Aritzia Warehouse Sale - Round 3 and 4

I keep telling myself to stop but I honestly cant stay away. The past couple years I've been able to stay away from this sale, even when I went I didn't buy anything the past two years. But for some reason this year has been my year. I have found so many great things this year. Everything I bought so far I wanted in stores at one point but I couldn't justify the price in stores.

 

Round 3 findings (Friday, August 30th):

 

1. Babaton Finnegan Blouse in Black - $14.99 originally $98

found here (sold out)

 

2. Babaton Bowie Tank in Mint - $9.99 originally $35 

buy here (sold out in mint)

Round 4 findings (Saturday August 31st)

 

1. Babaton Finley Blouse in Black- $14.99 (originally $115)

buy here

I already know this one is just like the Finnegan Blouse but with sleeves, but I couldn't pass it up for the price, I've lusted after this top since its come out and I couldn't believe someone else passed on it. I had to get it...

2. Rag and Bone Plush Jeggings in black - $19.99 (originally $210)

buy here

These are so incredibly soft, again I can't believe someone passed on it. They are such a steal and essential.

 

 

 

I will post up actual photos tonight when I get home, but I just wanted to share what I found and encourage whoever is reading this to go ! Prices and the crowds and dropping significantly !

 

I went both days around 12pm and didn't have to wait in any sort of line !

 

Do I know I'm addict? yes, Will I go at least one more time? yes, Will I blog about it ? most likely :).
 

What's my tally so far ?

My total retail is $1529.92 (w/tax)

I've actually spent $391.91 (w/tax)

I've saved $1138.01

 

craziness.

 

 



The Aritzia Warehouse Sale - Round 2 !

I couldn't stay away...

I had work off to today and went to the sale around 11am and found some amazing things !

The sale is definitely worth going to especially if you are willing to wait for the new things to come out of stock room. Girls were crazy but were nice at the same time :). 

Left: Beige Mackage Kenya Leather Jacket in x-small for $199 (retails for $575!)

This was a steal, the girl that originally had it tried it on and put it back on the rack, I thought it wasn't my size but when I looked I was thrilled !

Right: Wilfred lace tank in xx-small for $9.99 (retails for $70)

Another steal and another girl just put it back !

Lace top:

I calculated what I have spent so far (this trip and Tuesday's trip) versus what the retail prices are and I have to say I did really good. 

Total retail (with tax) = $1016.96

Total spent (with tax) = $323

Total saved = $693.96

I still can't I found the coat in my size, I am so in love. I will definitely be going back one more time before it ends, maybe twice !

The Aritzia Warehouse Sale 2013

Photo from Mallvibes

Today I went to the highly anticipated Aritzia Warehouse Sale with my lovely sister. As the photo above states it opened at 8am. We me being the crazed shopper we are I am woke up at 5:30 and got to the Vancouver Convention Centre at 6:45.  There were a lot of people in front of us but even more behind us !

What I wore:

Cargo Jacket from H&M, Plain White Tank and Black Jeggings from Citizens of Hummanity 

I like to keep things simple, with only one large dressing room and having to check my bag I like to bring and wear the minimal and bring the absolute minimal to avoid bag check.

What I scored:

Left: Tinsley Blouse originally $98 I bought it for $39.99

Right: Bergen Blouse originally $165 I bought it for $39.99

Stock photos because mine don't do them justice.

Overall I think that the sale was worth it, they had tons of stock and tons of great items. Although I wanted more, I am extremely happy with my purchases.

My tips if your planning to go:

1. Go early 

Not only do you get first dibs you get a cleaner environment. By the time me and my sister left things were EVERYWHERE. 

2. Dress appropriately

Again there is only 1 change room with limited room and mirrors. Your going to have to change with a ton of other girls. I even saw people strip on the sales floor !

3. Set a budget

It so easy to get caught up in the sale and forget about everything else. Many times you end up spending way more then expected.

 4. Justify purchases

Just because its on sale doesn't mean you need it. 

I've regretted so many of my purchases in the past 

5. Bring only what you need 

If you can get away with just your credit card and key just bring that. You have to check your bag at the door and really that just slows you from getting in.
