You'll note that the date on the image above is wrong (because it's from 2009) but the timing is right. Yes ladies, next Tuesday should be a great day for Anthropologie sale hunters. It happens twice a year; Anthropologie is ready to clear out a bunch of items and the Sale section will grow exponentially. Kathryn and Carol first mentioned the upcoming sale on In Pursuit of Pretty Things. I was planning to wait until Monday to talk about this so as not to start a frenzy but I've been getting a bunch of emails about this as a result of their post so I figured now is as good as any time. Because clearly the frenzy is already here!
There's markdown weeks, there's big markdown weeks and then there's these twice-a-year markdown weeks. We're talking a lot of items here. For the last couple of years this has meant instead of walking into Anthropologie and seeing new items I've seen the sale racks right up at the front of the store. It will be very interesting to see how Anthropologie positions the markdowns this year since they're doing so well. Hopefully it works the same as past years and they throw us a bone already. The sale stuff is organized by item category (sweaters, pants, skirts, etc.) and then by price, so there's a rack of $70 items and a rack of $30 items and so on.
Remember the goal here is to clear out the Pre-Spring/Spring stuff and motivate you to buy from the late Spring and Summer collections (which will still be full price). Is an item that came out 2 weeks ago going to be on sale? No. Is an item that came out 30 days ago going to be on sale? No. Anthro will still hold true to their sale cycle in almost every case. What this does mean is the items that we've been waiting (and waiting and waiting and waiting) to hit sale are finally likely to do so. There will hopefully be a bunch of 2nd markdowns to look forward to as well. I'm optimistic that the items that were "accidentally" marked down 2 weeks ago will once again be on sale come Tuesday.
We'll still play the Sale Guessing Game on Monday afternoon. Then on Monday night Kim will run by one of her Chicago stores so be sure to check out Anthroholic to see what the scoop is. And come Tuesday morning feel free to wake up with me to see what the full list looks like (be ready to scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll).
Want some tips for the hunt to avoid flowy overload? Here are my plans for Tuesday:
1. Make a list of items you really, really want. I have not-so-patiently been waiting for a bunch of items to go on sale. This weekend I'll be whittling down that list to probably 4 or 5 items that will fill holes in my closet. Will I stick to that list? Who knows, but it will be my starting point.
2. Set a budget. It's really easy to get caught up in the hype of "everyone is buying x item so I must need it too!" or "the deelz are so good I must spend $" or even "this hardly happens so it's worth the splurge". But one hard & fast rule for me these days is to ignore the pack mentality and buy the items that I need (or desperately want) and live vicariously through others for the rest. I've set 2 budgets for myself: the "well this really wasn't such a big deal after all" budget or the "holy crap 40 items I want went on sale, what the hell do I do budget". I will not be going over that 2nd number.
3. Breathe! One of the hardest things for me is that while I'm writing the Sale posts on Tuesday the items I want are quickly depleting in inventory online. I'm sure this affects community members not near a store more than me but nothing is worse than prepping your cart and then finding an item out of stock when you go to checkout. But if there's one thing I've noticed lately with the weird development of people "pre-buying" items on Monday night, it's that almost everything comes back into stock. So if the item you want is sold out on Tuesday morning when you wake up don't despair. You've got a community here of ladies to keep their eyes peeled in stores. And there's a good chance that your item will pop back up online once Anthro's inventory system catches up. So I've learned to be patient (sort of). As much as I loves me some Anthro, it is just clothing.
Before you ask no I have NO IDEA what items are going on sale yet. We'll play the guessing game on Monday, I promise! And I am very much looking forward to it. I can't wait to share in the excitement of scores with everyone. If you have questions please leave them in the comments. I hope you have your pennies saved up.
already see more inventory out today. I didn't follow anthropologie for a long time, so I wasn't sensitive to new/further markdowns. Only noticed there were a lot more sale pieces than last week.
what I saw today was there were more sizes of on sale items which were previously sold out. A SA told me they received some new shipment of items already on sale. I am not sure why there were new shipments. Maybe they gathered leftover from different stores to just several stores?

刚才也去了一下，结果果然看到比平时sale多一些的衣服，然后架子也搭好了，估计要放那些home的东西。我问sales, 她给我眨眨眼睛说"yeah, big sale, a lot of stuff, better come back again tomorrow" 结果居然发现这条裙子，立刻忍不住买了，之前去都没有看见过0号的，估计的确进了新的sales的东西。

[此贴子已经被作者于2010/5/14 21:09:32编辑过]
每个店都有么？
应该是的吧，全国性的
还有如果想PM的话，你买的号没有了还可以PM吗？
这是网上的还是店里的？还是都有？
还有如果想PM的话，你买的号没有了还可以PM吗？
反正你买了后14天之内都可以PM，有号没号都可以吧，我一直是这么理解的。
记得以前有个妹妹贴的an家blog上边有更新，现在找不到了。有妹妹知道link吗？
同问。。。

按往年的规律这个时候应该有大sale，而且昨天我们这安家已经打了sale的大条幅在外面，不过里面的东西和上个星期是差不多的，所以下个星期二肯定是semi annual sale了，我想。
去看看

嗯，昨天经过我们这里的安家，觉得里面的布置已经有些不同了，以前的Sale room都快腾空了。其他的货架也都被挪来挪去了。看来是为下周的sale准备了。
可以吗？那周日先去买些来！ 不见得你买的到时候会都降价吧。我记得碰到过的两次也就是把sale room里面的东西搬到外面来，可能东西多一点，但是价格也是从高到低都有的，有原来就在sale的，也有新Markdown的。
太好了
我公司附近就有一个
到时候溜出去
XDDD

I shop An today, they said it will be sale on coming Tue. almost 1/3 of the store items will be further markdown...
哇！！！1／3的store都mark down啦？天哪！！
为啥之前从来没听说过安家的semi-annual sale啊。。
这个好像不是所有店都有的，只记得个别店有额外40%off的折扣，反正纽约从来没有，只有普通的系统mark down
阿？纽约从来没有呀?
我还打算礼拜二早晨杀过去呢。。。

just called a store and was told that the sale starts tomorrow. no such thing as extra 40% off, but really just more items on sale.

semi annual sale 本来就不是指有extra 40%，就是她家要把spring的东西清仓而已。

请重试...
DC的店说是明天开始。

不知道楼上MM confirm的都是哪个地方的
[此贴子已经被作者于2010/5/17 15:43:42编辑过]
今天去他家问，被告知是周四开始。
[此贴子已经被作者于2010/5/17 15:43:42编辑过]
啊？怎么又变成周四啦？……众说纷纭啊
what I saw today was there were more sizes of on sale items which were previously sold out. A SA told me they received some new shipment of items already on sale. I am not sure why there were new shipments. Maybe they gathered leftover from different stores to just several stores?
有可能，我记得他家的sales跟我说过，好像店之间会互相调货。
i got an email from anthro today, it said there will be a sale tomorrow
MM一定是安家的VIP，我连个email的影子都没见着
