Kate Starr's cheap date with Barney

In addition to the previous post, I wanted to point out a few things about the Barney's Warehouse Sale...

By all means it is a great sale: prices are slashed, designer duds are to be had, and there's even a circulating shuttle that will pick your ass up from the very end of the parking lot! BUT...
do not go there thinking it will be a designer all you can find buffet. There are huge markdowns, but the majority of these mondo sized discounts, are only prevalent on the very most expensive designer shoes, bags, clothes etc. So yes you can get Louboutins for 1/2 off, the $1500 dollar pair that is. As for the $200 dollar Marc by Marc Jacobs sweater? ...You'll find more like 20% off. Not such a biggie huh? All in all it was pure mayhem, no dressing rooms, and the racks are endless....I'm still at odds deciding whether it is really that great of a sale. It was perhaps the most chaotic sale I've ever attended, and the fruits of labor don't seem so abundant. I can see how some may really love this event, and how some may hate it. Our second chance at love with Barney's Warehouse Sale awaits on the horizon, and we shall proceed.
