Do you salivate when you hear the following words: BCBG, GUCCI, COACH, CALVIN KLEIN, MAXMARA, MOSCHINO, RALPH LAUREN, ETC. ETC. Then we have a lot in common.
So you want this $1,235.00 MaxMara dress for $389.00?
You probably haven't been able to avoid it, unless, of course, you live under a drab rock, but Invitation-Only shopping has gotten wildly popular, largely because of the Facebook ad network. Every time I click on any link, whether it's to play Farmville (another obsession, albeit less glamorous), or to troll some ex-boyfriend's page, I look to the right and there it is: another ad for an "exclusive" membership to a fabulous shopping club offering up to 90% off of retail prices. At first I thought, puhleeease, that'll be the day. But then I went ahead and joined one. Then another, and another. Now I check them EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY DAY.
So I've compiled all of the most wonderful ones, almost all of which I've purchased something gorgeous off of at about 80 - 90% off of retail. You've heard it before, but it's true: You never need to pay retail ever again! Here are my favorites in the order that I obsessively check them every morning at 11 a.m., which is when most of them start the day's sales. In some cases you can join a "front row" membership for a fee and get in on the sale an hour before it starts. After the list, I will explain the Pros and Cons of this new obsession of mine (and I suspect by the intensity of merchandise selling out just when I click the damn link, an obsession of millions of other style-conscious women - and men).
