By Order of the Board of Directors, ALAN KANE Chairman of the Board April __ , 2006 BLUEFLY, INC. 42 West 39th Street New York, New York 10018 ---------- PROXY STATEMENT This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors (the "Board of Directors") of Bluefly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), of proxies to be used at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company to be held at 11:00 a.m., local time, on May 19, 2006 at the Company's offices at 42 West 39th Street, 9th Floor, New York, New York, and at any adjournment thereof. The purposes of the meeting are: 1. To elect six directors of the Company to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders; 2. To approve an amendment (the "Charter Amendment") to the Company's certificate of incorporation, which would increase the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), the Company is authorized to issue from 92,000,000 to 152,000,000; 3. To approve certain anti-dilution adjustment provisions of the Company's Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions"); 4. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting. If proxy cards in the accompanying form are properly executed and returned, the shares of the Common Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series C Preferred Stock"), Series D Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock"), Series E Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series E Preferred Stock,") and Series F Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Series F Preferred Stock," and, together with the Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock and the Series E Preferred Stock, the "Voting Stock"), represented thereby will be voted as instructed on the proxy. If no instructions are given, such shares will be voted (i) for the election as directors of the nominees of the Board of Directors named below; (ii) for the approval of the Charter Amendment; (iii) for the approval of the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions; and (iv) in the discretion of the proxies named in the proxy card on any other proposals to properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Any proxy may be revoked by a stockholder of record prior to its exercise upon written notice to the Secretary of the Company, or by the vote of such stockholder cast in person at the meeting. The approximate date of mailing of this Proxy Statement and accompanying form of proxy is April 7, 2006. VOTING Holders of record Voting Stock as of the close of business on April 5, 2006 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters to come before the stockholders at the meeting. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole number) into which such share is convertible as of the Record Date. As of the Record Date: (a) each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into approximately 8.6 shares of Common Stock, and therefore, entitles the holder thereof to nine votes on all matters to come before the meeting; (b) each share of Series B Preferred Stock was convertible into approximately 3.1 shares of Common Stock and, therefore, entitles the holder thereof to four votes on all matters to come before the meeting; (c) each share of Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock was convertible into approximately 1,315.79 shares of Common Stock and, therefore, entitles the holder thereof to 1,316 votes on all matters to come before the meeting; and (d) each share of Series F Preferred Stock was convertible into approximately 431.05 shares of Common Stock and, therefore, entitles the holder thereof to 432 votes on all matters to come before the meeting, other than the approval of the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions, on which matter the holders of Series F Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote pursuant to the certificate of designations relating to the Series F Preferred Stock. None of the Voting Stock is entitled to cumulative voting. Holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. As of the Record Date, there were shares of Common Stock outstanding, each entitled to one vote, 460,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, each entitled to nine votes, 8,889,414 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, each entitled to four votes, 1,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, each entitled to 1,316 votes, 5,386.745 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, each entitled to 1,316 votes, 1,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, each entitled to 1,316 votes, and 3,857 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, each entitled to 432 votes. The total number of votes entitled to be cast at the meeting is, therefore, . Abstentions and so-called "broker non-votes" (instances in which brokers are prohibited from exercising discretionary authority for beneficial owners who have not returned a proxy) are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. The favorable vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of shares of Voting Stock, (other than the Series F Preferred Stock) present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, voting together as a class, is necessary to approve the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions; the favorable vote of a majority of the outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a class, and a majority of the outstanding Common Stock, voting separately as a class, is necessary to approve the Charter Amendment; and the favorable vote of a plurality of the votes cast by holders of shares of Voting Stock, present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, voting together as a class, is necessary to elect the nominees for the directors of the Company. Abstentions and broker non-votes will (a) not be counted as votes cast with respect to, and therefore will have no effect on, the election of directors and the approval of the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions; and (b) will act as votes against the Charter Amendment. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the proposals set forth above. PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Six directors are to be elected at the meeting to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors has recommended the persons named in the table below as nominees for election as directors. All such persons are presently directors of the Company. Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying proxy, the shares voted pursuant to it will be voted for the persons named below as nominees for election as directors. If, for any reason, at the time of the election, any of the nominees should be unable or unwilling to accept election, such proxy will be voted for the election, in such nominee's place, of a substitute nominee recommended by the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve as a director. The Board of Directors also includes two members who are not elected by the holders of the Common Stock, and whose election is, therefore, not to be considered at the meeting. One of these directors (the "Series A Preferred Designee") is elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, and the other (the "Series B Preferred Designee," and, together with the Series A Preferred Designee, the "Preferred Designees") is elected by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The Board of Directors reviewed the independence of each of the Company's directors in February 2006 on the basis of the standards adopted by Nasdaq. In this review, the Board of Directors considered transactions and relationships between the Company, on the one hand, and each director, members of his or her immediate family, and other entities with which he or she is affiliated, on the other hand. The purpose of this review was to determine which of such transactions or relationships were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent under the Nasdaq rules. As a result of this review, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined that Messrs. Kane, Erdos, McCann and Miller and Ms. Jackson are each "independent directors" within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules. Although five of the eight directors are independent, the two Preferred Designees (who are not independent) are each entitled to seven votes on any matter that comes before the Board of Directors, and, accordingly, these directors control 14 of the 20 possible votes on the Board of Directors. It is unclear whether this voting structure provides the Company with a majority of independent directors within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules. However, because a majority of the voting power of the Company's capital stock is owned by affiliates of Soros Private Equity ("Soros"), the Board of Directors has determined that it is appropriate for the Company to rely upon the "Controlled Company" exemption provided by Nasdaq rules. Accordingly, Nasdaq rules do not require that a majority of the Company's Board of Directors be independent, and, similarly, do not require that all of the members of the Nominating Committee (as defined below) be independent. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Board of Directors met, or acted by unanimous written consent, on 7 occasions. Each of the directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and committee(s) on which he or she served during the 2005 fiscal year. The Company does not have a policy with regard to the attendance by directors at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Kane and Ms.Payner-Gregor attended last year's annual meeting of stockholders. So long as at least 60% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of August 26, 1999 remain issued and outstanding, the Series A Preferred Designee is entitled to seven votes on any matter to come before the Board of Directors. So long as 60% of the Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of February 5, 2001 remains issued and outstanding, the Series B Preferred Designee is entitled to seven votes on any matter to come before the Board of Directors. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, such minimum amounts of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding and, therefore, the Preferred 4 Designees are entitled to cast 14 out of 20 votes to be cast by Board of Directors on any matter to come before the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee ("Audit Committee") in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Audit Committee is comprised of Barry Erdos, Alan Kane, Chris McCann and Martin Miller. Mr. Erdos acts as Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment of the Company's outside accountants, examining the results of audits, reviewing internal accounting controls and reviewing related party transactions. The duties of the Audit Committee are fully set forth in the charter adopted by that committee, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Erdos is an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and that each member of the Audit Committee is "independent," as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Audit Committee, met, or acted by unanimous written consent, on 4 occasions. The information contained in this paragraph (other than the first sentence hereof) shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference the Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts. The Board of Directors also has established an Option Plan/Compensation Committee ("Option Plan/Compensation Committee") consisting of Neal Moszkowski and Martin Miller. The Option Plan/Compensation Committee administers the Plan, as well as the Company's 1997, 2000 and 2005 Stock Option Plans, establishes the compensation levels for executive officers and key personnel and oversees the Company's bonus plans. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Option Plan/Compensation Committee, met, or acted by unanimous written consent, on 14 occasions. The Board of Directors also established a Nominating and Governance Committee ("Nominating Committee"), consisting of Alan Kane and David Wassong. Mr. Kane is an independent director under Nasdaq rules. While Mr. Wassong is not an independent director under Nasdaq rules, he is permitted to sit on the Nominating Committee pursuant to the "Controlled Company" exemption discussed above. The purposes of the Nominating Committee are to assist the Board of Directors by identifying individuals qualified to become directors, and setting criteria for, and evaluating, candidates for director nominees, and to recommend to the Board of Directors the director nominees for election at the annual meetings of stockholders or for appointments to fill vacancies; recommend to the Board of Directors nominees for each committee of the Board of Directors; advise the Board of Directors about appropriate composition of the Board and its committees; advise the Board of Directors about and recommend to the Board of Directors appropriate corporate governance practices and to assist the Board of Directors in implementing those practices; lead the Board of Directors in its annual review of the performance of the Board of Directors and its committees; and perform such other functions as the Board of Directors may assign to it from time to time. The duties of the Nominating Committee are fully set forth in the charter adopted by that committee, a copy of which was included as an annex to the proxy statement for the Company's 2004 annual Meeting. The Nominating Committee acted once by unanimous written consent during 2005, although it also met on a less formal basis a number of times throughout the year. The Nominating Committee will consider many factors when evaluating candidates for the nomination to the Board of Directors, with the goal of fostering a Board of Directors comprised of directors with a variety of experience and backgrounds. Important factors that will be considered as part of the Nominating Committee's evaluation include (without limitation) diversity, skill, specialized expertise, experience, business acumen, understanding of strategy and policy-setting. Depending upon the Company's then-current needs, certain factors may be weighed more or less heavily. In considering candidates for the Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee will consider the entirety of each candidate's credentials and does not have any specific minimum qualifications that must be met. However, the Nominating Committee does believe that all members of the Board of Directors should have the highest character and integrity and sufficient time to devote to Company matters. The Nominating Committee will consider persons recommended by stockholders as candidates for nomination as a director. Recommendations should be submitted to the Secretary of the Company. Each recommendation should include a personal biography of the suggested candidate, an indication of the background or experience that qualifies such person for consideration, and a statement that such person has agreed to serve if nominated and elected. Stockholders who wish to nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors 5 themselves, rather than recommending a candidate to the Nominating Committee for potential nomination by the Board of Directors, must comply with applicable law. Communication by stockholders may be made to any or all of the members of the Board of Directors by writing directly to them c/o Bluefly, Inc., 42 West 39th Street, New York, New York 10018. The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to all directors, officers and employees, which meets the requirements of a "code of ethics" as defined in Item 406 of Regulation S-K, and maintains procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of complaints regarding the Company's accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters and other issues. A copy of the Company's code of ethics is available on the Company's Web site at www.bluefly.com. Any amendment to or waiver of a provision of the code of ethics that applies to the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions and relates to elements of the code specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission will be posted on the Web site. REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Audit Committee met and held discussions with management and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"). The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2005 with management and has discussed with the independent public accountants the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, "Communication with Audit Committees." The Company's independent public accountants also provided to the Audit Committee certain written communications and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees." The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent public accountants their independence from the Company. Based on the Audit Committee's review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2005 be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Option Plan/Compensation Committee works closely with management to design an executive compensation program to assist the Company in attracting and retaining outstanding executives and senior management personnel. The design and implementation of such program continually evolves as the Company grows, but is based primarily on two elements: (i) providing compensation opportunities that are competitive with competing companies of similar size; and (ii) linking executives' compensation with the Company's financial performance by rewarding the achievement of short-term and long-term objectives of the Company. Compensation Program Components. Currently, the three principal components of the Company's executive compensation program are: (i) annual base salary, (ii) short-term incentive compensation in the form of performance bonuses payable in cash each year, and (iii) long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options. These programs are structured in accordance with the Option Plan/Compensation Committee's objectives and philosophy. Base Salary. Base salary levels for the Company's executives are designed to be reflective of competitive conditions in the marketplace for executives of comparable talent and experience and are based on responsibility and performance. Base salaries for executives are generally recommended by executive management for the review and approval of the Option Plan/Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors (subject to applicable employment agreements). Short-Term Incentive Compensation. The short-term incentive compensation component consists of performance bonuses. The amount of any bonus is determined, in part, based on individual and corporate goals that are set annually and, in some instances, every six months. Bonuses paid to each executive are based in part on measuring which of these goals have been realized (subject to applicable employment agreements). Long-Term Incentive Compensation. The long-term incentive compensation component consists of stock option plans under which executives may be granted stock options exercisable to purchase shares of Common Stock. The exercise price of stock options represents the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, which is the average of the closing bid and ask price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market for the business day preceding the date of grant. Generally, the stock options become exercisable in equal monthly increments over three or four years (often subject to a six month "cliff" provision) and expire ten years from the date of grant. The deferred vesting provisions of the stock options are designed to reward long-term contributions and create an incentive for executives to remain with the Company. The Option Plan/Compensation Committee believes that granting stock options creates an incentive to promote the long-term interests of the Company and aligns the economic benefit to be derived therefrom by the Company's executives with those of the Company's outside shareholders. Stock options are granted by the Option Plan/Compensation Committee to key employees based on management's recommendation, and levels of participation in the plan generally vary based on the employee's position with the Company. In 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, which authorizes the grant of stock options, restricted stock and other forms of equity compensation. The Option Plan/Compensation Committee may determine to grant restricted stock rather than options in certain circumstances in the future. CEO Compensation. Ms. Payner-Gregor's employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $450,000, subject to increase by the Board of Directors, and an annual bonus to be determined by the Board of Directors. In March 2005, Ms. Payner-Gregor's annual base salary was raised to $500,000. Her annual bonus for each fiscal year during her agreement cannot be less than 3% of the Company's net income for such fiscal year (or $100,000, if greater), and is subject to a cap equal to 200% of her base salary. Subject to the provisions of her employment agreement, her compensation is determined annually by the Option Plan/Compensation Committee based on her compensation in prior years and the compensation of CEO's of similarly sized companies in the internet retailing industry. The Option Plan/Compensation Committee and Ms. Payner-Gregor are currently negotiating an extension of her employment agreement. Base Salary. During fiscal 2005, Ms. Payner-Gregor received an annual base salary of $500,000. Short-term Incentive Compensation. Ms. Payner-Gregor received a performance bonus of $100,000 for fiscal 2005, which was awarded and paid in 2006. 17 Long-term Incentive Compensation. During fiscal 2005, Ms. Payner-Gregor was granted 450,000 options to purchase Common Stock. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation over $1.0 million paid to a Company's chief executive officer and certain other highly compensated executive officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The long-term incentive compensation plan adopted by the Company has been structured to comply with the requirements under Code Section 162(m) regarding qualifying performance-based compensation to provide for the deductibility of compensation payable thereunder. The Option Plan/Compensation Committee does not expect that the total cash and non-cash compensation under plans not qualifying for Code Section 162 (m) received by any executive of the Company in fiscal 2006 will exceed $1.0 million. OPTION PLAN/COMPENSATION COMMITTEE NEAL MOSZKOWSKI MARTIN MILLER The foregoing report of the Option Plan/Compensation Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference the Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts. 18 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation paid by the Company during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 to the Company's Named Executive Officers who received total compensation from the Company in excess of $100,000.

Ms. Payner-Gregor's and Mr. Barry's employment agreements also provide for the immediate vesting of any stock options held by such Named Executive Officer upon the occurrence of certain events classified as a "Change In Control". In addition, Ms. Payner-Gregor's and Mr. Barry's employment agreements provide that upon the occurrence of certain events classified as a "Change of Control" in which cash, securities or other consideration is paid or payable, or otherwise to be distributed directly to the Company's stockholders, each such Named Executive shall receive a bonus equal to a percentage of the proceeds received by the Company's stockholders. An extension of each of the employment agreements of Ms. Payner-Gregor and Mr. Barry is currently being negotiated.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION The Company's independent, outside non-employee directors are paid a cash stipend of $1,500 for each board or committee meeting attended in person (and, in the case of the Audit Committee Chairman, $2,000 per audit committee meeting) and are reimbursed for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. In addition, each such director is paid an annual retainer of $10,000 at the first regularly scheduled Board meeting of each fiscal year. The maximum aggregate stipend and retainer paid to any such director in a year is $16,000 (or, in the case of the Audit Committee Chairman, $18,000). Each non-employee director receives an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock (25,000 shares in the case of the Chairman of the Board and 20,000 shares in the case of the Chairman of the Audit Committee) at the time of the first regularly scheduled Board meeting after such director is appointed to the Board of Directors and an annual grant of an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock (20,000 shares in the case of the Chairman of the Board and 12,500 shares in the case of the Chairman of the Audit Committee) at the first regularly scheduled Board meeting of each fiscal year (even if such director is receiving an option in connection with his or her appointment at such meeting). 21 STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH The following is a comparison of the cumulative total stockholder return of Common Stock with the cumulative total return of the NASDAQ National Stock Market Index and the CRSP Total Return Industry for Retail Trade Stocks for the period from December 31, 2000 though December 31, 2005.

The maturity dates of the Notes, which were originally due in January and April 2004, respectively, were each extended for one year, from May 1, 2006 to May 1, 2007. TRANSACTIONS WITH SOROS RELATING TO THE CREDIT FACILITY In July 2005, the Company entered into a new three year revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC ("Wells Fargo"). Pursuant to the Credit Facility, Wells Fargo provides the Company with a revolving loan and issues letters of credit in favor of suppliers or factors. The Credit Facility is secured by a lien on all of the Company's assets, as well as a $2,000,000 letter of credit issued by Soros in favor of Wells Fargo (the "Soros LC"). Availability under the Credit Facility is determined by a formula that takes into account the amount of the Company's inventory and accounts receivable, as well as the Soros LC. Subject to certain conditions, if the Company defaults on any of its obligations under the Credit Facility, Wells Fargo has the right to draw upon the Soros LC to satisfy any such obligations. If Wells Fargo draws on the Soros LC, pursuant to the terms of a reimbursement agreement between the Company and Soros, the Company would have the obligation to, among other things, reimburse Soros for any amounts drawn under the Soros LC plus interest accrued thereon. In addition, the Company is required to pay Soros Fund Management LLC an annual fee in connection with the issuance and maintenance of the Soros LC in an amount equal to the fee that the Company would be required to pay in order to have a similar letter of credit issued under the Credit Facility. For the year beginning on the date of the closing of the Credit Facility this formula requires an annual fee of $55,000. The Company is also required to reimburse Soros for any costs and expenses associated with the issuance and maintenance of the Soros LC. In connection with the Soros LC, the Company granted the Soros Fund a subordinated lien on substantially all of its assets, including its cash balances, in order to secure its reimbursement obligations. If the Company defaults under the loan facility, Wells Fargo and/or the Soros Fund would be entitled, among other things, to foreclose on the Company's assets in order to satisfy its obligations under the loan facility. SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company's Common Stock (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of the Common Stock. Reporting Persons are required to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports. During 2005, Martin Keane, our Senior Vice President of E-Commerce, was late in filing a Form 4 relating to a stock option grant, but did file the required form. To the Company's knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to us, the Company believes that during the 2005 fiscal year all Reporting Persons complied with all applicable Section 16(a) reporting requirements except as noted above. PROPOSAL TWO. APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT The Company's Certificate of Incorporation presently authorizes the issuance by the Company of up to 117,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 92,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"). As of the Record Date there were shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, and an additional shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock or upon the exercise of outstanding warrants or options issued under the Company's stock option plans leaving a balance of shares of Common Stock authorized and 23 available for issuance. Furthermore, the Company's stock option plans provide for the issuance of options to purchase up to an additional shares of Common Stock. In addition, although the Company's certificate of incorporation permits the Company to pay dividends on its preferred stock in either cash or common stock, there are not currently enough authorized shares of Common Stock to pay all accrued dividends in Common Stock, after giving effect to the reservations for Common Stock described above. Accordingly, if the Charter Amendment is not approved, we could be required to pay a significant amount of such dividends in cash, and there can be no assurance that such cash would be available. Because of the limited number of shares of Common Stock available to be issued, the Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and voted to recommend that the stockholders approve, the Charter Amendment pursuant to which the number of shares of Common Stock which the Company would be authorized to issue would be increased from 92,000,000 to 152,000,000 shares. If the Charter Amendment is approved by the stockholders at the annual meeting, the Company intends to file an amendment to its certificate of incorporation (substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as soon as reasonably practicable and it will become effective upon filing. The additional shares of Common Stock, when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock now issued. There are no pre-emptive rights relating to the Common Stock. Any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock would increase the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock and (unless such issuance was pro-rata among existing stockholders) the percentage ownership of existing stockholders would be diluted accordingly. The dilutive effect of such an issuance could discourage a change in control of the Company by making it more difficult or costly. The Company is not aware of anyone seeking to accumulate Common Stock or obtain control of the Company, and has no present intention to use the additional authorized shares to deter a change in control. Although the Company does not presently have any specific plans, intentions, agreements, understandings or arrangements regarding the issuance of the proposed additional shares of Common Stock, the Company is exploring various alternatives for the raising of additional equity capital. The Board of Directors believes that an increase in the authorized Common Stock would provide the Company with increased flexibility in the future to issue capital stock in connection with public or private offerings, stock dividends, financing transactions, employee benefit plans and other proper corporate purposes. Moreover, having such additional authorized shares of Common Stock available will give the Company the ability to issue stock without the expense and delay of a special meeting of stockholders, which delay might deprive the Company of the flexibility the Board of Directors views as important in facilitating the effective use of the Company's stock. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or stock exchange rules, authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock may be issued at such time, for such purpose and for such consideration as the Board of Directors may determine to be appropriate, without further authorization by stockholders. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the Charter Amendment. PROPOSAL THREE. SERIES F ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS On June 24, 2005, the Company issued 7,000 shares of newly-designated Series F Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000. In connection with this financing, the Company designated 7,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Series F Preferred Stock bears a cumulative compounding dividend at a rate of 7% per annum, payable upon conversion in cash or Common Stock, at the Company's option. The Series F Preferred Stock ranks rank pari passu with the Company's outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Preferred Stock, and Series E Preferred Stock, and senior to the Common Stock, with respect to the payment of distributions on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and with respect to the payment of dividends. All of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock vote with the Common Stock on an as-converted basis. The Company is entitled, subject to certain conditions, to redeem the shares of Series F Preferred Stock for cash at a price per share equal to the face value of such share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The holders of the Series F Preferred Stock have registration rights with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock. 24 Each share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at the rate of $2.32 in stated value per share of Common Stock, or approximately 431.05 shares of Common Stock. All issued and outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock are convertible into an aggregate of approximately 1,662,562 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 7.8% of the outstanding Common Stock. In addition to anti-dilution adjustments relating to Common Stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations and the like, the Series F Preferred Stock also contains anti-dilution provisions (the "Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions") pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions, in the event that the Company issues or sells Common Stock or new securities convertible into Common Stock in the future for less than $2.32 per share, but for $1.50 or more per share, the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock would be decreased on a weighted average basis, taking into account the number of new shares issued and the price at which such shares are issued. In the event that the Company issues or sells Common Stock or new securities convertible into Common Stock in the future for less than $1.50 per share, the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock would be decreased to the price at which such Common Stock or other new securities are sold. The Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions are subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders. A copy of the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions is attached hereto as Annex C and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Annex C. As a Nasdaq Capital Market - listed issuer, the Company is subject to the requirement that it obtain stockholder approval for any issuance of securities convertible into Common Stock at a price less than the greater of book or market value which equals, or exceeds 20% of the Common Stock or voting power outstanding before such issuance. While the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock was based on the market value of the Common Stock as of the date of issuance, the Company understands that Nasdaq may take the position that the inclusion of the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions may bring the Series F Preferred Stock within the coverage of the Nasdaq stockholder approval rules. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has determined that it is advisable to submit the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions to the approval of the Company's stockholders and the Certificate of Designations relating to the Series F Preferred Stock includes a provision that precludes any such anti-dilution adjustment from taking place until such time as the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions are so approved. Stockholder approval under Nasdaq's rules requires the vote of a simple majority of the shares present at any meeting and entitled to vote. Therefore, Soros beneficially owns sufficient shares of Common Stock (even excluding its shares of Series F Preferred Stock, which is not entitled to vote on this matter) to determine the outcome of the vote with respect to the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions. In connection with the Series F Preferred Stock Financing the Soros Funds agreed to vote all of their shares of the Company's stock (which represent a majority of the votes) in favor of such approval. The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of the Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions. INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as independent accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The Company's financial statements for the 2005 fiscal year were examined and reported upon by PwC. A representative of PwC will be present at the meeting, will be provided the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders. AUDIT FEES The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by PwC for the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements, including the reviews of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements included in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, for fiscal 2005 and 2004 were approximately $175,400 and $148,500, respectively. In addition, the Company paid PwC approximately $25,000 in connection with professional services rendered to it in connection with the filing of its registration statements on Forms S-3 and S-8 in 2005. All of the foregoing services rendered by PwC were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. 25 AUDIT RELATED FEES Other than the fees described under the caption "Audit Fees" above, PwC did not bill any fees for services rendered to the Company during fiscal 2005 and 2004 for assurance and related services in connection with the audit or review of the Company consolidated financial statements. TAX FEES PwC did not bill the Company for any professional services rendered to the Company during fiscal 2005 and 2004 for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning. OTHER FEES PwC did not bill the Company for any other professional services rendered during fiscal 2005 and 2004 other than those described under the caption "Audit Fees." AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES The Company's policy is that, before PwC is engaged by the Company to render audit or non-audit services, the engagement is approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated its Chairman, Barry Erdos, to approve non-audit services up to $15,000 on behalf of the Audit Committee. OTHER BUSINESS The Board of Directors currently knows of no other matters to be presented at the meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the meeting, or any adjournment thereof, it is intended that proxies in the accompanying form will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons named therein. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS The Company's bylaws provide that a stockholder who intends to present a proposal for stockholder vote at the Company's next annual meeting must give written notice to the Secretary of the Company not less than 90 days prior to the date that is one year from the date of this annual meeting. Accordingly, any such proposal must be received by the Company before February 17, 2007. The notice must contain specified information about the proposed business and the stockholder making the proposal. If a stockholder gives notice of a proposal after the deadline, the Company's proxy holders will have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal when and if raised at the next annual meeting. In addition, in order to include a stockholder proposal in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy for the next annual meeting, such proposal must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices no later than the close of business on December 7, 2006 and must otherwise comply with the rules of the Commission for inclusion in the proxy materials. COST OF SOLICITATION The cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form has been or will be borne by the Company. Directors, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or other means of communications. The Company has engaged D.F. King & Co., to solicit proxies. The anticipated cost to Bluefly is $8,000, plus expenses. Although there is no formal agreement to do so, arrangements may be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send proxies and proxy material to their principals, and the Company may reimburse them for any attendant expenses. WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE MEETING, PLEASE SIGN THE ENCLOSED PROXY AND RETURN IT IN THE ENCLOSED STAMPED AND ADDRESSED ENVELOPE AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE.

By: --------------------------------- Name: Melissa Payner-Gregor Title: Chief Executive Officer and President ANNEX C SERIES F PREFERRED ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN SERIES F PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS 6.6 Additional Adjustment. (a) In case the Corporation shall (i) sell or issue shares of its Common Stock, (ii) issue rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or (iii) issue or sell other rights for the purchase of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock (any such shares, rights, options, warrants or other securities issued in the case of one or more of the events described in the immediately preceding clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) (excluding those issuances referred to in Section 6.6(c) hereof) hereinafter referred to, collectively, the "Securities"), at a price per share (the "New Issue Price") less than the Series F Conversion Price, then in each such case the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Securities shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Securities by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the Securities plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received for the issuance of the Securities would purchase at the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Securities, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Securities (after giving effect to the full exercise, conversion or exchange, as applicable, of such Securities). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Corporation shall sell or issue any Securities at a New Issue Price less than $1.50, then, in each such case, the Series F Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Securities shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the New Issue Price. The adjustment provided for in this Section 6.6(a) shall be made successively whenever any Securities are issued (provided, however, that no further adjustments in the Series F Conversion Price shall be made upon the subsequent exercise, conversion or exchange, as applicable of such Securities pursuant to the original terms of such Securities) and shall become effective immediately after such issuance. In determining whether any Securities entitle the holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Series F Conversion Price, and in determining the New Issue Price of the shares of Common Stock so offered, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation for such Securities, any consideration required to be paid upon the exercise, conversion or exchange, as applicable, of such Securities and the value of all such consideration (if other than cash) shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. If any or all of such Securities are not so issued or expire or terminate without having been exercised, converted or exchanged, the Series F Conversion Price then in effect shall be appropriately readjusted to the Series F Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such Securities been made upon the basis of only the number of shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to Securities actually exercised, converted or exchanged. For purposes of this Section 6.6(a), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in treasury of the Corporation or by any subsidiary of the Corporation. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Section 6.6(a) shall not be effective until such time as the Corporation's stockholders prove the provisions contained therein (the "Series F Anti-Dilution Adjustment Provisions") to the extent such approval ("Stockholder Approval") is required by the rules of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or any other national securities exchange or quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed from time to time. To the extent that any Securities are, prior to the Corporation obtaining Stockholder Approval, issued at a New Issue Price that would, but for the foregoing sentence, result in an adjustment to the Series F Conversion Price: (i) the Series F Conversion Price shall be deemed immediately so adjusted upon the Corporation obtaining Stockholder Approval; and (ii) to the extent that any Holder converts any shares of Series Convertible Preferred Stock between the time of the issuance of such Securities and the time that Stockholder Approval is obtained, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, immediately upon the Corporation obtaining Stockholder Approval, an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the number of shares that such Holder would have received had the Series F Conversion Price been so adjusted as of the time of such conversion and the number of shares that such Holder actually received upon such conversion. (c) The provisions of Section 6.6(a) shall not apply at any time to: (a) the issuance of any equity securities issued at or above then fair market value pursuant to the Corporation's employee option or stock incentive plans approved by the Board of Directors of the Corporation; (b) any equity securities issued at then fair market value as consideration for services of non-employee third parties provided to the Corporation; and (c) the issuance of any equity securities pursuant to the exercise or conversion of convertible or other derivative securities outstanding as of the date hereof (provided no amendments to the terms of such conversion or exercise are made after the date hereof). 2 [FRONT] BLUEFLY, INC.
