Designer at a Discount

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Vanderbilt chapter.

 

I know that we all love high quality designer items, but they often come with a hefty price tag and a hole in our wallets. Two of the most respected high-end department stores, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, recently launched websites for their outlet stores. Saks Fifth Avenue Off Fifth and Neiman Marcus Last Call now have amazing websites with awesome deals. You can get everything from Versace scarves to Missoni wallets for less than $100. I know this seems too good to be true, but trust me, just check it out for yourself and you won’t be disappointed. Obviously not all of the merchandise is amazing, but if you scour a little bit, you can find some great deals. Not only is everything deeply discounted, but they also have great seasonal discounts and clearance sales. Over the holiday season, I bought myself two scarves and a purse for an insanely good deal, so I highly recommend taking a much needed study break and treating yourself to some designer clothes that you won’t feel guilty about.

If you need some inspiration, here is my wish list from Saks Fifth Avenue Off Fifth’s website.

Theory Amena Crochet SweaterOriginally $335, Now: $126.99

Via Spiga Fur VestOriginally: $250, Now: $131.24

Stacey Oswald, originally from South Florida, came to Vanderbilt as a member of the class of 2015 and got involved with HerCampus her freshman year. She became assistant editor that year and is now the Campus Correspondent for Vanderbilt HC as a sophomore. Stacey is currently a columnist for Ask Miss A- Nashville and the life section of The Hustler. She's also very involved in her sorority, Kappa Delta, as well as Invisible Children. Outside of school and her extracurriculars, Stacey finds happiness in many sources, the most crucial being exercise and the sun. She loves to attend exercise classes and is an avid runner; she recently completed the Country Music Half Marathon. She also loves Vitamin D, especially when on the beach- though of course, she only soaks up the sun after applying SPF. A few of the things Stacey couldn't live without? Good food (especially from Sweet Cece's, Bricktops, and Samurai Sushi), great books (The Hypnotist's Love Story is a recent favorite), her family back in Florida, her wonderful boyfriend, and all of the great friends she's made at Vanderbilt.
