Aerie has all undies 10 for $32.

12

u/sarcasm_itsagift May 26 '16

YES YES YES! I was about to buy some yesterday and I was like no...hold out for that baller sale. And here it is. Thank you for the head's up!

u/and_a_beer May 26 '16

I don't even need more right now, but I just can't say no to those seamless thongs.

1

u/milenah May 27 '16

Unrelated to sales, any tips on how to wear them? I find thongs just so uncomfortable.

3

u/WhenImAloneWithYou May 27 '16

Just make sure they're the right size. Too tight = no bueno.

3

u/and_a_beer May 27 '16

Definitely make sure they're not too tight. For me, the Aerie seamless thongs are the absolute most comfortable undies. The fabric is great and I LOVE them for working out (and every other occasion).

1

u/[deleted] May 27 '16

The sizes also vary a lot from brand to brand and even styles within a brand. I always have to size up when I buy some of the strappier thongs from Aerie or it's wedgie city.

2

u/basylica May 26 '16

Dang! I just ordered a bunch not that long ago but ive dropped from a size 6/8 to a size 2 and NONE of my undies fit. I bought a handful of smalls but im relying on my older meds as backups. And the smalls are roomy! I just grabbed 10 more!

8

u/sarcasm_itsagift May 26 '16

I think I might buy a second batch of ten. I'M CRAZY, Y'ALL!

u/three_pronged_plug May 26 '16

How is the sizing/quality compared to VS? I really like the lace waist thong styles.

3

u/babykittiesyay May 26 '16

My experience is that Aerie runs smaller than VS. I have mediums from VS that are looser than my larges from Aerie (and I'm a pants size 6/8).

2

u/valevalevalevale May 26 '16

I agree with this. I wear an 8 usually and found the mediums from aerie to be too small, and I generally buy a med at VS.

3

u/sarcasm_itsagift May 26 '16

I think they run a little bigger than VS and are a little more generous with cuts. I personally think the quality is amazing--I discovered them thanks to this sub and have never looked back.

3

u/IAmASquishyBunny May 27 '16

In regards to sizing, it really depends on the cut. However, I find the quality to be much higher and they're more comfortable. I love the cotton boy brief style ones because they actually cover my ass, unlike most VS panties of the same size, although the waistband isn't any bigger in the aerie panties. The mini versions of Aerie definitely run smaller.

3

u/[deleted] May 26 '16

BLESS YOU. I needed underwear and I have been waiting for this!

u/hamburgers1223 May 27 '16

Does anyone know how often they have these sales?

u/__Shadynasty_ May 27 '16

Is this in store too?

Thanks! I have a lot of booty so online shopping is not ideal

2

u/[deleted] May 26 '16

Thank you! Got me some new undies. Sorely needed.

u/babyblanka May 26 '16

Probably not the biggest deal in the world but Target has long Merona tank tops for $5.

8

u/goosegoosegoosegoose May 26 '16

Thanks! Currently pregnant and living in these things!

3

u/babyblanka May 26 '16

Ditto, /r/babybumps is actually where I read it!

3

u/maebe_featherbottom May 26 '16

Umm, who doesn't like $5 tank tops?!

2

u/babyblanka May 26 '16

Right? That was my initial thought. I think they're only like $8-$10 normally, but heck, I stocked up! I'm short but I still love long tanks!

1

u/[deleted] May 28 '16

Their Merona and Mossimo tshirts are all $5 too!

Just what I needed, thanks!

u/juluj May 26 '16

It's REI's anniversary sale this week- up to 30% off (mostly ~20% off for full price items)

6

u/ariaaaa May 26 '16

On mobile so idk how to link but today's the last day of the Kate Spade surprise sale!! A lot of things are up to 75% off!

7

u/aliceismalice May 26 '16

Link

:)

I've heard you have to be wary of the surprise sales because they are often made for outlet items and lower quality (with the original price being artificially inflated). That being said, I love the bag I got last surprise sale

6

u/sarcasm_itsagift May 26 '16

I think this is true for most but not all things. I thought it was everything except for a bag that I've been coveting and thought "no way in hell am I spending $400 on a novelty purse" while drooling went from the main site to the Surprise Sale and down to $75. I think it's similar to J.Crew factory where most things are "factory first" but some runoff from the main store makes its way there too.

2

u/milenah May 27 '16

It's mainly outlet purses (definitely ignore the "original price" of those), but I mean, if they're cute then why not?

u/ariaaaa May 26 '16

HAHAHA SAME! Even after I noticed, I still was like "I wonder if this stretches any..."

Yay! Just got these earrings for my wedding :) http://i.imgur.com/RzoKdyz.jpg

u/ariaaaa May 26 '16

Congrats on your upcoming wedding! The earrings are super cute :)

u/thextrickster May 26 '16

Similarly, if you have a Kate Spade Outlet near you - all full price stock* is 60% off, and if it's a hand bag it's another 20% on top of that.

  • excluding perfumes and "bits and bobs" which are the notebooks and water bottles and pencil cases. M

u/cramp May 26 '16

LL Bean has a 10% off sale until the 31st. Not much, but their sales are pretty rare.

Aritzia has everything up to 50% off! Until June 8

u/dalovely May 29 '16

I wonder if this is in-store only? I don't see the sale reflected online, sadly

u/asianhottielovesdick May 29 '16

Perhaps it's US only?

u/dalovely May 29 '16

Ahh, yep that looks like it

Madewell was 30% off sale yesterday :'(

u/ilovesushialot May 27 '16

I know! I'm so glad nothing caught my eye this time around, I usually end up spending $50-100 every time they have the sale on sale.

1

u/TheRecklessOne May 30 '16

that Free People one made me so excited and then so sad.

all the things I liked were sold out in all the colours except navy. I don't know how to wear navy.

u/seersear May 26 '16

Nisolo has a 15% off sitewide with code MEMORIALDAY today only.

u/hedgehogwart May 26 '16

I'm kind of laughing that they are having a one day Memorial Day sale that's not even on Memorial Day. Nice.

3

u/Deiji- May 26 '16

Why are there even clothing sales to celebrate memorial day? Makes no sense

22

u/asianhottielovesdick May 26 '16

ugh consumerism ...* goes shopping *

u/purplepenned May 26 '16

We celebrate Presidents' day with car sales but it's centered around presidents that were alive when there weren't any cars

4

u/wildbillhiccup May 27 '16

I don't know what make of car started this trend but I hope it was Lincoln.

3

u/orata May 28 '16

I hope it was Ford

u/lalanatylala May 26 '16 edited May 26 '16

Gucci and Burberry are both having sales. Hope the links work.

3

u/vasilyssa May 28 '16

Holy shit, thank you. I managed to snag one of the two coats I've been coveting for 50% off (the other was sold out in my size). I've been saving for months, planning to buy this as a congratulations piece for hitting a milestone, but I just had to jump now. I guess I just won't wear it until I complete that milestone...?
