I went to check out the Austin Designer Sample Sale today at Linda Asaf's studio. It was fun to get to see up close some of the clothes I have seen in fashion shows recently, such as Malissa Long's designs that I saw in the Les Artistes show. I also got to see some new stuff and meet some designers that I was not as familiar with. There were also some really good deals to be taken advantage of. I, however, was not in the position to be spending ANY money, so I stayed away.
