they run out quick at retail even. which jacket did you get? i'm guessing the baseball jacket based on the price. i was hoping to get a blazer or something but they were all gone. probably for the best anyway since 40% off $1800ish is still pretty expensive.

its this one, there was an xs, but it was damm tight. I think the cashier mess up on my purchase since she rang two jackets and i decided to get only one.

ah, the shirt jacket. i have been tempted by that but not sure how i would work it into my style. i'd love to see some worn pics when you get it.

the only thing i hate about it is the bottom part which is like a shirt, i will take some pics and put it on waywt

saks and barneys are eboth having 40% sales on the 5th?

Meaning i could get 40% off of a pair of raw diors?

^yes

No, just @ Barneys.

The Saks sale is over.

^yes

so i thought i would post about my experience at barneys today.
i went there mainly to cop the dior white hightops but sadly they werent even displayed?!? i asked the guy and he had no idea wtf i was talking about. so then i opted to get some other shoes, but lanvins were kind of disappointing. so i get a pair of creative recreations, which are rather cheap, but i think it looks kind of cool. IT WAS CRAZY by the way. so many people. it looked like the entire floor got pillaged or something. the dressing rooms reeked of body odor. NASTY. I didnt even bother looking for dior mij raws because i knew that they didnt have em. this was actually my 3rd time or so shopping at a big department store. i loved the wide selection they had but as Jskidder had said, I think i arrived too late to take full advantage of the sale.

i also wanted to get some graphic tees for summer (i only have like AAs) so i came upon this section called "Nice Collective." I was SO happy that they actually had tee shirts available in small (other labels that i was looking at did not have any Smalls at all). It seemed slim enough so i picked three of them in small and went to the register... and apparently they werent part of the sale. at that point i was just like whatever and bought em anyway. now that i think about it that was a pretty stupid decision. i mean i liked the pretty simple design and all but i dont know if im down to spend such money on tshirts. I havent even taken the nice collective shirts out of the bag yet... I will try them on later and maybe it will change my mind. most likely, they will be returned.

Oh and I forgot, I know that there are some REAL ballers out there in terms of shopping, but Ive never seen one in real life. Like today @ barneys this Russian guy just went through the racks and grabbed EVERYTHING IN HIS SIZE. I watched him because of that. and when he went to the register, it came to like 2400 or something and THIS GUY PAID IN CASH. i was like WOW. BALLER STATUS.

$2400 cash on several items is hardly baller status @ barneys. most jackets cost $2400 alone at retail and i have seen dudes drop $10-12K at a time there. unfortunately i am not one of those dudes.

sorry your experience sucked though. usually shopping at barneys is a pretty classy experience, but not when there is a sale on. it turns into a madhouse and the sa's are pretty much in a mad scramble all day. too bad you didn't score any deals, but you really needed to reserve your stuff on friday or saturday to have a shot.

as far as the nice collective goes, they really do make nice subtle graphic t's that fit really well. i probably would have held off on paying retail though as they can be had on sale and they don't change the prints much from season to season. in fact, they will soon be on sale at barneys because full markdowns and the permanent sale will be starting before the end of may. probably memorial day weekend. i should have mentioned before that the lower-end brands they carry like nice collective were not included. the sale was designer items only this time, but when full sale begins everything will be marked down. maybe not all the way to 40% on everything though.

Well if you are carrying around $2400+ in cash, you are probably a drug dealer.
