(copied off Daily Candy's LA Weekend email)

I am SUPER TEMPTED to go for like 10 minutes after work, since I work nearby (I leave at 2 PM but I have class at 3:30). I his pants and I know my size, but I'm trying not to spend too much, since I already blew a ton of money on the Moschino purse I bought last week.
Is it worth it? Could I wait until Saturday or would all the good stuff be gone by then?
i've never managed to make it to the av samples sales when they happen (which is a shame b/c i do love his pants). there's a really long explanation as to why i didn't go to the last one, but the abbreviated (and relevant) portion is that the starting price for pants is appx $120 which made it not worth it for me (for reasons outside of the price).
when faced with shopping crises of this nature, i usually try to make a quick stop in to see if it's worth my time, and then make a decision. hth!
