You don't know the half of it.
Not only have I formed a strategy to get my hands on the last year's worth of catalogs (more on that later), but in the last two weeks or so, I discovered that Ms. Anthropologie Addict has links to old catalogs posted in her sidebar. Which led to me spending hours on my lap top Friday night scouring the old 'logs and getting inspired.
It wasn't until a few days later, while reading another Anthro die-hard's site, that I realized that I could search eBay for older Anthro items. You are all probably thinking, um DUH. But since most items from my favorite store are named and not listed by brand, it can be rather challenging to find specific items.
Since my grand revelations I have been able to find treasures such as the fabulous S'more Striped Cardigan from the June 2008 catalog:
Which will go perfectly with my Staystail Shirtdress (purchase here) I bought in December.
I was able to score this pair of Seychelles wedges that I've been dying for, but were WAAY out of my price range, for only $44.
And I've got my eye on a few other items...
What about you? Do you utilize eBay for items that you missed out on in stores? Or do you mainly use it for getting discounted items?
I'm loving their "watch" option, where you can add an item to your list and see if anyone is buying it, or wait and see if it (or something like it) gets re-listed. They even send notifications right to your e-mail!
Anyway, that's all I have for today. Happy Wednesday!

I may or may not do the same thing with Fossil and their Fifty-Four line. Hey we all have our vices.
It's good that you are finding deals though because man that Anthro stuff can be pricey. We don't have Antho here, but when I went to Portland I got the CUTEST butter dish.
I'm always trying to find Forever 21 things that have sold out in my size on Ebay . . . never bought any though!
Seriously, you and I are so alike! I recently scoured the old Anthro catalogs and found some hidden gems! I use eBay often too when I have a name of an item! Great resourses!!!
I've found a couple of my favorite pieces by stalking eBay. My denim swing jacket from Anthropologie, for one. And, a J.Crew sweatshirt type thingy.
You might need to start an Anthro 12 Step Program.

Dude. As soon as you said "Smores cardigan" I knew EXACTLY what you were talking about! I can't believe that was from June 2008 -- where does the time go!? But yeah, I remember tearing that page out of the catalog and thinking the outfit was the cutest ... and then I bought a similar red & white striped cardigan from Old Navy. So funny! I love that you are going to pair the cardi with that dress. Very adorable!
I love that you're just now discovering Ebay, you're too precious!
