This Saturday, Feb. 7, marks the 10th Annual Old Town Boutique District Warehouse Sale. For six hours, over 20 of Alexandria’s top boutiques will offer discounts up to 80 percent off. This is your chance to score designer items at a bargain price, but with up to 1,000 shoppers visiting that day, it can also be hectic. In an effort to help you find the perfect pieces, we have reached out to the OTBD to preview some select items and offer tips on how to shop successfully.
The Tips:
1) Arrive early. Doors open at 9, so it’s best to get there at least 30 minutes before.
2) Less is more. Wear leggings and close-fitting clothes so you can strip down and try on stuff easily. There are no dressing rooms.
3) Leave your coat in the car.
4) Have a strategy. Look at the list of participating stores and plot where you want to go first. If you are a shoe lover, focus on shoes. If you love clothes, focus on that.
5) Have fun, and be nice. There is no tackling ladies for garments.
