SALES!!!

Sorry for the low frequency of my posts lately, but I have been doing some work on the site and have been trying to limit the new content.  Don't worry though, DSD will return in full swing soon enough!!
However, I couldn't not make sure that everyone knows about all the sales going on right now (sorry about the double negative).  The end of January/early February seems to be the time where the stores start clearing out their winter inventory to make room for spring!!!!!!  (I'm so tired of this winter... spring can't come soon enough!).  This means major discounts.  For instance, yesterday, I found an amazing black DVF cocktail dress on sale at Bloomingdale's (unfortunately I can't find a picture of it).  Originally $445, it was reduced to $268.  All sale items in Bloomie's are 50% right now, so I used my amazing math skills to calculate the final price to be $134, and I was pretty stoked about that price.  But when the salesperson rang my dress up, it came out to $77!!  My mouth dropped open.  I don't know where that discount came from, but I'm certainly not going to complain!  That's even better than sample sale pricing!
The sales aren't limited to Bloomingdale's.  I stopped in Lord & Taylor and Macy's on Saturday, and sales abounded.  If you're looking for deals on jewelry (if I have any male readers, Valentine's Day is just around the corner!), I would check out Macy's ASAP because they are hosting a huge jewelry sale!  I haven't been to Saks or Bergdorf lately, but I would venture to guess that you can score some good deals there as well.
So go shopping!!!!  You don't want to miss out on these deals!
