So, it's no real surprise: all those drastic Christmas sales didn't go as well as retailers had hoped. In fact, the outlook is pretty bleak–many are predicting more and more closures and bankruptcies, joining big name stores like Circuit City, Linens 'n Things, Sharper Image, Steve N Barry and Mervyn's.
Retailers are beginning to slash at any cost just to get rid of all the inventory they had prior to the holiday season. Forty-, 50- and even 60-percent off aren't too hard to find in shops, department stores, boutiques and online.
Locally designed and distributed EC Star is hosting a 50-percent off everything sale on their website full of women's clothing that's the perfect mixture of femme, mod and punk. Check out favorites like the Dana jacket in black/white or red/black flannel ($40) or the ultra mod Go Go dress ($35). Sale ends tomorrow, so act fast to get your size. (Pictured left: the Suzy Dress, $45.)
Karmaloop, a longtime destination for those seeking clothing, sneakers and accessories on the more “urban” side of things (think: sneakerhead), is hosting a half-off everything sale on their website as well, which carries everything from Betsey Johnson, TOMS shoes, WESC and Jeffrey Campbell to OBEY and tokidoki. Use the discount code HOLIDAYS for a sixty-percent off discount–valid through the end of the day.
