Don't Miss Sample Sales From Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Jason Wu and Yumi Kim

Around the holidays, it’s all about who’s been naughty or nice. Today we’re looking at things a little bit differently: through a fashion lens, of course. Below we’ve rounded up sample sales that’ll have you looking either preppy and proper or sexy and vixen-acious. The choice is yours, but we recommend a healthy balance of both.

Vera Wang is hosting a bridal sample sale with wedding gowns up to 75% off! The sale will feature bridal, evening and mother-of-the-bride dresses. In addition to wedding gowns, you  can shop for bridal accessories, including veils and sashes. No need (we hope) to tell you that Vera Wang collections are known for sophisticated drama, feminine detailing and a modern approach to bridal design.
