March 10, 2011: Milly Sale at Clothingline

Burst into Spring with cotton tops in yellow, fuschia, orange and turquoise. Also a few Fall finds like a purple mohair sweater with a retail tag nearing the $300.00-mark still affixed, or if you're feeling a little Kardashian, a black see-through blouse with rock-star embellishment at the neckline and wrists. Considering Milly's price at retailers ($195-$295), the line's rare availability at vintage stores, and the overall cost of inflation... these are hard-to-argue with sample sale prices... unless you have dupes at the back of your closet, or in storage.

Check out the one-a-kind items at Clothingline, Thursday at 11:00 a.m., 261 West 36th Street, 2nd floor.

SAMPLE SALE: Milly Maniacs scooped up...

...Velvet skirts with scalloped edges and ruffle-edged bustle details for $39 and black wool sweaters embellished with gold pallets at Clothing Line sample sale (see pic.) - all look like samples from FashionWeek. A brand that is almost never on sale - anywhere - and costs even more at Michael's Consignment making this sale worth the clothing-hanger-stalking staff who will report you to the manager if you do not hang up every single item and place it back on the rack. Guilty.

$39 for skirts and sweaters and a cool camel trench in leather for $199. It-girl sweater dresses. Yellow gold lurex sweaters and...wait, was that a runway prototype cocktail dress I spotted? Sprint down to Clothing Line at 36th St. Buy for you - a friend - a co-worker - the barista at Starbuck's...spread the savings joy.

261 West 36th (between 7th & 8th), 2nd floor - Tuesday, 11 - 7 pm, Wednesday 11 - 7 pm.
