Badgley Mischka Sample Sale: Definitely Not To Be Missed

9 April 2013

OMG at the risk of sounding like a kid in a candy store, I must try to curb my enthusiasm. First, I got a gorgeous pale pink perforated leather top, one of only a handful. And since I went to report my findings to you fashionistas out there and not necessarily to buy, I now find myself having to make another trip to the Badgley Mischka sample sale to scoop up as much as I can.

So I got there at 11:30 am on the first day of the sale and there was thankfully no line. Same friendly staff from the DKNY sale, a familiar face is always nice. Bags and coat check still in effect.

I’ll start with the skirts; totally fab. If you’re like me and have been searching for skirts which hit the knees, at the very least, then you’ve picked the right sale. There were midi pencil skirts in various colors; grey, beige, pink, orange, etc. Also available were bodycon skirts that I will most definitely pick up in my size and these came in beige and also in black.

The dresses were a sight for fashion loving eyes, with every style imaginable, in a variety of textures and fabrics. Short dresses for hot summer days and nights. Long gowns for your next gala, graduation, wedding, or red carpet appearance. If you need a dress anytime soon…or not, this is the place to get it. The sizes run up to 14 in the gowns and up to 12 in the shorter dresses. The truth is I think this sale is all about the abundance of dresses. So many options, for every possible occasion.

There was also a selection of pretty sleeveless tops and a smaller selection of long sleeve tops. A few jackets dotted the racks, such as a long sleeve white jacket with jewels encrusted to the front. Anyone in the market for a spring leather jacket may get lucky with the green bomber jacket I spied. The leather pieces available stood out because they were so few, yet at great prices.

And lest I forget the Judith Leiber clutches and bags. They’re the right accessory to compliment any dress that you pick . These chic clutches come in a variety of styles and colors (nothing bright). My favorite was the white snakeskin print clutch.

Also, note that all sales are final. Then again at these prices any thing which doesn’t fit (if you have an aversion to the open dressing room available) would make a great gift. I guarantee it’ll be appreciated.
