I think I’ve mentioned a thousand times before that the Fashionista works for Urban Outfitters, a division of Anthropologie. One of the perks of being an employee is that a few times a year they have employee appreciation which in my opinion is like close to winning the clothing lottery. Employees and eligible users (IE immediate family members) get 40% off of merchandise. This includes items already marked down.
Yes, you can hate me.
You also now know my secret. I generally ONLY purchase things that are already marked down and then get an additional 40% off. Like this blouse. I’ve been stalking it for a few months.
I’m thinking of paring it with a red skirt and blue and white spectator pumps or white Bermuda shorts and silver sandals.
I had noticed that in addition to the Urban, Anthro, and Free People websites they also included another site that was offering an employee discount. Terrain.
Here’s your notice that Anthro has come up with yet another way to torture people. Because even at 40% off I still can’t afford any of it. Still, sometimes it just fun to look. (Who am I kidding? 🙂

You lucky! Love that apron, I thought it was a dress! {It would make a cute dress though}. I'll be watching this week to see what you tease us with!

My daughter use to work for Anthro' and I SO SO miss that little card that got me the discount. We were there this weekend buying a gift and told her I still haven't forgiven her for quitting, even if it was to go to law school!

Loveeeeeee this post… how nice it would be to get those home decor items — but IKEA did take a huge chunk of my paycheck yesterday — so thinking the shopping will stop for now! LOL!!!
Jane says
Cute post! 40% off would be hard to resist for sure! That sweet apron really does look like a dress:)
Catherine Holman says
What a cute apron! I'm praying for your family.

I am completely focused to this weeks drawing and excited, too. This special they have for employees is super wonderful wish I were a part but my pocketbook would remind me of the budget. I hope you get the blouse, it is very pretty with the stripes and polka-dots.
Have fun shopping with the fashionista.
BLessings,
Darlene

praying for you, today.

Love the blouse – it will look terrific with either ensemble you mentioned. Really love the nine drawer console – I could so use it for cross-stitch supplies! And the distressed cabinet. And the bottle chandelier. And the wire basket… Who am I kidding?! I want it all! (sigh) Can't wait to see your teasers all this week.

That top looks like it will become a 'go to' piece in your closet! It's great that these companies come up with the homeware designs for us to copy. lol ~ Maureen

Soooo cute! I'm in love with those same places, but the cost of the products…. I just can't unless they're on sale. Urban Outfitters is one of Sarah's favorite places, but we don't go there very often because it's hard for me to say no to my girl. 😉
Can't wait to see what else you'll be offering in the giveaway. I love aprons and all sorts of goodies. You're such a sweetheart.
Have a blessed week,
Linda
Jill Elaine says
How fun for you that you get included in the 40% off!! That is a great perk:)
That message in a bottle chandi – you totally need that! Do you know anyone who does metalwork? I know a good welder could reproduce the metal part and you could round up your own bottles. I know you could recreate this!!!
Jennifer Watkins-Jones says
What a fun way to shop!! I love to find bargains and still get a discount on them. The apron is gorgeous. You have wonderful taste. =) Hope you have rested up from your week of partying with your grandmother!
Have a wonderful Monday!
Pamela R says
Oooh I love that console and the seafoam cabinet! What beautiful items! And that shirt, omg, you are lucky gal!
Shelia says
Hi Laura! Love your pretty new header! Oh, 40% is a good thing and I love that blouse you've picked out! Yep, I'd love some of those pricey things, but if I could afford them, where would I put them? 🙂
Thanks so much for popping in to see my little Mother's Day ornies.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉

We are the same, never buy anything unless it's absolutely super sale especially in a store like Anthropologie! i just went to their store on Saturday and scored a $19 dress that used to be $159! Ka-Ching! 🙂
Miss Sandy says
I still have not had time to get into the city for a visit to the new Anthro store there! Love all your the items on your wish list, I wish you would be able to have them all!
The blouse is so beautiful and versatile, you will look great in it.
I am kind of drooling over that apron.
Hope your week is filled with joy, kindness, and an extra special blessing or two tucked in for good measure.
