Brett Pulls a Lauren; Blames Manhattan Sample Sales

my cheap monday sample sale purchases.jpgAt 12:22 today, I got a text from Natalie: "Hey, are you dead?"


I ignored it and shoved my cell back in my pocket.

At 1:07, she texted: "Just let us know you're ok! It's not like you to be late and not call"

So finally I had to admit where I was. I tapped out: "Hey. Sorry. Cheap Monday sample sale! 5 minutes, i swear! It was a fashion emergency."

I felt terribly guilty, shaking as I handed the checkout person my money, and yet I was filled with the same jittery excitement I always get when I see slashed prices and fitting rooms made from bed sheets.

The stats: Cheap Mondays for 20 bucks (they even have the really exciting pair flecked with dots, and the turquoise ones that look like Ksubis), Rogues Gallery T’s for $15, Vena Cava blouses for $100. Too good to miss. They had every size, even though this is the last day, and random boxes of clothes marked $10.

There was even Shipley and Halmos stuff, but it was all pretty expensive. And the women's Vena Cava was golden, as was all the Wayne (especially this white dress splattered with black that is totally giving us Cynthia Vincent for less).

Seriously, go.

495 Broadway, near Broome

This may be my last post for a while. Natalie is really concerned. She’s sending me to rehab, though secretly I think she's really hoping I’ll run into an Olsen.

Thanks for the tip! Is it cash only, or do they take CCs too?

Hey! yeah. they take credit cards, but only for purchases over 100 dollars.

PS. most of the stuff is an additional 25% off.

Have fun.

Old news. The sale started 2 days ago.

And, I got 2 pairs of Cheap Mondays for literally $13 each on super sale at Bloomingdales in January.

And why would they put you in rehab? Because you bought 2 things at a sample sale? I don't get it...
