Sample sale shopping in New York can be a full-contact endurance sport. One needs to be focused, to unearth the gems that will nicely integrate into you wardrobe and resist the items that while cheap are still a bad idea. A small amount of aggression is good to get your hands on said gems before the shopper next to you. Lastly, immodesty and a willingness to try clothes on in the aisle or the make shift dressing room, in full view of staff and shoppers, is mandatory. It is not a bargain if it doesn't fit. That said, a swimsuit sample sale is in a class by itself.
I stopped by the Malia Mills sample sale yesterday and if you're feeling you A-game, it's worth a visit. There are a myriad of styles, colors and sizes. Tops and bottoms are sold separately so you can mix-n-match you perfect maillot. A suit regularly priced at $260 can be had for a c-note. How many bathing suits does a girl need? I'd say somewhere in the ballpark of four or five.
