District Fashion Finds

in Fashion/Style, Parties/Events

Tuesday night was the bi-annual District Sample Sale at the Galleria @ Lafayette Center. Twenty-two area boutiques participated in the sale, purging their inventories at seriously slashed rates to make room for new Fall merchandise. Local lady turned glamour goddess covergirl, Hilary Rhoda, served as Honorary Chair.

Those that were able to secure coveted VIP tickets enjoyed an entire hour of less frenzied shopping in advance of the masses that were granted entrance later in the evening. The line stretched down the block and then some with anxious sample salers and the occasional passerby wondering how they could get in on the sensational shopping. (Hint! Hint! Buy tickets early for May!!)

I don’t know how I resisted making a single purchase – but I couldn’t resist a Georgetown Cupcake (and it seems neither could Liberty Jones of Apres Peau and a Sample Sale Founder.)
