My name is JGIWC and I am a bargain-aholic.
It's true. I love a good sample sale. I live for Neimans Last Call. I get a thrill from digging through racks and piles to find that perfect Tracy Reese dress for 85% off. I hope you don't think I purchased my Chloe dress for the retail price of $1425. Oh no, no, no, no, NO!
The truth is I have never shared my secret because I was almost ashamed. I'm not sure why; perhaps part of me feels like I have somehow cheated the system. I have all of these beautiful clothes and I'm not suffering for paying the cost. But as aforementioned, all is fair in love and shopping. And I just can't hide my love affair with bargain hunting anymore!
A Milly dress I bought at a sample sale. Actual retail price? $330. Actually paid? $4.
4 bucks!!! That is ridiculous!!
ReplyDeleteI am quite the bargin hunter myself! I just got a pair of TB revas at the SAKS outlet for $86 and I was beyond thrilled!
Cute dress!
ReplyDeleteNice to hear you appreciate a great bargin!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya - right there with ya on that one!!!
ReplyDeleteLast fall I scored a pair of Coach wedges for like $95 or something like that - retail price was $245.
That's why we're planning a trip to DAFFY'S, darling. I will pack a picnic lunch for us to regain our strength after too much strenuous shopping. Complete with butterscotch scones. LOVE YOU!
ReplyDeleteshuttup $4 - take me with you!! xxoo
ReplyDeleteWow! I just posted about finding a deal on a Lilly dress from the jubilee collection at saks for $150 off. However, I don't think I have ANYTHING in my closet that comes close to that deal all I can say is WOW! and do share!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is adorable! I'm so jealous you got such a good bargain. I love a good bargain but can be a little impatient when I "have to have" something
ReplyDeleteAmazing bargain! Lucky you. And the dress looks great on you, too!
ReplyDeleteDesigner clothing at bargain prices is the best thing ever! Best I ever did was Dolce And Gabbana jeans at$35.00 though. I have never seen Chloe at any of my haunts!Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI am very very jealous of your 4 dollar Milly dress! Wasn't that one seen on gossip girl on blair?
ReplyDeleteOh my God...you need to continue to share this with us...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic post (my fav so far!!!)
You must be missing an "0" behind that "4". Seriously!???? I need to hire you out. Xoxo-BLC
ReplyDeleteShare your shopping secrets!!! Please :)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS! I love bargains too! I'm totally gonna read your blog more now to get your tips! I usually don't read peoples blogs very often if I know they always pay full price, because it makes me too jealous....but this is great! I LOVE A BARGAIN! Thanks for confessing! That is an amazing dress and the price is even more amazing!!!
ReplyDelete$4.00!!!! That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a big fan of Last Call. More so than Saks Off 5th. Not sure why just not as great of a selection at the one here in Michigan.
Wow! That is incredible for that cute dress. I love Milly!
ReplyDeletelucky duck! now, if only i was a sample size too, things would be much easier!
ReplyDeleteAin't no shame or blame in bargain shopping ... that's one of the great loves of my life! Nice deal on the dress!!!
ReplyDelete$4? I had no idea this kind of fairy tale existed. i think i need to send you my sizes and a $5 budget!
ReplyDelete$4??? Lucky! I love a good bargain!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, i never comment, but today I came here with a purpose lol. You say all the time how you looooove Miami. Well I've been accepted to University of Miami and NYU. I'm torn! Bid in please, where do you think I can get the best college experience? Help help!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm moving to New York for the summer (in less than a week!) to work for a big law firm, and I'm pretty sure that 99% of why I'm so excited is access to SAMPLE SALES!

ReplyDeleteAwesome score! One of my favorite shirts is a raspberry-pink Ralph Lauren Polo (with the green horseman, natch) that I nabbed for $3.
ReplyDeleteOT: I'm reading "Aunt Patti's" book and it's FABULOUS! It's changing my attitude...and hopefully my life! ;-)
