How often do they have sales on regularly priced merchandise, and can you count on items in your size being reduced and available later on? Or is it generally a wise idea to pay full when it's available in your size?

I know that the gilet from the Anniversary Sale got marked down pretty quickly, but I don't know if that was the exception or the rule. There are a few r&b items that interest me that are already sold out or nearly sold out in my size on Fwrd, Nordstrom, Shopbop, etc. and I'm not sure whether they'll be restocked, or if I should pounce while I can.

Unfortunately, this season has turned up a number of unanticipated treasures! I feel uncharacteristically excited about the direction my wardrobe is taking, but need to make sure that this isn't a case of big eyes.
