Equestrian Chic Without The Line At The Hermes Sample Sale

Just because I am not hearty enough to skip work and wait on line 4 hours at the Metropolitan Pavilion for the privilege of buying a $1050 white button down shirt at the Hermes sample sale doesn't mean I can't appreciate a fine equestrian print or buttery leather belt from the purveyors of all things luxuriously French.

I just don't want the hassle.

That's why I was thrilled to come across this sleek Ralph Lauren blouse on sale:

Available at Bloomingdales for only $62.95, pushy sample sale line cutters not included.

I can't imagine paying that much for a white shirt.

It's funny how much people pay for that look, when if they went down to the tack shop, they could get the real thing for a fraction of the price.

man, those prices are not worth writing home about! though i must say, i'm dying for one of their double-wrap watches.

I thought for a brief second about going down there, and I'm so glad I didn't. But someday, an Hermes scarf will be mine! love the RL!

That is an excellent find! And quite a steal. I scored a RL marching band jacket the other day for $30. So satisfying!
