It's that time again: the LF sale. Twice a year, girls from all over the United States flock to the closest LF store to them. The LF sale is a perfect place to find the trendiest clothes of the season for 60 percent off. Let me rephrase that -- everything in the store is 60 percent off. The catch is, you never know when the sale is going to happen. All you know is it is right before they get their winter collection and summer collection. As the normal sale season approaches, girls reload their Instagram feed waiting for the exciting news of the LF sale beginning and within hours, the store looks like it has been attacked by animals.
This past weekend, I ventured off to NYC to go to the sale and here are a list of thoughts I had while I was there.
1. Why is nothing folded?
2. How am I supposed to find anything.
3. This is a freaking scavenger hunt.
4. (Finds cute item.) Oh, it's not my size -- not like I'm going to find that cute shirt again.
5. No wonder they have chairs -- this is tiring.
6. (Finds cute item in my size.) I found the hidden treasure.
7. This sweater is originally $218, but it is adorable -- I'm going to refrain from doing the math and just try it on.
8. I probably have, like, $1,000 worth of clothes in my hands. It's time to try some stuff on.
9. Of course, the dressing room line is so long -- I guess I'll just have to keep shopping until it gets shorter.
10. (Picks up another 10 items.)
11. Why is the girl working here trying to convince me to try something on in an XS? That won't even cover my right boob.
12. If my mom ever came here, she would leave within five minutes.
13. I think the store is at capacity -- I literally can't move without touching another human.
14. Do they even get customers during the regular season?
15. Why is the girl working here handing me more clothes?
16. Finally time to try things on.
17. Of course, I love the sweater.
18. And the jeans.
19. And the 10 other sweaters I tried on...
20. I mean I only come here twice a year -- I guess I can get it all right? I mean it is 60 percent off.
The LF sale is definitely a once-in-a-season shopping experience that I don't think I could handle more than twice a year. If you haven't been to the LF near you yet, make sure to go soon before the sale ends!
