The Saks Consolidation Sale started Thurs, Jan 21. Chicago was one of the cities to host the sale. When I mentioned to my bf about the consolidation sale, he said "Isn't that just a sale of all the crap that nobody wants?" Technically yes. Though, after returning from the sale, I can say thats just what it was.
Maybe everything was picked over since I wasn't able to go on the first day, but there are a lot of racks of clothes on the 3rd floor and none of it was good. Premium designer racks were sorted by designers while contemporary clothing were sorted by sizing. There were definitely clothes for every size available, but it really was a lot of older season, impractical, still too expensive, or ugly stuff. Larger sizes of course had more options than XS and S sizes. There is a separate section for evening wear which were still decent if you are looking for holiday dresses. Again, smaller sizes had slim pickings.
Everything was an extra 25% on top of the sale price which brings it to 70%. There were shoes but not a lot and most of it were shoes I spotted from the last couple of big sales Saks had that they couldn't get rid of. So if you didn't buy it then, you wouldn't buy it now.
There are rare finds to be had at the sale, but don't go in with high expectations. Sale runs through Jan 29.
