Sears VIP Sale, Smart Economy for Today

It has recently come to my attention that an American shopping tradition, Sears, is having an amazing VIP sale. Readers, did you know that Sears was around during the Great Depression helping shoppers make smart fashion choices? Last year when this blog was featured in The New York Time’s article, ” A Label for a Pleather Economy” reporter Natasha Singer noted in the article that “ A Sears catalog from 1930 at the beginning of the Great Depression offered “coats of the new mode in the spirit of smart economy” priced to sell at $9.75 to $25. Phrases like “be smart and thrifty” and “look at the chic economy” promoted dresses that cost $4.98 to $8.98.” Good old Sears, the original frugalista fabulous! It’s nice to know Sears is still featuring smart economy for today, literally! 🙂

• Harve Benard
• Jordache Premium
• Lands’ End

The Land’s End line provides terrific value and style at the right price! It’s great to be able to try it on in-store, instead of just doing a catalog order.
