I headed to Bloomies for their private sale tonight. Sometimes I wonder why they even call it private because the whole store is littered with sale signs. Right now most regular price items are 15% with a few being 30% off. There is an extra 40% on their sale/clearance items. I did some math and found out that their sale items are only 20% off. With the additional 40% off, it makes a total of 52% off the regular price. Definitely not an impressive sale since almost all of their sale items were very old, very ugly, and very ratty/dirty selections. With the department stores being very competitive these days with up to 70% off this is an unimpressive sale. Ladies, skip this one unless there was anything you wanted to buy anyways at regular price, at least you can get the sales tax and some change back. Even the extra $25 off $100 wasn't enticing enough nor the $15 Bloomies giftcard you get for spending every $100.
Btw, the Chicago store is a mess. In fact it was such a mess that I kept hearing the SAs saying "OMG this is a mess". Yes it is, clean it up. There were piles of clothing on tables and nothing is organized.

Report: Saks Consolidation Sale
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.
