Inspired by many of you, I also did a look back over the last couple of years to see what I ended up keeping long-term. It’s not much!

*Allsaints Balfern - bought 2 in the sale, black and pink. Love them both to death, wear them constantly.

*Olaplex & Oribe - the sets are always an amazing deal, I stock up.

*On Cloudflow running shoes - I have beat the heck out of these from last year and they still look good. Much better buy than the Adidas of years past.

*Zella Amazing crewneck sweater - comfiest thing ever, love the pockets. For chilling, not meant to be flattering lol.

*Caslon hooded leather moto jacket - this was from like 2018? And still going strong in my closet.

*Barefoot Dreams socks for gifting, and cardigans, also always a good buy but I have so many now haha.


Like many of you, I’ve come to realize the clothing selection has left a lot to be desired re: longevity. Many of the items pilled so terribly after just one wash (looking at you, Halogen cardigans) and at $50 an item it’s just nowhere near worth it. Won’t even mention the $250 polyester shirts :P

I have found so many items on super sale later on that for me, it’s only worth stocking up on the consumables and maybe a higher-end staple piece that isn’t made for the sale (like the black Balfern). Always famous last words, though…let’s see what the sale has in store this year :lol:

I definitely feel the denim, coats, undies, bras, sleepwear and Zella joggers have stayed in my closet. Even some tops and the Longchamp bag. Also the Ecco booties. Oh and some costume jewelry and the throw blankets. OK I guess I have done pretty well with my choices so far.

I’m bummed they didn’t have Birkenstocks last year but on the Birkenstock website they always have good sales.

I’m really interested to see the preview because I’m not really needing anything so it will be a couple of special items. I’ve gotten so much on sale the past six months that I have everything I need. (Famous last words)

I’d like to try the Cloudflow sneaks this year. Do they run true to size?

I regret returning my Carlson moto jacket. I’m hoping they have it again this year.

Love the Baeefoot socks. They are THE BEST. Totally recommend them.
 
I’ve been on this thread for like 15+ years, and this is the latest I’ve ever checked it. That’s embarrassing.

My life got flipped upside down this Spring when my mom started and kept having unexplained strokes & then she died last month. I’ve been numbing by buying a ton of beauty products.

I’m going to go through my closet and do a serious purge this week.

I imagine this year’s Anniversary Sale haul for me is going to be heavy beauty, replacement undies, and maybe a couple blankets for upstairs. I think I want a NuFace & maybe the red light mask. Also Charlotte Tilbury. Might splurge on a small bag too. Who knows.
So sorry for your loss. Lost my Mom 7 years ago. Hugs!
 
Based on what we’ve seen so far seems like a lot of trends are carrying through from last year. I have good lug sole boots from last year. Pink being popular is great because I have pink cloudrunners from On from last year and pink ultra boost adidas from two years back. I’d like to say it’ll be a low spend year but I know me.
