More Reasons to Love Fall: Tory Burch On Sale at Gilt Groupe

A few weeks ago, I dropped by the Tory Burch store in Malibu. They had a great sale and mimosas for perfect girlfriends Sunday shopping. I took an inventory of the store and took mental notes. I loved the colorful tunics, classic ballet flats and stylish bags. But despite the delicious mimosas, I could not pry open my wallet to pay Tory’s retail prices. Several hundred dollars for a blouse or a tunic is just too much. And least for this fashionista on the down low. So good news! Tomorrow, 9/15 at 9 am PST,noon EST, Tory’s fabulous fashions will go on the virtual sale racks at discount designer shopping club, the Gilt Groupe. Click here to join Gilt and shop the sale as my guest. Here are a few things I have my eye on, and yes, I tried on the tunics in-store. This is a time-honored recessionista patented shopping technique. I try the garments not to buy at the time of the trying, but perhaps to buy later, when the sale comes. It’s helpful to try things on to check the fit, so that if the best price is online, you have an idea how it will look when the price drops into your shopping range.
