If there is a brand that you truly love, a brand that you constantly just drool over, a brand of clothing that you only wish you could own - well... YOU CAN! Look out for sample sales. Everything was 70% off at the Theory/Helmut Lang sample sale I went to yesterday. I finally bought things that I have been eyeing for a while, but could not afford that were thankfully there!
I managed to snag a ticket last minute! Ticket? For what you may ask. This ticket allowed me to be one of the very first customers at the sample sale because it was not yet open to the public. Without this ticket, I would have had to wait it out until it was open to everyone.
If you're wondering how I got these tickets, I got them off Gilt Groupe. If you have not yet heard about this website, get on it! All you have to do is sign up (for free of course) at gilt.com and you will gain access to tons of discounts off designer brands.
But sample sales are not the only way to save on designer names. Bluefly.com ("the ultimate hook-up for the fashion obsessed") is an online retailer that sells designer clothing at discount prices as well as theoutnet.com. The Outnet is considered Net-a-porter's online fashion outlet. There are definitely more out there, so I will post an updated list of discounted retailers as well as a list of popular online retailers on where to buy the best designer brands out there in a later post!
