allen allen sale + more

"Stevie" <privilegemagaz...@charter.net>
Hi!
Allen Allen clearance sale was today in Irvine. I ran down there with the
kid to see what was there. Less than what I expected for sure. Though the
space was really big and definitely sufficient parking, it was racks and
racks of clothes by color..... all mixed together.
so shirts, pants, skirts, tops, tess, shorts, all together in one rack in
one color.
sizes were sketchy and there must have been at least 10k pieces there.....
but they didn't have all the colors I have seen at previous sales: today was
definitely lots of basic black, brown, grey, navy, white, peach, deep red,
burgundy, pale pink, peachy pink, bright pink 3 shades of green..... 2
shades of aqua. no purples, lilacs or violet shades like I have seen before.
there was yellow but not much–– some orange but very little.some oddball
shades
lots of overalls and baggy styles which comparatively speaking is more
than I had seen last time.
small batch of coats (Cofarb you would have been in heaven!) some really
cool boucle type wovens and some fun icy pastel satin parkas and vests
I got a pointelle tank in a peachy pink... a tee in bright pink
burgundy drawstring cotton knit cargos that are the perfect length
almost bought a pair of very thin cotton woven pj pants red hearts on white
ground but for 20 bucks, that wasn't a deal. I could get a better quality
material at VS for that $$
the kid got a tee that had her astrological sign in words and graphics on
it in pink
a icy blue satin vest
plus I have been on my bargain hunt
