Pssst! Sharon Young and Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Clothing Sale Sneak Preview — Starts Thursday

Posted on February 2, 2015 | Leave a comment

Just for our readers, we popped over to take a sneak look at the Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale’s first public sale of the year (doors open this Thursday and the sale only runs February 5-7). Once again their sale is packed wall-to-wall with fantastic finds ~ over 18,000 pieces and nothing is over $60!

Here’s the inside scoop to know before you go…

:: The direct from the designer, Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse clothing sale only opens its doors to the public four times a year, and the sale runs next Thursday to Saturday, February 5-7, 2015. Everything is deeply discounted OFF retail, and you’ll find sizes to fit just about anyone ~ from petite to women’s sizes and everything in between.

~ Click on any picture for a closeup view ~

This month’s sale is huge with over 18,000 pieces and even more opportunities to save! Extra discounts will include a fantastic buy one get one FREE surprise deal on Thursday and Friday — this is on top of the already discounted prices!

Here are a few pics of our some of the great finds you’ll see:

:: We found lots of lightweight jackets, sweaters, and tunics in fabulous fabrics, textures, and colors.

:: We fell in love with these winter white lightweight jackets above (both look great with straight leg pants or jeans). These are great transition pieces for moving from our mild Texas winter into the spring. The jacket on the left has an amazing hand carved accent button, and the one on the right has beautiful top-stitched details on the collar and sleeves.

:: You will see row after row of gorgeous embellished and plain pocket Tru Luxe jeans, jean jackets, and lots of fun Tru Luxe casual tops to complete your outfit. The variety is incredible and most of these jeans are at least 60% off retail!

We found just about every jean style in a large choice of fabric patterns & colors — below is a sample of just a few of the styles in this week’s sale.

:: The sale covers a huge selection and variety of styles, from from “running to the grocery store” casual to night-on-the-town dressy and from super trendy to classic favorites. Plus, there is a nice variety of sizes to fit and flatter. Sizes range from Ladies & Petites 2-18 and Womens Plus 1x to 3x.

:: Everything in this sale is 50% to 75% off retail. You’ll find everything you need to complete an outfit including tops, skirts, pants, and jackets from boutique quality and high-end department store designers ~ all $20 to $60.

I hope you are able to make it over to the sale to check it out yourself and grab some bargains, too.

Here’s the information you’ll need, in a nutshell —

Details, details
When: February 5-7, 2015 ~ Thursday & Friday, 8:00AM to 7:00PM and Saturday, 8:00AM to 5:00PM
Where: 10367 Brockwood Rd ~ Dallas. You’ll see signs directing you where to go (or just follow all the ladies you will see!).
Secret Sauce Shopping Tips: You’ll find plenty of dressing room space provided for trying on all your finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only, but not private. Since this is a women only event, men, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home, as you will not be able to visit the sale. Also, they accept all credit cards, cash or checks.

Enjoy and Share! :)
