Theory sample sale at Clothingline this week.

Theory, a line of modern, sleek women's clothing, is having a sample sale at Clothingline this week. Clothingline is a warehouse at 261 W 36th St. between 7th and 8th Ave, near the Macy's Herald Square, that hosts sample sales from various clothing stores and designers. The stuff you find here is sometimes sized incorrectly, marked with Sharpie on the inside, slightly irregular, or a one-of-a-kind, "tester" piece that ends up not making it into the designer's actual collection.

There are no mirrors or dressing rooms in the warehouse, and they actually discourage you from trying things on (like pulling a sweater over the clothes you're already wearing). You have to really know your size and know what you're looking for. Oh, and you'll have to really dig through the racks since nothing is really organized.

But it's awesome, and I highly recommend it. I got two dresses and a sweater from the J.Crew sale about a month ago. Yes, J. Crew sample sale.

This Monday through Saturday, Theory will be at Clothingline, and I'm so so sad because I don't know if I'll be able to make it. So, friends, if you can, buy some Theory for both of us.

A few things I like from Theory:

Sleek jeans a sexy white blouse.
Little black dress and a fun, flirty blazer.

Schoolboy blazer and a bubble skirt.
