SNEAK PREVIEW: Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Clothing Sale ~ Starts November 15

Bookmark and Share 

A little reminder: our favorite Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale starts the next week! This huge, direct from the designer warehouse clothing sale only happens 4 times a year and runs for 3 days (Thursday, Nov. 15 through Saturday, Nov. 17). Everything in the sale will be marked down 50% to 75% OFF retail. They have sizes to fit just about anyone ~ from Petite to Women’s sizes and everything in between.

Here’s a sneak preview of our visit…

A few days ago, I jaunted to Dallas to get a peek at the sale and take some pictures for our readers. The fall warehouse sale is packed full of rows and rows of gorgeous fall and transition-to-winter fashion bargains.  I love the texture and colors featured throughout this year’s collection ~ bright, but definitely fall season. 

Some of my favorite finds were the “Texas-weight” jackets (for those crisp, but not-cold-enough-for-gloves days),  Tru Luxe Jeans at 50% off retail, and the oh-so-fashionable (and figure forgiving) ponchos in lots of styles.  I especially love all the attention to detail in these high-end department store quality fashions.

Check out the fabulous button details on the tailored blue jean
jacket sleeves above (love!).  The finishing on the inside with the
plaid piping on the seams adds fun pizzazz, too.

The November 15-17 sale will feature thousands of discounted items from Sharon Young, Multiples, City Girl, Tru Luxe, and more  designer brands at big discounts. Prices start at $20 and the most expensive items (dresses and jackets) are $60.

In a nutshell, here’s what you will find at the sale:

  • Over 18,000 gorgeous ladies clothing pieces, 50 to 75% OFF retail.  There is a huge selection that covers a wide variety of styles from trendy to traditional and from casual to dressy.  These are gorgeous top designer quality collections carried in high-end department stores and fashion boutiques ~ you’ll find them at this designer warehouse sale at a fabulous discount.
  • Ladies, Petite and Plus Sizes ~ something for everyone! Sizes range from Ladies & Petites 2-18 to Women’s Plus 14W-24W.
  • Half price designer fashions from: Sharon Young, City Girl, Multiples, A La Carte, Vicente, Tru Luxe and more. You will find rack after rack of beautiful clothes and everything to complete an outfit including tops, skirts, pants, and jackets.

   

Details, details
When: November 15-17, 2012 ~ Thursday & Friday, 8:00AM to 8:00PM
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!).
Do note: There is a large dressing room provided for trying on all your finds, but typical of women’s fashion warehouse sales, it is ladies only and not private. Since this is a women only event, husbands, guy-friends and kiddos under 12, please stay comfortable at home. 

Enjoy and Share! :)
