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. As we all know tomorrow with be the kickoff for Anthropologie’s semi-annual Tag Sale. I’m dying to see which items get marked down (and by how much). Realistically since Anthro is doing quite well I am trying to keep my expectations in check. Key word there being trying…normally when I write this list I try to cull but this week I am wishing, and hoping, etc.

I have added a quick list of in-store markdowns from readers in the comments section. Please note that sale items may vary from store to store! Kim will be stopping by her local store later tonight so check out Anthroholic in a few hours for the hot-off-the-presses preview list.

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 really want the Rhomboid Rush but $178 is too much for me. It reminds me of some of the dresses Cary Mulligan wore in "An Education."Sale, please??

  6. May 17, 2010 / 8:33 pm

    I already pre-shopped and managed to get all the items in my size I wanted (shopped 3 different Anthros over the weekend – so much fun). Now I am just hoping for a huge PA 🙂

  24. May 17, 2010 / 9:03 pm

    Thanks Roxy! I was hoping the Buds & Bunches Tee might go on sale, but I saw (and bought) it today in a beautiful new wine/bordeaux color, so it probably won't be on sale. I'm still excited though!

    I've been so distracted all weekend just thinking about this sale! I've got my fingers crossed for a few items (I'm looking at you Silk Obi Blouse), but I'm afraid that most of my must-have items are too recent (March) to make it to sale this time around. But I'll be up tonight all the same!

  37. May 17, 2010 / 9:48 pm

    I am super excited about this sale and can't wait to see what gets marked down. I was finally able to track down the New York New York dress in my size, so my budget has shrunk a little bit. I am hoping for the Breezy Ride Cardigan, Traversing Dress, Cooling Palette Dress, and the Drifting By Dress (cream color).

    I was in NY this weekend and at Rockefeller and all the Florid Facade blouses were off the floor and in the back only. I'm presuming this means it will go on sale…

  48. May 17, 2010 / 10:22 pm

    @Kim — I hope your tip re: the Cartography Cardi is right b/c I bought one in hopes of it being on sale this week :)!! Also picked up a Roaming Frills Cardi for the same reason, lol. As long as one of those is on sale I'll feel good b/c I returned a bunch of full priced stuff anyway :). I have another 6-7 items on my list that I'd have a hard time passing up…like the Rushing Ruffles dress or the Breeze Along cami. *sigh* Needless to say I'll be staking out the sale both online and making a stop at my local Anthro tomorrow morning. I'm hopeless!

  49. May 17, 2010 / 10:22 pm

    Sarah – that actually doesn't necessarily indicate a sale. If an item is pulled off the floor and in the back, it's called backstock – they do this a lot with older merch when new things come in and they run out of room on the floor.

  50. May 17, 2010 / 10:26 pm

    Does anyone think the Pucker Up Cardigan will go on sale? It's been around FOREVER. I just did a charge send on one today in hopeful anticipation b/c they're all sold out online.

    Does anyone know what's wrong with the Blurred Boundaries Dress? There were several available online (found them by clicking on the picture on the catalog), then they all disappeared at once and it shows that it's out of stock on my wishlist. When I call CS, they say it's on stock, they order it for me and before they can complete the order, they say that there is a recall (dress recall? Is it a Toyota??) and the dress is nowhere to be found. Has anyone seen this dress sz 10 or 12 in a store? Misterious dress!!

    The rising vapors dress and the winding road tank are NOT on sale.

    Stephanie, since you asked over the weekend what my "really-wants" are over the weekend, here's the list:Sailing Hobbyist SkirtEndless Chevrons DressKyoto Medallion Blouse Shimmering Pin-Up CardiganEverything else is just a want. 😉

  58. May 17, 2010 / 10:58 pm

    @Marcela — Not sure about that dress in particular but Anthro "recalled" the Alena skirt for no discernible reason a few months ago right when it went on sale (pulled all inventory offline, noted the recall in the system for CS) and then released them for sale again like, a week or two later? It was really weird and never really explained. They were still being sold stores during their so-called recall so I picked mine up in a B&M and have had no issues with it. You may want to wait a little bit and see if it doesn't pop up again online, or just see if you can buy it from a store, either in person or via charge send.

    I know this question gets asked fairly frequently, but this is the first time that I've ever possibly been eligible for a PA since I just bought a couple of older items full-price less than two weeks ago. How long exactly do you have to get a PA? Does anyone know if it's two weeks from the date you purchased or two weeks from the shipped date?

  60. May 17, 2010 / 10:59 pm

    Also looking for the Cartography Cardigan! If anyone sees it in a medium or large could you put it on hold for me?Thank you!

  61. May 17, 2010 / 11:03 pm

    I was just at my local Anthro, and from what I saw on their sale racks that were already out, the markdowns are the standard amounts…the SA let me purchase the Bougainvillea Cardigan for the $69.95 price today, though, so I was pretty thrilled about that. Thought I'd have to wait until tomorrow!

    Ok just came back from anthro and I saw the following items all grouped together on rolling racks near fitting room/stock room. They were hung on the same racks as the items that readers have spotted being marked down. They were also grouped with tables of home items that looked like typical tag sale tables. Looked like they were getting ready to be marked down.

    Just got back from scoping out the sales rack at my local store and I have to say I was hugely disappointed 🙁 It definitely didn't seem like a bigger/more exciting sale than usual. I asked the SAs if maybe they'd put some other items out later but they said no.I hope you all fare better than I did though and get all the things on your wishlists!

  70. May 17, 2010 / 11:36 pm

    It is just a way for Anthro stores to clear out all that older sale stuff before inventory- to make it a lil smoother. It is such an unusual sale becuse it will be home, accessories, and clothing. Also, some stores got shipped some older sale stuff that they might have not had.

    Re: Florid Facade BlouseAnthro just restocked the blue version of the blouse online in all sizes last week. All of the sizes seem to have at least 100+ in stock as well so it seems pretty unlikely that it'll go on sale tomorrow. I had bought one of the last XS in the Ivory last Tuesday & I was really hoping for a PA on this one 😛

  110. May 18, 2010 / 3:35 am

    Jinii-I've returned without the bag before. The SA had no problem doing the return she just had to look up the SKU in order to make a tag for it.

    Has anyone seen the Wind Catcher Dress in the sale section?

  112. May 18, 2010 / 3:40 am

    @ Jinii,I used to return online purchases without bags all the time before I realized the relationship between the two. It was never a problem since I always had my packing list as well. Of course the SAs are very appreciative (read: relieved) when I bring in the bag, too.

    Jinii – I wouldn't worry too much about the bags. Unless you've got a multiple item return, where you are returning only part of a big order, and have each and every item in the correct bag – the packing list is much more helpful :). A savvy enough SA can use it to pull up your entire order on the screen, with the correct item numbers, descriptions, and pictures to go along with it :).

    Did anyone see what the Pachyderm Parade Dress was going for?

  116. May 18, 2010 / 4:02 am

    Haha, I highly doubt she "forgot". It takes a lot of time, and I think she wrote somewhere that she would update around 10pm central time. It's only 9pm on the west coast. Be patient.

    Anon @ 12:01,Perhaps you should give Kim more than 60 seconds. It's a lot of effort.

  119. May 18, 2010 / 4:03 am

    hmmm are my eyes playing tricks on me? I swear there's another post in my email that I just responded to that's not showing up here….

  120. May 18, 2010 / 4:04 am

    ooh glad the rainforest morning dress is marked down! How big of a % are these first time markdowns? 40%?

  121. May 18, 2010 / 4:08 am

    Anon @ 12:01 – I believe the proper response is, "thank you for all of your hard work!". And if you have something not so nice to say, please keep it to yourself. That's not how I roll and it sure as hell isn't how the community rolls either.

  122. May 18, 2010 / 4:11 am

    What's the best time to wake up for the online sale? I'm on the West Coast and wondering if I should stay up until midnight, or if I should wait a few hours later…I have to wake up in the morning for work and only want to do this once! Thanks!!

    Kim updated her blog with the list. Also, I think Roxy and Kim are doing a great job and thank you for all the hard work you ladies put into this. Awesome job.In addition to that, I am happy and sorta disappointed that some of the items I wanted didn't go on sale. I am happy because my wallet won't be completely drained for this sale.

  127. May 18, 2010 / 4:22 am

    Thanks for the support Roxy and everyone. I'm not sure what anonymous said, and it was obviously not nice, but I posted my list.I was at my store for 1.5 hours to make sure I got everything down. It takes time and I appreciate everyone who understands that. This is hard work and Roxy is amazing for the full list she puts together 🙂

  128. May 18, 2010 / 4:23 am

    OMG. Excited! I have been putting off on previous sales. Hopefully tomorrow will be worth it.

  129. May 18, 2010 / 4:29 am

    I know this is about a one in a million chance, but if they could offer free shipping starting say 3 am this morning, I may pass out from over joy!! I hope everyone gets the goodies they've been eyeing 🙂

  130. May 18, 2010 / 4:57 am

    thank you roxy for all that you do!i have a anthro-lunch date planned with the girls tomorrow!

  131. May 18, 2010 / 5:29 am

    Hi Roxy. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication! Do you know if they will have 2nd or 3rd cuts also tomorrow?

  132. May 18, 2010 / 6:33 am

    Dear Anthropologie Website,Hi there, it's almost 3am. Would you please update for the sale so I may go to bed? Thank you!-Meg

  133. May 18, 2010 / 6:45 am

    omg, if the Air Mail Skirt doesn't finally go on sale, I think my head will explode. It's waaaaay at the bottom of my 150+ item wishlist because it's been there FOREVER. Well, I think the Bougainvillea Cardi has been on there a little longer, I think it's the absolute oldest item on my list (besides stuff that's already sold out that I'm stalking for popbacks). Besides that, I'm hoping with all the rest of you ladies (I'm sure) for the Beda Dress and Breezy Ride Cardi. My mom (who I've got hooked on Anthro Home) is hoping for the Rosette Quilt, buuuut, not likely, since it looks like they recently introduced a new color in that.Hoping, too, for a second cut on the Alena Skirt so I can get the other color 🙂 My husband convinced me that the navy would be more practical in my wardrobe, and ever since, I've lusted over the blush color (my original choice). OH, almost forgot… I'm going to return some stuff tomorrow that I haven't worn (to buy stuff that I know I will 😉 I think the only thing that isn't available online is a size S Tartan Rose Tieback in the Sand colorway. Email me if you'd like me to put it on hold for you! the.inviolable.voice@gmail.com

  134. May 18, 2010 / 6:53 am

    Good luck ladies! Hope you all find what you're looking for.

  135. May 18, 2010 / 6:56 am

    Yippee! Counting down . . .Come on Beda Dress!

  136. May 18, 2010 / 6:57 am

    Gemma – yes, there should be 2nd/3rd cuts today as well. (In-store today, online tomorrow.)

  137. May 18, 2010 / 7:06 am

    wtffffff, where are the markdowns??

  138. May 18, 2010 / 7:06 am

    Any minute now…

  139. May 18, 2010 / 7:08 am

    Well here's the thing. Now Anthro knows that we're all playing this little game. The sale coverage space is a lot more crowded than it was a few weeks ago. I would not be surprised if they changed it up a bit…

  140. May 18, 2010 / 7:09 am

    lol, the suspense is killing me!

  141. May 18, 2010 / 7:10 am

    It's on ladies! Sale post is up…

  142. May 18, 2010 / 7:10 am

    Maybe I'm just cynical, but I don't think Anthro cares enough to intentionally switch things up…

  143. May 18, 2010 / 7:10 am

    Last week the markdowns started a little late..I'm sure it's coming soon, but the suspense is killing me!

  144. May 18, 2010 / 7:11 am

    Seeing markdowns now.

  150. May 18, 2010 / 7:13 am

    Hehe tricky tricky Anthro!! Love your blog Roxy, I read it every day… thanks so much for all your awesome work!! I wish I was visiting my parents in NJ right now, I would have way more Anthros to choose from in NYC. Ohio is seriously lacking.

  151. May 18, 2010 / 7:13 am

    Yay, seeing markdowns, though on nothing I was actually planning on buying. Seeing a bunch of second cuts though, that's always exciting!

  152. May 18, 2010 / 7:14 am

    I'm seeing a few 2nd cuts so far too

  153. May 18, 2010 / 7:15 am

    I just ordered the Stamped Tulips Tank (in two different sizes, since I haven't tried it on yet!) for $49.95, the clustered sunspots necklace for $19.95, and the double-twist sweater for $9.95!! And I'll be going to the store later. 🙂

  163. May 18, 2010 / 7:45 am

    If I am using a gift card does it take the amount off automatically? Or will I have to wait until they actually do the charge?

  164. May 18, 2010 / 7:51 am

    @KimSiomkos: the total when you order remains the same, but the gift card payment will be applied first when the order is processed. If there's any remaining due then they'll use the credit card you supplied to cover the rest.

  165. May 18, 2010 / 7:51 am

    Thanks Diana!!

  166. May 18, 2010 / 7:52 am

    Question about PAs — unfortunately the Cartography Cardi isn't marked down online though it seems from the tips it may be marked down in store? If it happens to be marked down in a store in my area, can I get a PA based on the in store price? Or does PA only apply based on the online price?In the meantime I picked up the Sailing Hobbyist skirt, Flipside Blazer, Covered in Cables Cardi and a Snakebite Belt in grey, which I wanted to get anyway sale or no sale. Feeling pretty good about my haul since they're versatile pieces that fill in some major holes in my closet :). And after shopping nearly every sale the past two months I'm officially putting myself on a ban for the next two months :p. Good thing there isn't anything I really want in the latest collections :p

  167. May 18, 2010 / 7:54 am

    And to clarify my above question, I bought my Cartography Cardi in-store, which is why I'm hoping a PA would fly if my store is discounting even if online isn't!

  168. May 18, 2010 / 7:55 am

    Boo Beda dress! No PA, but I love you anyway.I finally got the scalloped sailor skirt, midas braids belt and look sharp tunic.Whew, back to bed.Roxy, thank you so much for your hard work!

    fyi–cleveland's store has a navy reed shirtdress size 10. however, it has a small tear in the sleeve and its missing a button around the waist (which would be hidden by a belt anyway). it was only $29.95. i definitely would have bought had it been my size.
