Paul & Joe and Karen Millen sample sale started today. Link for details here .
It has to be said that I love a sample sale. I could never afford a wardrobe filled with as many beautiful pieces as I have if I'd had to pay for them, you know, in a shop. When I was working outside the home, I used to glance wistfully at the ads for the Spencer & Rutherford sales but that was all I knew about.
Then I (a) was no longer constrained by working full time (b) subscribed to MissyConfidential and (c) started spending time on the Vogue forums Sale and Discount Outlets section. Suddenly there were constant sales I itched to attend. I became very familiar with the back streets of Richmond and Collingwood. Anywhere industrial, looking for the determined girls striding up the street with a purpose.
Today was one of my favourite sales, the Paul & Joe one. Nowhere near as good as last time and I only came away with a glorious blue patent handbag marked as faulty. Only one stud loose from the main frame which a bit a superglue will fix in a jiffy. $350 down to $79. Very pleased.
But the real bargain was this:
They had two racks of denim; dark blue, pale blue, green, grey, white. All small sizes but if you can sift through and find what you like, a real bargain!
