Hi, just got back from the sale! I left my apartment this morning at 7:30 and got down there at 8:50. There were 7 people ahead of me on line, including an elderly woman who'd been there since 5:00 am! We all waited until they opened at 10:00 and then, the fun began.

They only let 20 people in at a time. We were shown into an elevator that took us upstairs to the room. They made us check our bags; we were only allowed to have wallets and cell phones on the floor. I wanted to take pictures for my blog but, they said no. They gave everyone a large white shopping bag and said it was to be our "shopping cart." So, anyway, here's what they had: shoes, boots, handbags (all of which were ugly), small leather goods, men's and women's clothing, and, of course, scarves. I was going to get a scarf but, I only wear small ones, tied around the neck. These were bigger, almost shawl size. I picked up a leather-encased pocket mirror and thought about getting that. Then I saw the clothing and finally decided on a skirt. It's a simple, blue wool slim skirt that will never go out of style. I always try to get something practical when buying desinger, so I can make sure I get my money's worth.

It really wasn't that crowded at all, probably because the day is so crappy (I got caught in the rain on my way to the subway.) I could have waited and gone later.
But, I'm glad I got to go. Thanks, again, Jennifer!:D

Camera phone?! I'm such a techno-phobe! I can take pics with my phone but don't know what to do after that.

The bags were all dark and dreary canvas things. Ugh!

Demi

Maybe next time you will find a cute bag :)
