Barney's Warehouse Sale

This is actually my first time going to Barney's Warehouse sale. I felt like I was entering a secret entrance into a good selection of finds, hopefully. I knew I wouldn't find many things, because I have little patience going through racks and racks of mess. Women and men were waiting in line to get in, and I thought to myself how it must be worth it. As my friend and I enter, I check in my bag and prepare with my wallet. I was definitely not going to drop a lot of money today. (It's called: I have a lot of bills lately.)

We wandered around the first floor of men's apparel. I found no liking to the racks of men's blazers. I feel that my apathy may be that I know I can find great deals at Bergdorf Goodman when the appropriate events come for the high end designers. I can also look to the more affordable Zara, Express, H&M, Guess, and Bloomingdale's for my boyfriend. As for myself, I have already snatched a great deal with some shoes at BG. So, when we were looking in the women's shoes section, I was greatly disappointed. There were the least in selection for the smaller sizes (5-6 1/2). I quickly instructed my fab friend to look for these sexy, sheer black Louboutin shoes that I found in size 9 for a steal of around mid $200's. No 6 1/2-7 to be found. I wasn't surprised. Oh, well. I will invest in a classic pair from BG later.

Craig really wanted to find something for me it seemed. He looked and looked. He cooed over some random pieces of clothing, but I shook my head. I am a pro at finding things that look like they came from somewhere more expensive for the fraction of the price from places like Forever21, H&M, Zara, Express, BG 5th floor (sometimes, but you can get steals during sales as well) and so on. Yup. I don't believe in spending an exorbitant amount of money on clothing unless you're absolutely in love with it or if you see it as a classic/staple piece. That's just me. In my opinion, how much you spend does not label an individual as a fashionable person. It's all in how you put it together and rock it, loves!

 So, I attempted to glance through the racks, but the women in my way did not seem obliged to move. Women can get really focused when they shop, if you know what I mean. 

I'm pretty sure I'm ready to leave after 30-45 minutes or so. (I actually don't know the real time because I was not looking at my iPhone.)  Then, we go back to the small shoe section one last time to see if perhaps a winner missed our eyes. I see a quirky and funky sequined shoe. (I am usually not attracted to sequins.) I pick it up. Marc by Marc Jacobs. Hmm. I do like that brand. 6 1/2. Perfect! It's affordable and cute most of the time. I own a black leather bag that is my declared "default" bag. But, shoes? I haven't bought Marc by Marc shoes yet.

I decide to put them on. They add a bit of sparkle to my skinny jeans. I envision an outfit with these shoes. A black outfit would go nicely with these. I see the price. I'm getting them! (Excuse my summer-colored toes. Can't wait to put the fall nail colors on!!!!)

That concludes my story about the sale. You just have to go in with no expectations. When you do, you will have possibly a range from a great euphoria moment to a mild tickle in your stomach when you do find something you fall for. 

HAPPY SHOPPING!!


**True Story Tidbit: I saw an Asian girl making her assumed boyfriend/husband carry around literally 10-15 single shoes whilst she shops hurriedly. LOL, poor guy.
