safe bets, but no steals

Alice and Olivia a so-so sample sale. Prices at the sale we’re as follows:

Shirts 49$
Skirts 59$
Sweaters 69$
Pants 69$
Dresses 99-129$
Blazers 109$
Coats 149$
Leather Jackets 169$

These are fairish prices on Alice and Olivia, but not inspiring. If you like Alice and Olivia you will probably enjoy the brightly colored cocktail baby-dolls and 80’s high lighter leggings. There were pices I liked, but nothing I felt overwheminly compeled by. There are more subdued pants suitable for work and well cut available in sizes 0-12, and over all there are plenty of items in each size.

It is worth noting that they had a small number of shoes and purses from the Alice and Olivia for payless line priced at 10$ and 25$ respectively.
Prices for Alice and Olivia are lower then they will be at DVF or Westwood sales but it doesn’t boast the steals you might find at Alice and Trixie. In the end A&O is a good compromise but nobodies favorite.
