Last week, my friend Alec asked me to accompany him to the Barney's Warehouse Sale. We had agreed to meet at 10:30 am and it wasn't surprising that even on Thursday morning the Men's department was crowded. With a few exceptions, the men were just as blood thirsty about 75% designer clothes as women.
I worked expertly and efficiently to find Alec the sizes and styles that would create the right look but offer the versatility that was critical for his lifestyle. As a young entrepreneur in the mobile space who recently sold his second company, dressing more conservatively with a modern edge was his top priority. This is a guy who NEVER wears ties and lives in jeans. Working within those constraints, we were able to find some perfect fitting jeans, a few gorgeous sport coats that were versatile enough to go from work to play and shoes, lots and lots of loafers!
Assisting my friends in shopping is one of my favorite past times because I'm never afraid to tell them what works and what doesn't. I also always take into consideration the lifestyle they lead or aspire to lead.
I will say that the Barney's Warehouse sale is still a bit overpriced, even at 70%. I would take my consignment shops and thrift stores any day. :)
