Every year it makes us giddy when the Women’s Fund High-End Women’s Fashion Consignment sale rolls around. Why? Well, it’s a blast—who doesn’t like drinking vino*, yapping with friends and trying on shoes. But, what truly gets the date on our calendar is the loot. It’s incredible. You’ll ONLY find designer digs, and the selection is huge.

The sale kicks off with an early bird ticket party (details for purchasing tickets at the bottom of this post) on Thursday night, Jan 30, 2014 from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. (*This is when that vino mentioned above is served!) Then, it opens to the public on Friday and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Believe me, there is plenty of “good stuff” for sale until the very last minute of this annual sale.

With scarves continuing strong as an all season accessory, you’ll find a table filled with great choices.

This year the organizers gave us a heads up: there are tons of shoes, great evening wear and many larger-sized items. In addition, the BIG sale begins on Saturday at noon, when everything will be deeply discounted until 3 p.m. Yes, the last three hours of this sale is truly a bargain hunters fantasy.
