Sample Fashion Plate

Having a friend who works as a wholesale rep I usually get the scoop about sample sales around the city. On Wednesday night I was eating a pork belly taco at Big Star (to be reviewed soon, trust) and ran into one of my friend’s colleagues who told me about two simultaneous sales at Grand and Leavitt happening the next day. Fighting a bad cold with pork and whiskey, an old Irish remedy learned from my grandmother, I only half listened to his pitch to get me to check out the sales. The next day my friend posted the addresses of the sales on Twitter and I decided that having the details on screen in front of me was the tipping point.

Lines represented included: Tulle, Alternative Apparel, Erica Weiner, Toppin, Mikko, Gentle Fawn, and a lot of others that I didn’t spend very much time digging through. After making two rounds each at both showrooms I was able to find a celery and white striped Mikko scarf for $10 and a plaid Tulle jacket for $34, see link below.
