Sample Sale Lowdown

by Dara • Thursday, April 10, 2008 • No comments

Given the depressed economy, I thought it only fitting that I share the wealth on the latest on-land and on-line clothing and accessory sales. In these belt-tightening times, even yours truly has put the breaks on spending frivolously (ok, I’ve cut my designer shoe allowance down from 10 pairs to 5). But I digress. Read on for ways to work your spring wardrobe… even on a shoestring budget.
