Is it just us, or can a sale item actually look better once it's been marked from full price? We can't help but stare at a garment when a few hundred dollars gets knocked off its price tag, pushing our fantasies of ownership just a little closer to reality. This is the point where the item goes from pretty and appealing to absolutely irresistible — a moment that's usually reserved for the most epic of sample sales . If all this sounds like something that only happens in an impossible parallel shopping universe, let us direct you to Shopbop's sale section where such fashion anomalies are occurring right before our eyes.
