What did I get? Well, considering my shopping ban, my options were limited...
So the Babergh Dress finally went on sale, and even though it sold out online I decided to test fate and call CS. If we were meant to be, I would be able to locate one in store. And we were truly meant to be, because it took me all of 5 minutes to find one in New York.
Anthropologie Babergh Dress (now $89.99, sold out online)
Readers, I just could not let this dress pass me up! I love, love, love it. But when I tried it on, there were definite fit issues up top which would require alterations. At the time, I was not willing to pay the full $188 plus alterations costs. But a 50% price slash, sealed the deal.
But I am on a shopping ban, so how can I pull this off? Well, it just so happens that the Rensselaer T-Straps also went on sale. I bought these ages ago full price. Since they made it to sale in my size (which I never thought would have happened), I will be able to get a PA*. And the PA will cover the cost of the dress! So no money spent, and I am still within my shopping ban.
Woohoo!
Anthropologie Rensselaer T-Straps (now $70)
*Note: Not all stores/SAs are willing to do this. But I am lucky in that the SA's at the BMs I go to are generous. I have to show that my size is actually available at sale price (which sometimes means purchasing it again at the sale price).
