District Sample Sale, March 16, 2010

We know, we know. It might seem like paying to go sale-shopping is sort of counterproductive. But the District Sample Sale is not just any sale.
First of all, it's a pretty decent party, with an open bar, tons of yummy appetizers and a never-ending torrent of cupcakes. The event takes place throughout a huge, gorgeous Georgetown house (OK, it's sort of two houses -- or three -- put together) at 3336 M St. N.W. There's usually juuuust enough room to snag a high table to sip your champagne at while you internally debate your fiscal irresponsibility -- but do it after you've torn through display after display. There's no time to waste here!
Tons of local boutiques -- including Proper Topper, Sangaree, Urban Chic and Wink -- bring their unsold merch to the twice-annual sale. You can snap up serious deals on designer brands that often include Theory, Milly, Vivienne Tam and more.
Tickets are $40 for general admission (6:30-9:20 p.m.) or $100 for the VIP, which gets you in an hour ahead of the riffraff, and also entitles you to a pretty sweet gift bag. Ticket proceeds always go to charity; this time around it's CityDance Early Arts, which helps kids from D.C.'s most underserved neighborhoods gain access to free dance classes and shows. by " Carissa Dimargo"
