Boy was there a ton of people! Considering how I went on a Friday, I was surprised by all the people in queue. Don’t people in LA work?! Oh ya, I forgot, we’re all starving actors and actresses. Comparative to all the other sample sales I’ve attended, I would say the Rock and Republic Sample Sale had a pretty good selection of past season styles as well as a wide range of sizes to appease fashionistas of all body types. When I finally got into the warehouse, I was shocked to see how much merchandise they had. The variety was unbelievable and who knew R&R would put their belts, buckles, shoes, dress pants, jackets, skirts, vests, etc. all at a 50-80% discount? I am in R&R heaven. After two hours and a whole lot of digging (I almost broke a sweat), I ended up with 2 pairs of denim, 1 shirt, and 1 tank. Not a bad days “work” if I do say so myself. I left with $200 less in my wallet and a smile on my face.

From what I can recall, here are some of the prices from the sample sale:
women’s denim (non embroidered) - $80
women’s denim (embroidered) -$100
t-shirt - $25
tank -$15

Suggestions:
-bring caffeine or water
-chicks, leave your purses in the car. they will not let you in with a purse
-come in groups so your buddies can hold your place in line (fitting and checkout)
-chicks, come in a day dress or skirt. Something easy to slip on and off jeans
-BRING CASH. I was able to not pay taxes when I used cash.

you may even want to bring something to read while you’re waiting in queue.

One thing is guaranteed, I’ll be back next season.
