Pre 4th of July Outlet Shopping

If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, you usually will see me post all my shopping excursions. I figured it’s much easier to see everything in one post, so here is a quick round-up of yesterday’s shopping adventure.
BANANA REPUBLIC FACTORY
OutletFinds01.jpg
Striped cotton t-shirt dress w/button tab sleeves {style #916805}- size PXXS ($12.99)

This was so comfortable and cheap, I figured I couldn’t go wrong. It reminds me of the J.Crew out of town t-shirt dress that I missed out on last year. The cotton is super soft and is much better quality than my F21 striped dress which is pilling up.  Don’t forget, if you have a AAA membership, you get an additional 10% off.  
Verdict: Purchased

OutletFinds02.jpg
Teal Green Lattice sheath dress {style #201442}- size 0P $89.99 w/60% off? (not sure)

I liked the color and the lattice detailing but the material was wrinkle prone and they didn’t have my size anyways. 
Verdict: Passed
OutletFinds16.jpg
Sheer orange striped neck tie blouse {style #892619} – size XS (on sale for $7.97 + 40% +10% off AAA)

The clearance section at the BR factory is always super chaotic and messy. I almost didn’t bother because I couldn’t squeeze through the crown of women going crazy.  I did manage to find this cute top for only $4. It’s regular sizing but surprisingly the arm holes are decent and the fit is not too wide.
Verdict: Purchased
ANN TAYLOR FACTORY
OutletFinds1.jpg
Canvas Stripe Peeptoe pumps {style #” 276742} – size 5.5 (on sale for $54.77 + 50% off)

The color is really navy/cream, not sure why my pictures turn navy into black.  I fell in love with these and couldn’t locate a size 5 anywhere in the U.S. These surprisingly fit similar to Ann Taylor perfect pumps in size 5. I added some padding and it fits okay. 
Verdict: Purchased (for $27, heck yes)
AnnTaylorFactoryitems.jpg
Left: Ann Taylor navy crochet lace dress {style #280570} on sale for $50 after discounts
Right: Orange side zip mini skirt {style #285442} $35 after 50% off (similar to the regular AT version last Fall)

Verdict: Passed on both
J.CREW FACTORY
OutletFinds17.jpg
J.Crew factory bell skirt in neon azalea – size 0 (cheaper online HERE)
I must warn you, this skirt is unlined and semi-sheer. You have to wear nude panties and possibly a short slip. The fit is pouffy but is super cute as a casual skirt.
Verdict: Purchased
JCrewoutletTravelpouch.jpg
Striped jewelry pouch {forgot tag} – $11.99 after discounts

This was so cute and I debated on whether to get it or not. I regrettably passed and now am kicking myself.
Verdict: Passed but still want
SAKS off the 5th

It was the first time I have ever seen Chanel clothes along with D&G, Fendi and many other high end designers at the Saks outlet. The SA told me that it’s very rare and they just brought in the shipment just for 4th of July.

Left: Dolce and Gabbana strapless sweatheart polka dot dress – size 38
Right: Fendi jacquard blazer – size 38

I have never tried on super high end designer clothes before and I must say, the quality is amazing. The bottom of the dress was quite wide and long. The blazer fit really nicely, almost perfectly. Both were very expensive but was on sale at 40% off.
Verdict: Passed on the dress, took the Fendi blazer home

NEIMEN MARCUS LAST CALL

Theory Sonyn Patchwork Wool Jacket

I was so sad this wasn’t my size. I love everything about it. If anyone ever  comes across this in an XS, please let me know! 
Did anyone else go to the outlet’s and what did you score?

  3. We have a place called the Jersey Shore Premium Outlets, with a Gap, J. Crew, Loft, and Kate Spade outlet. Lots of damage to be done. I saved a boatload this week at the Gap – I paid about 50 dollars for 160 worth of clothing. Ridiculous savings! Looks like you didn’t so bad yourself! = )

  5. Hi Annie,
    I love the Fendi blazer; so excited you got it. The D&G dress looks great on you – too bad it was not quite right. I also love the stripy AT pumps! They are so adorable for summer. I think as I get older (much older than you!) I am going for the better quality designer stuff. I am starting to look online at ebay for designer clothes but I’m scared to order it for fear of it not fitting right. *Sigh* 🙁

  7. I was so tempted to get the Ann Taylor striped peep toe pumps but stop myself. I didn’t think I need them. Love the items you got.
