Spring fashions are officially on sale, and who doesn't LOVE a sale? Why pay full price if you don't have to? And these days, the good stuff doesn't come without the hemorrhaging of many shekels and much teeth gnashing. Louis Vuitton NEVER goes on sale, and except at Barney's, Alaia (much beloved by fashionistas) will not not make it into the marked down brigade. Pretty much all else is subject to price slashing, EVEN Chanel! We should all take advantage whilst we can.
I've been perusing a wonderful resource for sales items, www.net-a-porter.com, for covetable fare. Numerous runway pieces are strewn throughout this website, many still tres cher despite the inital markdown, inluding entries from Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana. I decided to include the relatively reasonably priced blouses, skirts, dresses, jackets, vests and pants that include stand out staple pieces (who doesn't need a good hearty or luxurious trench?), kicky pieces (such as a fuchsia leather biker jacket) that will add zest to your wardrobe, and a series of gorgeous evening attire. These are only the first mark downs, so, if in doubt, wait just a little longer for guilt free shopping!
