Updates: Jodi Arnold Sample Sale

After Lani's full report on the Jodi Arnold sample sale at The Savvy space, I had to check it out for myself. Sizes ran 0-10 for most part. Those hot $50 Leather leggings have been sold out. Those amazing buckle leather jackets are gone too. There was only one size 4 left in a double zip leather jacket. However, there were plenty of colorful leather skirts left. Lovely party frocks and pretty embellished blouses are plentiful!

Actually, I have to say that personally I thought the pricing was quite excellent given the level of detail and quality of the merch. Definitely design within reach and much cheaper than you'll find on most sample sale websites for Jodi Arnold's designs.

Fortunately the sale continues and each day brings more special events and discounts giving you more reason to visit the sale. Especially tonight, this is not just a sale but a chance to relax and have a drink while offering opportunities for artists and live music! Saturday even offers a chance to meet the designer, of who I'm informed is also super sweet. Don't you love nice designers?
