Preview The Sharon Young & Ladies Designer Brand Clothing Warehouse Sale — Starts Thursday

Posted on February 3, 2014 | Leave a comment

As promised, we popped over to the Ladies Designer Brand Warehouse Sale to get some sneak pics for you. I hope you enjoy the preview…

This wonderful 3-day sale only opens its doors 4 times a year ~ it starts this week and runs Thursday through Saturday (Feb. 6-8). You’ll find everything at deep discounts ~ up to 75% OFF retail, and they have sizes to fit just about anyone ~ from petite to women’s sizes and everything in between.

Here are a few pictures of what we found:

~ Click on any picture for a closeup view ~

:: Ladies, this is going to be a great sale! I brought home several new favorites from this Winter Resort collection sale ~ perfect pieces for this transition season. Some of my “must take home” bargain finds came from the huge selection of super flattering “slim-sation” pants and jeans in lots of colors and textures (these have a little inside tummy smoothing panel that make you look a size smaller ~ all slim-sation styles are on sale for $40, regularly $74). This sale also features more than two full rows of Tru Luxe embellished jeans at 60% off retail, an abundance of jackets in seemingly every style and color, long and mid weight sweaters, great wardrobe basics, and “show-stopping” statement pieces.

:: We fell in love with the dreamy Jackie O. style jackets below ~ fun colors, fabrics and buttons!

:: The luxurious attention to detail is especially eye catching. See how beautifully this tunic is finished around the embroidered neckline and hemline?

:: You will see row after row of gorgeous embellished Tru Luxe boot cut and skinny jeans, cropped jeans, and jackets.

:: The warehouse is packed with brands that are carried in high-end department stores and fashion boutiques ~ designer fashions from Sharon Young, City Girl, Multiples, A La Carte, Slim-sation and more.

:: The sale covers a huge selection and a wide variety of styles from trendy to traditional and from “running to the grocery store” casual to night-on-the-town dressy. Plus, there is a nice variety of sizes to fit and flatter. Sizes range from Ladies & Petites 2-18 and there is even a fantastic collection of stylish Womens Plus 14W-24W.

:: There are thousands of pieces in this sale at 50% to 75% off retail. You’ll find everything you need to complete an outfit including tops, skirts, pants, and jackets ~ all $20 to $60.

We had a great time previewing the warehouse sale for you! I hope you are able to make it over to the sale to grab some bargains, too. Here’s the information you’ll need, in a nutshell…

Details, details
When: February 6, 7, and 8, 2014 ~ 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!).
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! :)
