Sample Sale Report: Alice + Olivia

Stopped by the Alice + Olivia Sample sale after work and found the store to be buzzing with activity but many of these shoppers did not seem to be the usual sample sale crowd. I overhear women saying "It's a Sample Sale!!!" in wonder. Perhaps the Bryant Park location attracted more foot traffic than the usual hidden sales in the Garment District.

I found prices to be a bit high for the quality of merch especially since some of the trendier pieces are starting to look a bit dated. Some of the pieces were definitely Balmain inspired like this holey tee and military denim jacket with chain trim.

Lots of basic tees as well.

Leather/suede leggings were plentiful but pricey at $249.

Plenty of cargo pants available to choose from.

A lone rack of children's wear and a lone rack of menswear was amongst a sea of womenswear.

Not sure if the Payless shoes at $29 a pair are really close to the original retail price?

If you need a party frock there are plenty of options.

As this is their retail location change rooms and lighting/mirrors were readily available. This sale is not a must go but if you're in the area or in dire need of a party frock or leather leggings check it out. Otherwise I find it a bit pricey.
