BCBG Summer Sale Picks

at BCBG at Kierland Commons on Monday sifting through the flagship's first day of what I affectionately call summer sale celebrations. It's that time of year again, when it's too hot to walk from house to car and go anywhere but some other overly-air-conditioned spot because doing anything actually outside is suicidal. I know the rest of the country has been getting a nasty heat wave too but seriously, it was 115 yesterday and humid and for an hour I walked around work with a sorbet in one hand and ice water in the other. 

But, let's get back to discount days at BCBG, a place I don't normally browse because the lobe in my brain that screams "party dress" is indefinitely underdeveloped. HOWEVER, I do spend a frequent greenback or two on BCBG footwear and if you haven't shopped there lately you haven't gotten a load of what's available in the non-party-dress department. Meaning non-Teen Choice Award items like breezy printed shorts, Jasmine pants, floor-length frocks suitable for spiky, pale legs and serrated headbands to scare your boyfriend.

Like on sale. Like between 40%-60% off with an extra 20% beheaded at the register. Look for...

... Shorts that don't make you want to throw up because they are those horrid ubiquitous cut-offs:

All, found online here, too: between $128 and $148 PLUS 40% off and an extra markdown.

...Long, colorful summer dresses because unlike everyone else you didn't tan and don't like to shave that often:

First gown: $198.00; second: $448.00 PLUS 60% off and an extra markdown.

...Versatile separates that easily function as layering pieces for colder months (if you know what those are):

Top: $158 plus 40% off and an extra markdown; romper, $218 plus 40% off and an extra markdown; fringed leather jacket: $248 plus 40% off and extra markdown; blazer: $268 plus 60% and an extra markdown.

...Heels that are just plain fun because let's face it, we don't stash away black heels in the summer like we're told to do and we don't shelf open heels in the fall/winter because that would just be silly

Sandal: $275 plus 40% off and an extra markdown; pump: $250 plus 60% off and an extra markdown

And that spiky headband...

 So if you're looking for party dresses, great! They have a smorgasbord of pretty ones on sale too. But if you're not, equally awesome. BCBG at Kierland Commons in North Scottsdale has obviously an array of beauties perfect for dressing sexy and colorfully in a pale, what my boyfriend calls "fashion-y" kind of way (in other words, better than everyone else unique). Click here for a map or visit this place for these same numbers online.
