From the Racked Mailbag: "I was just at the Mint sample sale, and it's great right now. Only about four other girls shopping, three mirrors, and about eight full racks of Spring and Summer clothing. Tons of sizes, from 0-12, in every style, and lots of beautiful dresses, shirts, skirts, sweaters, and pants. Dresses were between $180-350, and shirts, skirts and pants looked to be around $100. So not amazing prices, but worth going to even in the rain!" [Racked Inbox]
