1.   Back in Manhattan, on a recent Saturday at Bergdorf Goodman, the hallways containing the sale racks of fall and resort clothes were bustling with shoppers.

2.   For me, pay dirt came at the sale rack at the Gap outlet at Woodbury Common in Central Valley, N.Y.

3.   Lulu pulled a plaid, button-down short-sleeve shirt off the sale rack.

4.   Ms. Phillips designs some things and finds others in thrift stores, through costume houses or commercial designers or on sale racks in stores.

5.   Some stores also have sale racks and sale bins.

6.   The black, knee-length Fendi skirts that lined the sale rack last week proved a mistake.

7.   Last week, Calvin Klein put himself on the sale rack.
