Sample Sale mania

This week there are some great sample sales that you will fancy:

Pros: I went and let me just say that they have a great selection  of past season designs. There are a lot of styles to choose from. Sizes ranging from 2-12. Friendly staff that is there to help you find the perfect dress.

Cons: Be ready to undress in front of everyone. Tiny space, and with the crowds it's hard to get around. Be ready to fight for a garment. Lowest price on a dress is $400 which for LR is cheap, but like my friend said we're in a RECESSION  people!
