Athleta Sale Baby!

It's finally arrived. The week of the awesome, possum, over the top Athleta warehouse sale. If you've never experienced this event- put it on your To Do List right now. Everything is basically ~$5-$40. It's Fri (9-6), Sat (9-6) & Sun (10-2). It's at the Washington Square, 389 South McDowell Blvd (in the old Mervyn's Building).

I will warn you however that this sale is not for the meek hearted. There are some SERIOUS shoppers and it can be a frenzy indeed. So I'll list a few tips I plan to use at the sale.

Tip #1: Wear base layers that let you try on clothes right there so you don't have to go to the fitting room (area). I plan to wear just a cami, a flowy short skirt, and flip flops. Also, don't wear make up- you don't want to have to worry about getting foundation, etc, on the clothes.

Tip #2: Bring a small bottle of water & a dry snack. Treat this sale like a workout- you need to stay hydrated and replenished :)

Tip #3: Create a list of what you're looking for. You need to go into this thing with tunnel vision, otherwise you'll leave with 3 pairs of ski pants, 8 swim suits & 6 dresses you'll never end up wearing.

Tip#4: Break your list down into these areas because this is how they have it set up at the sale: tops, pants/capri's, shorts, skirts/skirts, dresses, sweaters, ski wear, shoes, accessories, bra's, jackets, sweaters & swim wear ( I may have missed a group- so sorry if i did). If you have time, look at their stuff online so you know what you're looking for.

Tip #5: Before you head to the check out line, go through every item in your bag. Ask yourself 'Do I really need this, or am I just getting this because some nice lady said it looked cute on'.

I worked setting up for the sale this morning (see my pic!), and there is A LOT of great stuff there. Yikes. Can't wait though!
