cardi in an XS, but my store never carried it. If you're willing to put one on hold for me tomorrow, or know a store that had some, can you please email me? Thanks a million!Lauren S.l_stasiak@yahoo.com

That one was also mysteriously missing from the floor today and I'm hoping to grab it on sale. Thanks!!!
