You know what I love more than Gucci, Louis, Fendi, and Prada? Gucci, Louis, Fendi, and Prada at 60%–80% off the retail price! If you love a good sale, too, then you won’t want to miss out on the Gilt City Fall 2016 Chicago Warehouse Sale from October 14–15 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Warehouse.
The sale is not just for the ladies, men will also have plenty of Tom Ford and Paul Smith—to name a few—to choose from. Shoppers can peruse racks stocked with all things fashion including the newest shoe styles, jewelry, suits, jackets, denim, tops, and outerwear. Shop both up-and-coming designers and renowned fashion houses, including Chloé, Valentino, Derek Lam, Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, Oscar de la Renta, and more.
Oh, and you might also catch me there! So come say, “Hi,” and let’s blow our paychecks together! Check out the full event details and purchase tickets to the event here: Gilt City Fall 2016 Chicago Warehouse Sale
Since I’m a veteran Gilt City Warehouse Sale Shopper, I have included some shopping tips for you below!
SHOPPING TIPS:
Arrive early: Just as you would for any sample sale, arrive early! No matter what session you come to, be sure to get there with ample time. This ensures a full shopping experience, and it’s best to view the merchandise when it’s most organized.
Reduce your drag: Come prepared to shop—we require coat check and large bag check, so bring a small purse or wallet that you can keep your credit cards and ID in. A small wallet or cross-body bag will leave your hands free to peruse the racks, or sip a cocktail! Also, shopping in light layers will allow you to try clothes on easily, and you may even decide not to wait for a fitting room!
Think ahead: Don’t be afraid to shop for future seasons. You’ll find that there are amazing deals for every occasion – score designer suits or that perfect glam dress for the holidays.
Have an open mind: The most exciting part of the Warehouse Sale is the element of surprise! While you may have certain items in mind that you’re really focused on purchasing, take your time, look through the racks and filter through the shoes and accessories with an open mind. This is usually the time when the magic happens and you’ll find yourself going home with some great steals that you might otherwise not have found!
And remember – plastic! No cash, so bring your debit or credit cards!
