Wolford Sale on GILT

I haven’t been on Gilt.com and bought much stuff on there lately but made sure I got on today at noon for the Wolford sale! Add a few Zac Posen for Wolford tights to my cart before they got all scooped up! Love Wolford tights, the Zac Posen collaboration designs are nice. Wish they had basic black opaque tights though, too bad. It’s tights season, so stock up, pricing starts at $26 for tights.
