Great Sale Rack Finds.

[PhoenixAzul]

What is your greatest sale/clearance rack find to date? Got pics?

Last night BF dragged me into Banana Republic, where I rarely shop because basically, I can't afford it and the stuff usually isn't my style. I was just poking around, and saw this beautiful sort of bronze/orange dress. Picked it up, hey, it's my size! Hey, it's on sale. Originally had been $118...now, $35!!! Tried it on..fits like a glove. Sooo happy. I just had my wisdom teeth taken out yesterday, but a little retail therapy heals a lot.

This is the dresss:


Muwhaha.

My recent finds include a suit that was originally $200 something and it had a sale sticker on the tag that said $29.99. It rang up as $80, but I challenged the clerk at Macy's and she gave it to me for $29.99.

That day I also got a pair of black capris for $10 and 2 belts, one for $8 and one for $4 - all on sale. I think I need to go shopping in Philadelphia more often.

P.S. That is a cute dress!

I got a pair of HOT black, patent leather, strappy wedge sandals from Dolce & Gabbana for $68. Original price $545.

Best ever find was a $200 Ralph Lauren dress for like $40.

Oh yea, I also got a $600 Yves Saint Laurent shirt for like $8 at Off Fifth once.

This was back in 2002. But it was a gorgeous skirt from Ann Taylor that had been reduced from over $100 to about $30.

And even though orange is not my best color, I would grab that dress off the rack immediately if I found it at such a price. It's not just cute- it's HOT!

Why buy a dress in a color that doesn't look good on you? I just don't get that.

That's true. It IS hard to find orange socks.

For some reason, strange colours like orange and bright green look good on me. My prom dress was a very strange lime green color...I loved it. That dress is going to give me fits trying to find shoes. I think I might go with bronze.

Nope, it is because I am a Winter and thus "cool" colors (blue, green, purple) look better on me. But I have had orange/peach clothes before.

Jealous. I love Fendi. I have one skirt from there, but I definitely want to branch out.

Best deals:

$10 work pants at Ann Taylor. Perfect tan color, lined, etc. Bought all the pairs in my size. Originally $98.

Anything bought at the Lilly Pulitzer warehouse sale- recently a $228 dress for $90. Skirts $50.

BEST OF ALL:

Roberto Cavalli dress similar to one that Britney Spears wore pre-Federline. On clearance rack at Neimans.............$35!!!! For a multihundred dollar dress. Very sexy black lace. Worn in my very thin days.

Recent find, Kate Spade Alexis wedge sandals...$295 to $115 at the Kate Spade friends and family sale.

I love going to American Eagle and getting t-shirts for around $5-6 a piece on clearance. I refuse to buy really nice clothes until I graduate, because no matter what I do, I get ink everywhere.

As far as designer great finds...I found a Gucci purse at Goodwill over the summer for I think $1.50. I thought it was a fake, but it's made really well. I showed it to a woman who can tell fakes and she said she was about 90% certain it was real. Even if it is fake, not bad for $1.50. Although it is kinda ugly.

Is Banana republic still doing their summer clearance? I love love love BR skirts
