Dashing between meetings & appointments, modern career gals need office staples they can rely on. In the past, the Elie Tahari sample sale offered shoppers generous discounts on quality office basics. At this fall sale, I was able to find a desirable mix of work dresses, perfectly cut shirts, and softly structured coverups.
In the clothing section, I found daytime dresses & jackets priced $99, basic sweaters for $49, and pants/skirts marked $59. Racks and aisles were organized by size and I spotted a wide assortment of boardroom chic dresses, skirts, blazers, and button-down shirts. If you want something more enticing, the sale featured evening wardrobes as well. From sparkly sequin cocktail frocks to bold leopard prints, there were many feminine designs perfect for your next special end-of-year event.
After browsing the apparel section, I headed deeper inside where the shoe tables were situated. Except for the $129 boots, all shoes were priced under $100. If you're in the market for comfy flats, you'll be happy to know there were several styles of cap-toes, patent leathers, and bow ballets. The handbag section, located near the checkout, was comprised of various designs like oversized leopard prints, black satchels, textured leather shoulder bags, and a multitude of clutches. As for prices, totes were under $200 while clutches were $79. The biggest steal at yesterday's preview were the belts. Three large plastic bins chock full of $9 Elie Tahari belts grabbed the attention of early shoppers. Adjacent to these affordable belts was one plastic bin that contained luxurious fur scarves for $279 (quite the price contrast). Speaking of prices, the extra long price list is located at the end of this article.
The men's section was noticeably small compared to the womenswear. Nonetheless, I saw a handful of men perusing the humble stock. There were around ten racks of office suits, button-down shirts, trousers, knits, and outerwear.
This week's Elie Tahari sample sale officially starts this morning at 9am and will run through Saturday. If the past is any indication, look for price reductions towards the end of the sale. I will make sure to notify you when it happens.

You are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think you're awesome as well. :)
DeleteI think I'll head by tomorrow or later in the week when there are the inevitable price cuts. Did you see any silk dresses or A-line styles? Sheath dresses and pencil skirts don't really work for my figure.
DeleteThere were tons of dresses yesterday. I'm sure you'll find something that suits your shape.
DeleteI didn't end up finding anything. :(
Deleteoh no. The bright side is that you have extra money to now spend at one of the many upcoming fabulous sample sales.
DeleteThank you for the review! You are the best. I didn't find anything about coats in your report. Is there any?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. Yes, there were a few parkas, cardigan coats, and tailored styles.
DeleteHi! Thanks for the great recap. Do you know what the prices are for the fur accessories?
ReplyDeleteFur scarves were $279
DeleteHi thanks for the update. Usually gilt city offers 50 for 25 for ellie tahari sample sale. I dont see it offered this year. Do u know where i can purchase?
ReplyDeleteThis time around Gilt isn't offering such a deal.
DeleteThis is one of the most useful fashion blogs ever. I love it! Please don't ever stop.

Aww... Thank you so much!
DeleteSigh. As usual, the move to 260 =s higher prices. Thanks for the report, though!!
ReplyDeletethe prices were of course higher and the merchandise was nothing worthy..
ReplyDeleteand 260 is always increasing the prices so why call it a sample sale???
I don't completely agree. Prices have gone up (sometimes) when sales go into 260 but the merchandise has always been great. Plus the staff are friendly and have better service than lets say Soiffer where prices and staff suck.
DeleteMarkdowns start today!
ReplyDeleteThat is correct! Additional markdowns will start this morning (11/21).
Delete30% markdown this morning when I went. Some of their belt for $9 was definitely worth it. Still a lot of merchandise left. I had went on Thursday, and there were some dresses that I saw today that weren't there Thursday. If anyone haven't had a chance to go, highly recommend to stop by in the last hour since they close at 7pm.
