The Basement of the Bargains

Newport News is having a sale on their clearance sales. That means you can get 25% off on styles that were already marked down to terrific prices, if you just use their handy dandy discount code. What’s not to love about that?

Take, for instance, this bright and breezy poly/spandex jersey knit surplice-style halter top.

It comes in four mouth-watering colors (Magenta, Chartreuse, Ocean Blue, or - as shown - in Orange), and sizes from XS to XL. Oh, and yes, all sizes are available in all colors…or at least they were when I started writing this!

With swim season coming up, a lot of us are looking for new suits. I don’t know about you, but I find myself entranced by this fun and funky Gottex one-piece in a vibrant, Pucci-esque print.

It has an interior soft cup shelf bra and flexible side boning for a combination of support and comfort. It’s also fully lined. Oh, and the spaghetti straps are removable if you’re in need of an even tan line.

Best of all, Bluefly.com has it on sale for just $77.00. That’s 40% off the suggested retail price of $128.00.

Yes, I know it’s still icy outside. No, you haven’t taken down the Christmas tree or rung in the New Year. On the other hand, cruise season is rapidly approaching and now is the time to prepare.

Luckily enough, Newport News is holding a sale on their 2008 swimwear line. This is your chance to get a pretty, fashionable new suit at a bargain price. For instance, this lovely Shape Fix bandeau suit comes in six different colors and Tall and Women’s sizes as well as Regular. It features an underwire keyhole, shelf bra, as well as front and back power-mesh control for a firmer look. Normally, it sells for $49.00 to $54.00, but right now you can get it for $39.00 to $44.00.

There’s nothing like being fabulous, fashionable, and frugal all at the same time.
