The Choosy Beggar

You can already shop Barneys Warehouse Sale online. If you want to get your hands dirty, though, the physical sale starts tomorrow, 8/22 (at the Metropolitan Pavilion!) — and goes through 9/2. As longtime readers know, you never crack your wallet on Day 1. We typically hold out until the serious markdowns take effect toward the end of the event. Whenever you visit, stay focused with a wish list, and stick to your sizing sections — It’s a jungle in there.
