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. It will be interesting to see what happens this week after a week of practically nothing new in sale last week. 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?

    When oh when will the Scalloped Dots Skirt go on sale? Sigh! I want it but on sale, please.

  2. February 1, 2010 / 9:40 pm

    all things on sale would be nice.but if i had to pick one, it would be the gumshoe sweatercoat. SO cute.

  3. February 1, 2010 / 9:47 pm

    Well it would make my day if the Scalloped Clouds Skirt went on sale tomorrow….because i broke down and bought it yesterday. Also the Horizon Line Dress, please. i think i'm within PA timeframes on that one too…but it's not even online anymore…

  4. February 1, 2010 / 9:47 pm

    The Scalloped Dots Skirt and the Field of Fancy Blouse would be lovely. I'm trying to branch out from ruffles – to polka dots!

    Question about the Reed Shirtdress:Since Anthro just recently released the blue/green plaid version of this dress, do you think they would actually put the older colors on sale? Has anyone ever seen them do that?

  6. February 1, 2010 / 9:58 pm

    lindsey.elizabeth – no, the Reed Shirtdress won't go on sale because they did just release it in the two new colors. Typically when Anthro does this, it's considered a new release again and all of the new and old colors go on sale at the same time, so I think we'll be waiting for this dress for a while.Case in point, the Gumshoe Sweater – still not on sale and was originally released in ivory, black and purple, and then rereleased in red. I think items like the Gumshoe and Plaza Cardigans, that have been restocked again and again and keep selling out, will very likely never go on sale, or by the time they do, there will be very few left.

    Love my Gumshoe but I cannot believe I spent that much for it. I am not expecting a sale tomorrow. Has anyone been in a store today to hear about one?

  9. February 1, 2010 / 10:22 pm

    I'm not holding my breath, but I would really love some of the Lawan pieces to go on sale. I've got my eyes on the Hydrangea Flurry Vest.Nordstrom's put their Glasshouse Dress on sale, so I'm thinking Anthro will follow suit soon. But I don't know how I feel about it anymore. I'd love to have it, but even on sale it's pricy, and there's so much new arrivals I'd love to have.There are a few other Leifsdottir items from winter/fall that should be on sale soon.My store already is getting some Leifsdottir items in for sale that was never available online. They did that last year, too. There were racks and racks of items from the line (last year, not yet this year, trust me, I will report back once more are in).

  10. February 1, 2010 / 10:38 pm

    I'm thinking that the In-a-Moment dress will go on sale soon. My store had some in stock but kept them in the backroom, and only took one out when I inquired about it. This also happened with the Ice Capped Blouse, and it went on sale a few days after. I'm hoping the Reed Shirtdress will go on sale too because I just bought it! But Kim is probably right about it being considered a new release again.

  11. February 1, 2010 / 11:11 pm

    I was in the store today around 11am- ish and nothing happening. They were only putting out a few new arrivals. The last time I was in on a "markdown Monday", SA were pulling things left and right and referring to a markdown sheet, and it was around the same time of day. Who knows, maybe they'll have only a few markdowns or maybe they'll go to town tonight. Oh, the suspense! I so do not need to be buying anything else right now!!! 🙂

  12. February 1, 2010 / 11:11 pm

    Here are my predictions (based on the fact that these items have been around for 2+ months, unless otherwise noted):-Bubbling Up Sweater-Graceful Point Cardigan-Acclimate Sweater-Longing For Yellow Dress-Dandelion Wish Dress-Maeshowe Shirtdress-Frozen Crystals Dress-Castle Spire Dress-Dewy Meadow Tunic-Two D-Shell-Pagoda Top-Damara Blouse (it's on sale at Nordstrom's)-Fargyle Skirt-Bowtied Mini-For Flora Skirt

  13. February 1, 2010 / 11:16 pm

    I'm going to 2nd Lola's Maeshowe Dress prediction and follow it up with "fingers-crossed" action since I finally bought it and tomorrow is my last chance for a price adjustment.

  14. February 2, 2010 / 12:16 am

    i'm still hoping for the vines and buds cardigan. it was so cozy when i tried it on 🙂

  15. February 2, 2010 / 1:28 am

    I am doing the sale dance for the scalloped dots skirt. I bought it last week and am really hoping for a PA!

    I am really hoping that the stacked strap booties are going to go on sale! I caved last week and am hoping for the price adjustment. Isn't it time for booties to be on sale since its already February??

  17. February 2, 2010 / 2:12 am

    would love for the falling ribbon cardigan to go on sale!

  18. February 2, 2010 / 2:31 am

    C'mon, tempting trellis! You know you want to give me a price adjustment! You know you do! I need those fifty bucks so I can buy a bunch of Anthro tights… ahem, I mean, save it. Yes, that's right. Saving. Right. *shifty eyes* Still looking for second cuts on the Manisa dress and snowscape tank! I liked the bow tied "mini" (not a mini on my 5'3 self, but whatev) skirt, but honestly it's been so long that I think I'm over that one.

  19. February 2, 2010 / 2:34 am

    I'm so torn! My spending budget won't kick in for another week or so…if there are a bunch of markdowns tomorrow I'll have to live vicariously though you ladies. 🙂

    What do you think the price of the Scalloped Clouds skirt would be, approximately, if it went on sale tomorrow? Thanks!

  21. February 2, 2010 / 2:45 am

    Anon, since it is $98 I think, I'd guess it would end up being around $50 on sale. =)

    I'm hoping for some good markdowns this week since there weren't any last week. Although I am in love with so many new items, I'm still hoping for a good sale..let's keep our fingers crossed.

    Given all the new arrivals, I would be elated if they simply pushed the rest of the fall and winter merchandise to sale.

  24. February 2, 2010 / 3:52 am

    I've been lurking forever and started following you last week!

    If the Dwarf Quince cardigan went on sale I would just about pee my pants with excitement! I doubt it though, because they just replinished the sizes a week or so ago. 🙁 I've been waiting this one out for awhile now!

    I am really hoping the Night Blooming Dress will go on sale so I can get a price adjustment and promptly spend it on the Florid Facade Blouse. Otherwise, I am all shopped out for some time.

  27. February 2, 2010 / 4:05 am

    I'd like to see them take a second markdown on the Amarena Sweaterdress. It was still in stock in all sizes, all colors online last time I checked, which means it isn't selling well (though I must admit I saw a lot fewer of them in stores). I snapped up the Roped Posies necklace (the big red flowers with sparkly centers) when they marked it down to $9.95, and my Anthro had an adorable window display with it and the red Amarena sweaterdress, that I'd love to make my own.

    Roxy, When did you get your birthday discount coupon? Its my birthday next week and I still haven't gotten mine. I could really use that 15% off because I spend so much at anthro. Any tips would be much appreciated!Love your blog!

  29. February 2, 2010 / 4:24 am

    I just snagged the Polaire vest on sale out of my wishlist. SO excited, hope it ships! It's s/o now but I'm guessing it was apart of tomorrows markdowns. So maybe will see some more good stuff! Good luck ladies!

  30. February 2, 2010 / 6:00 am

    Fingers crossed for the Frozen Crystals dress!!! I feel like I've been waiting forever!

  31. February 2, 2010 / 7:45 am

    Oooh. Very glad I happened to still be up. Snagged the Castle Spire dress ($99!) and the New Academia skirt out of my wishlist. And now my budget lies in tatters at my feet. No more shopping!

    molly darling–i totally saw that too! i tried to add it to my bag (just for kicks..not sure i'd ever wear it but for that price worth a look!) at around 3.10am EST, but was a no go–must've sold out immediately. i'm thinking typo too…

    shannon-congrats on the polaire! just fyi, it actually went on sale a while back though–i bought it for $59.95 when it popped back in my size about a month ago. great piece and great snag! enjoy it!

  49. February 2, 2010 / 12:06 pm

    Meh, i think i'm going to sit this sale out. I was really digging the for flora skirt, but I think I'm fully onto spring items now. But does anyone know if the Reverie Top has been marked down again? I just bought it recently for 49,95 and would love to get a PA if it was marked down

  50. February 2, 2010 / 2:30 pm

    Anon @ 11:07 – I got it on Dec. 31 for January. Typically they arrive by the 10th of your birthday month.

  51. February 2, 2010 / 7:15 pm
