Goodbye, satin tube dress! So long itchy sweater! Our cathartic clothing purge felt great, but it left a hole in our wardrobes. And we needed to fill it without dipping into our sushi budget.
So we stormed the new Bedo Entropôt, the store's first warehouse. The 9,000 square-feet of hardcore savings focuses only on the current season's clothing-from previous years' collections. (The last thing we want to do in November is paw through racks of sundresses and shorts). Prices start at 50% off, reaching 70% off with irresistible in-store sales.
How about two sweaters for $25? Or last year's ski coats ($40 and up), faux fur jackets ($79 and up) and satin party tops ($17.99)? There were entire racks marked $40, and we found plenty of gems by sifting through the low tables, where the best sweaters are folded.
With half the store dedicated to menswear, we spent 20 minutes browsing for The Boyfriend. Then we lost interest when we spotted the knitted mini dresses ($39.99) on the other side of the store. (Somebody's got to look out for number one.)
