This past weekend, a few friends and I set our alarm clocks on a Saturday to raid the Museum of Contemporary Art Warehouse for Gilt City Chicago's second annual sample sale.
Though a few of us (myself included) left empty-handed, it wasn’t unhappily: In addition to shopping, great music and drinks, 19,000 square feet of exposed brick and architectural details made for an all-around worthwhile event.
Sample sale shopping makes my soles tired.
If you’re planning to attend a Gilt City warehouse sale in the future, don’t worry if the early time slots sell out (tickets are available in two-hour increments from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.) The stylishly-clad Gilt City staff efficiently stocks the floor after each group.
Until next time, I'll be getting my sample sale fix online at 11 a.m. CST everyday. How 'bout you?

Those wedges are adorable. I love the yellow on the straps.
i went to the preview event the night before and left empty handed as well but i did see some cute pieces, just not in my size...
alas the drinks were fab and i loved the candy bar!
How on God's green earth did you manage to walk away empty handed?! They woulda had to order me a u-haul ...

Sometimes it is just nice to window shop and be around fashionable people and things, so leaving empty handed is not all that bad. Regardless, you look fabulous ;)

Oh my gosh - now THAT looks like a fun time! :)
OMG, this sounds fun/dangerous. Loving your look -- those shoes are awesome!! xo
I didn't go, but I was wondering what people found. In comparison to last time I didn't hear much buzz so I didn't feel like I missed out on anything.
Great pics! I've never been to a sample sale in real life, and it's probably a good thing. I feel like the chaos and stress around me would end with me feeling pressured and buying way more crap than I really need.
