There was a time when I wouldn't even consider shopping for designer duds. Couture is a thing of fashion magazines and runways, 5th Ave. and Rodeo Dr. Well, it seems that the door to couture has not been completely slammed in our face. We do not have to feel like.. the unlikely, "pretty woman" type, when we browse the virtual aisles from our laptop or the crowded aisles of an outlet store. Sure there are designers selling untouchable little gems (an LV Rep told me there is no such thing as a "sale item" at Louis Vuitton) but many designers have made themselves more accessible to the 99.
Numerous websites feature tons of designer threads at surprisingly slashed prices. Ok, when a $5000 handbag is slashed down to $2500 I'm not in the market, though I still can't help but say, "Wow! What a deal.." It's easy to feel that way when the "50% OFF" is clarified for you in red. I am however, fooling myself if I think that that is a "Deal".. for me.. in the big picture. That is more like a.. I'm going to lose my car and get evicted kind of deal. The point is that you will still see some high prices on these sites but they are among a huge range of prices that let a lot more fashion hungry people in on the fun, so to speak.
Two weeks ago I found my own little gem on Overstock.com It was later featured on the Today Show ; D
These are the Top 4 sites that have been wowing me! They do "limited time" sales that usually last 3 or 4 days but there are new ones all the time. You do have to "sign up" but they're free and they just want your email address. Worth the extra mail.
