The “everything suddenly back in stock day after sale” thing is really distasteful. It feels like shameless dishonesty even though they can do whatever they want I suppose.

I bought the Monica vinader riva diamond cocktail earrings last night (the ones with five circles hanging down). I thought about them the entire sale and finally pulled the trigger. I had $40 of notes burning a hole in my pocket and obviously those put a HUGE dent in a $600 pair of earrings. :shocked:

I also am on vacation with my sister right now and she came down the stairs this morning wearing the sweaty Betty boucle pullover from the sale. It was completely not on my radar and of course I see it on her and am now desperate for it 12 hours after I can’t get it on sale.

This was a a good year though. I’m really excited about my jewlery, jackets, my EF tee dress, and some kitchen stuff!
 
I have about 20 items on a wish list and nothing has come back in stock! The items that ARE in stock are pop-backs ("only 1 left," "only a few left," etc.)

I had one thing on my wish list and it is not back in the color or size that I want. I suppose some of this is returns, although I know some of it is the way they "do" the sale and what quantities are available at the sale price and what isn't. Eventually, it all goes on sale again...

This was a good year. I was pleased with my haul, it wasn't an whole lot. Website didn't crash, nothing cancelled, and only a few items out of stock.
 
So in the end I spent about as much as last year. I bought zero clothing and shoes--I have too many already! I also ordered and returned some jewelry--Lana earrings and MV necklace. Instead, I focused on Beauty items--Priori LED face mask was my big purchase.

The one big realization for me is that I don't need to be an Ambassador because I'm past the stage of needing trendy items. I've got so much already, I think I'm very close to wardrobe satisfaction!

It's always fun to see everything that everyone's buying. See you all here next year! :flowers:
 
Bummer which items?
The Barefoot Dreams Cabin Cardigan was a disappointment for me. I didn't like how heavy it was and the way it drapes. Because of the cut and weight it didn't seem like it would keep me warm.

The Free People Dare to Dream cardigan was also disappointing. It could've been cute but the pockets weren't the right material for the rest of the sweater so it was weird around the hips. Also because the pockets were too lightweight for the sweater they folded out and looked like lady parts. And I can't handle pockets that look like lady parts, lol.

Also disappointing was the AllSaints Xonda hoodie dress in black. It has a strong saturated dye smell so I felt as soon as I washed it, the thing would get weird streaks of faded color throughout it. Also in black I couldn't really see the details or cut of it so it just looked like an oversized plain hoodie. I did order this in a teal color, also sale but not anni sale, and did like that one better so I'll probably keep the teal.

The rest of my items haven't shown up yet. I'm waiting on a costume necklace and a Sweaty Betty top, a couple Splendid tops. Hoping I have better luck with some of those.
