I may be able to get you a pair for $200 (depending on your size). In my experience they run true to size though.

Re: Atelier

Any word on when Barneys marking things down further? [<:o)]

Further Designer markdown



Email just arrived today: 60% off. :)

Does that mean I can bring in my receipts and ask for an adjustment from the items bought from the last markdown? :D

I think they adjustments are only one week. So, is it 60% off starting today, or Thursday, as usual?

Faust, isn't today Thursday....[76]

maybe he meant "or Thursday, as it's otherwise known" just for clarity?

Nope. I just got lost in time-space continuum. I mean, I know that Barneys always starts rounds of sales on Thursdays.

i think they'll do price adjustments for sale items, but there's a 7 day limit. if you wanted to circumvent that rule, you can return it and re-buy.

[quote user="unmetro"]OPENING CEREMONY SAMPLE SALE!
[New York Only]

[/quote]

"tis the season to recall Faust's eloquence on this topic [75]. I give you his excellent soliloquy:

RE:Opening Ceremony Sale

To go or not to go -- that is the question,
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
Uncertanties of sample sales and people
That crowd with greedy eyes the aisles
Or face the pangs of 'ncertainty. To buy, to skip?
No more - and by a skip to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That dissapointment in sales is heir to. To skip, to sleep -
To rest - perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub,
For in that inaction's rest what dreams may come
When we haven't seen the stock with our own eyes?
This gives us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the scorns of crowds,
The crowded subways, the fifth floor walk-ups,
CASH ONLY signs, the dissapointment and shock
Debasement of experience and pride,
That Cloaks our shopping ways,
The insolence of stockboys, and the spurns
That patient merit of th' unworthy takes,
When he himself can gather all his strength
With bare wallet? Who would sales bear,
To grunt and sweat over remains of styles,
But that the dread of missing bargain great,
The joy of scoring, from whose sense
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than skip the sample sales we know of?
Thus conscience does make consumers of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Not to go, is sicklied o'ver with a thought,
And enterprise of resolution not to go
Fades inexorably into distant shores of mind
And loses pride and sanctions grief -- Soft you now,
The fair Hussein's creations - My nymphs, in thy orisons
Be all my scores remembered.

[Faust]

I was shooting for a soliloquy, but I will settle for a sonnet. [75]

[/quote]

I always thought about doing that, but I think they have to return an item into their system, which precludes buying it again if there are no other similar items in stock? I seem to recall another store (larger chain) that prevented that possibility. Could be wrong though. Normally, most stores will allow you a price adjustment on items bought within a month, or at least a two week period. If that latter is the case, then the second markdown is scheduled perfectly at 16 days later.
