The 21st Annual Alexandria Boutique Warehouse Sale is right around the corner, so I wanted to use this month’s article to talk all things sale. This is one of the biggest sales of the year and an incredible opportunity to shop amazing brands and local boutiques at unbeatable prices. I’m going to share how to plan your shopping day to snag the best deals, plus give you a sneak peek at some of my personal favorite pieces that we will be on sale at the shop. Whether you’re a seasoned warehouse sale shopper or a first timer, these are my tips to make this shopping experience a success for both your closet and your wallet.

Kick Off Your Shopping Day with A Solid Plan

If you want to make the most of the Alexandria Boutique Warehouse Sale, I’d recommend starting your day with a little strategy! Since this is a huge end-of-season sale with some seriously deep discounts, many of the items are available in super limited quantities — often just one piece left. To make sure you score your favorites, it’s a good idea to hit your top shops first. That way, you can snatch up those must-have items before they’re gone! Also, don’t forget to consider the proximity of other shops you want to check out when you are planning your day! If you’re visiting us at ERA, you’re in luck — we’re surrounded by some fantastic neighbors. The Hive and Shoe Hive is just around the corner, as well as Monday's Child and She's Unique so you can easily hit all of us without moving the car. And when you need a little pick-me-up (trust me, you’ll need one!), pop into Dolci Gelato next door for one of their delicious lattes to keep you warm and energized while you shop! 

Sale Sneak Peek 

Now I’m going to share a few of my personal favorites that we will have discounted at the Warehouse Sale! First up is the Generation Love Aniston Puffer Jacket. I’m not going to lie, parting with this one at this sale price hurts a little — it’s such a cool jacket and I wear mine all the time. Originally $495, it’ll be just $150 at the sale. This is one of those pieces that’s worth every penny and this sale price makes it a no-brainer. 

Then there’s Celia B. I know the prints can be bold (and sometimes a little funky), but I promise, there’s a reason this brand gets the most attention in the shop. The styles are fun, they make you feel happy, and they are the pieces that get compliments every time you wear them. The Warehouse Sale is the perfect opportunity to venture out of your comfort zone without the investment. I won’t say I told you so when it becomes your new favorite piece in your closet. 

Lastly, let's talk about anything and everything holiday. Yes, the holidays are over and if you're like me, all you can think about is spring prints, beaches and warm weather BUT this is a great opportunity to snag that incredible party dress while it's practically free. Trust me, your future self will thank you when December rolls around and you already have a gorgeous party dress.
