Ten years ago SG had some really nice clothes, not everything, but each season there was one or two items that were real standouts and sold out immediately - I have a few of these pieces and still wear them today - classic clothes never go out of style.
Fast forward to today and I agree with the other posters - everything is ugly and looks the same. What is it with the "embellishments" that just make the item look cheap. She constantly states that her items are just like the famous designers - not quite. You are not finding these items are Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue.
I am currenty watching live - they actually want us to beleive that all this over priced clothing will sell out immediately - I'm sorry, everything looks the same and just looks "cheap". SG is constantly bragging that you can wear her current line to a board meeting or an important business dinner - I live on the east coast and if anyone walked into an important business meeting with one of the highlighted outfits, everyone will be talking and for all of the wrong reasons.
I am often complimented on my clothing and in generall, unless for something very special or a staple piece, I do not spent much for my clothes. With all the sales available, I buy my clothes from Talbots, J Crew, Chico, Brooks Brothers, Soft Surroundings, etc and spend much less that the SG "Sales price" and most are made from natural fabricc, not the wonderful liquid knit.
