The price of gas alone is enough to make you bypass the boutiques and stock up on sensible staples from Trader Joe's. The Rage feels your pain. But there is hope: Sample sales. Stick with us, kid, and we'll keep you posted on the best of the bunch.
This Friday and Saturday, Geren Ford's whimsical dresses and separates sell for up to 90% off at their downtown corporate office. This black frock (pictured) is reduced to $80 from $325. Capris will go for $60, down from $244.

I recently heard about an outlet center about an hour north of LA that offers 25-65% off designer labels every day - thought I would share the info with my fellow sample sale lovers!!
The Camarillo Premium Outlets have 120 stores - I went to check them out about a week ago, and walked away with a fantastic Marc by Marc Jabocs coat and a bunch of other great deals. I saved even more money by registering to be a VIP Shopper on the website before I went!
It's like a sample sale every day - a great discovery. Definitely check it out!
