NY Sample Sale Report: Son of John

Stopped by the Son of John Sale over lunch and it was a spacious sale with about 10 other shoppers. As soon as I entered a staffer advised me that since I’m petite I could probably fit into the rack full of shorts. I spotted some satin shorts for $30 (on my personal seasonal shopping list) but sizes were not indicated and the ones I tried on just hung at my hips ;(.
Prices in general are pretty great, nothing tops $50! Best deals are for the biker shorts $5! Haha they are a bit disco dot crazy but the same pair is on sale on shop bop for $17.70 (retail $50). The Cardigans are just $5 but I didn’t spot very many. Silk Tank and Dresses are also a steal at $10 & $20 respectively. The signature pocket tees/tanks are a bargain at $15-18 as they retail for $88+.
Sizes seemed to be indicated by 0,1, 2, 3 and there was a variety of each size category.
Full Price List as follows:
Baseball Tees & Pocket Tees $18
Pocket Tanks $15
Silk Tanks $10
Tailored Shirts $15
Full Sequins Tops $40
Partial Sequin Tops $20
Shoulder Epaulet Tops $10
Cardigans $5
Sequin Poncho $50
Vests $34
Shorts $30
Biker Shorts $5
Silk Dresses $20
Belts $5
Scarves $10

My fave pieces were the cropped tee w/ shoulder detail and the jersey vest with shoulder detail! Drop by if you are a shopping for casual basics with a twist or if you are in the neighborhood.
