Kimberly Taylor Sample Sale

Stopped by the Kimberly Taylor sample sale after work and it turns out that I just missed the after work crowd so I was the only shopper at the sale with the opportunity to explore racks at my leisure. While the sample sale is on a slightly smaller scale than some others, there are definitely plenty of gems to be had especially if you are a smaller size. I spied a lot of 0's and 2's and XS & S sizes. There is a small fitting area with a door set up inside an office with 2 mirrors to offer you privacy while changing. While most of the staff had already gone home for the day, the staffer that I had the chance to meet was just lovely and super informative.

Spring merchandise that is currently still in stores are slashed to 50% off retail. So that means that you can snag a sexy Sasha dress for somewhere in the neighborhood of $125! The dress with it's strategic contrast waist panels is uber flattering and creates an hourglass effect while making your waist look tiny. If you are a sample size you are in luck because you can score a Sasha dress for as low as $75.

Samples are priced at $75 for dresses and $50 for tops and bottoms. I also tried on a beautiful tie waist tunic in a rainbow stripe print that was a limited edition print in collaboration with fine art photographer Irene Mamiye that was both pretty and flattering. If it didn't totally look like Lani I probably would have scooped it up for myself at $75 (I think original retail was $300!). I also was a fan of the body con chiffon skirts in bold colors and the pleated fluttery soft satin shorts.

There also was a small selection of brand new Summer merchandise offered at a discount of 10% off. The color block chiffon looked especially fresh in the bold color combinations.

If you are a fan of that downtown cool aesthetic of Alexander Wang or Oak - but in a more colorful, bold and polished way - this sale would be a must. So many little numbers that would look sizzling on a summer night out!

PS There are also $20 sample bins but I didn't have a chance to really dig through them.
