The Save the Date has been on my calendar longer than I care to remember or would actually admit. A sacred date shared only with the closest of girl friends, those who know how to remain tight lipped and keep things of utter importance close to their vest. And now the dawn of a new day is here, the sale of all sales in Atlanta, the Boutique Warehouse Sale has arrived!
It is no surprise that in the shopping mecca that is Atlanta, that boutiques reign supreme. However, for a girl from the Midwest who is obsessed with fashion, Rachel Zoe style, with a fraction (okay smaller than a fraction) of a budget, boutique shopping can be intimidating especially in the current economic climate. Thus the creation of the Boutique Warehouse Sale completes every shopping divas dream breaking up the monotony from our H & M and Forever 21 trips.
The Boutique Warehouse Sale features all of the movers and shakers in the Atlanta Boutique clique from favorites of the Buckhead Betties to the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Every fashion trend is featured from dresses, tops, pants, shoes to accessories and handbags, all at a minutia of the full retail cost. Perhaps the best part of all, the Boutique Warehouse Sale, is all under one roof at one time. No more exhausting trips from Decatur to Smyrna stuck in gridlock traffic on 285 searching for a last minute outfit for that dressy casual event.
The stage is set, the doors are open. Hoards of girls and young women take their marks hoping to find the deal of a century, will it be a cashmere sweater coat at less than cost or those perfect go to pants for work and play? Competition is fierce and the dressing rooms can be scary for those not willing to undress in front of a throng of shoppers vying for your cast offs. Have faith, the rewards can be great, especially when your co-workers ask those four simple words “Where did you get that?” A girl never tells, however a true bargain hunter always reveals the “For how much?” Let the envy begin! My finds will be posted shortly. . .
