So I have this random talent: an unwavering capability to always find something to buy where fashion goods are sold. This holds true even if the goods are mostly weird, ugly, overpriced, old, etc. The treasures are hidden!
Case in point: one day this week I learned last-minute about a “sample sale” on the 19th floor of my building. Now the term “sample sale” was being used loosely – I would have called it a Cheap Hideous Bag Clearance Event. Nonetheless, I needed a mid-afternoon break so I decided to check it out.
The room was filled with cheaply-made handbags, most of them ghastly. I saw a fake patent satchel that turned from yellow to orange to red (intentionally, as part of the design). I saw a fake cream colored leather bag with lace on the outside, leopard print on the inside, and a huge bow on top (seriously?!). After quickly scanning the room, I was doubtful, but everything was going for only $10 so I poked around for another minute or two.
Score! I found this super-cute oversized canvas clutch with two pockets and cute brown croc-embossed faux-leather detail. It is surprisingly sturdy, with lining and a zip close. Because it was a clutch and not a regular handbag, I walked out with it for only $5. I’m so excited to use this throughout the spring, summer and fall. Because of its neutral color scheme, it’ll match everything, and because of its size, it’ll hold everything as well!
Deals are out there… even when you least expect them!
