It’s been a long day - I’m exhausted, so I’m just going to quote directly from the Bargains LA email that tipped me off to this:
The pricing is super! A pair of Steve Madden Aplegate boots retail at $129, but are here at just $52. A pair of CoutureDonald Pliner Doris boots usually go for $3! 35, but are here at $134. How about a pair of Guess trendy boots for $44 instead of $110? Your tootsies will revel in a pair of $250 Cole Haan Air Kierstin for $100 and you may be seriously tempted to snatch up a pair of Casadei Pellame boots for $210 instead of the original $700. Here you can have the boots you’ve been pinning for… for a lot less.

Description:
Do you have a yen for designer jeans, but a bank account that’s running more on the Levi’s*** end of the price range? The Warehouse Sale events specialize in bringing high-end jeans to bargain hunters. They hold events around the country throughout the year and there’s one coming up in the Bay Area in a few weeks!
IS IT WORTH IT?
Online reviews and articles about The Warehouse Sale events are mixed. For the most part, people are satisfied with the value, but the selection is limited and it’s not like you’re strolling out with $10 jeans that used to be $300. Think more like $70-100 for jeans that used to be $300. Still pretty cool if you’re willing to cough it up.
From what I’ve read, it’s best to make reservations ahead of time, which you can do by signing up at TWS website, and this also avoids the $5 admission fee.
ARE YOU READY?
For a big sale, always go prepared. In this case, the folks at TWS have been kind enough to outline an FAQs section on their site that covers some important info, such as whether or not they have private changing areas (they don’t). Check the FAQs out here.
A NOTE ON SIZING:
Keep in mind that they specialize in selling SAMPLES, so their size ranges on jeans are limited to size 23 - 32 for women and 28-40 for men. They also carry a brand called “Frankie B” that has sizes 0-10 (women’s)
***I actually think the price of Levi’s are even pretty exorbitant, but, a girl’s gotta wear something, right? I remember when buying a pair of jeans seemed like a fairly nonchalant purchase, but nowadays it’s a regular investment!
