Just Another Reason to Love JCrew!

THE JCREW OUTLETS!

Last weekend Ander and I headed out to Vegas.  We went to the Premium Outlet Mall just off of the strip.  Now, I am not usually an outlet mall sort of girl.  I honestly feel bad for the clothes since they have to live in big piles with gross bargain shoppers sifting through them all day.  I can't handle the mess and the crowds.  Wow, that makes me sound both a little bit crazy and snooty.  But, whatever, it's totally true.  This time, though, I braved the JCrew outlet since I love JCrew dresses SO much and Ander loves their jeans.

We were successful, to put it mildly.  I don't think Andrew will need new jeans  for years.  I, of course, will need new dresses very soon, but that's just how I roll.

AND the best thing ever was that everything is cheaper (since it's an outlet) AND they were having a President's Day Sale, so everything was an additional 30-40% off!  AND THEN I remembered that they do a teacher discount (I forget this EVERYTIME I shop there usually), and they totally deducted it from my total.  SCORE!

I got 3 dresses - two of which I have been eyeing for MONTHS! - and 5 teachery/school type tops.  Each of those dresses started out at $98 - I know this since I own the dress on the right in yellow, royal blue, and black.  I realize that I have a problem.

Andrew got 4 pairs of jeans (he put one on as soon as we got back to the hotel, so it's missing from the picture) and 4 polo shirts.  Clearly we find a style and just go with it.  Andrew's jeans started out at $98 - Again I know this because he already owns 2 pair, but they discontinued the style.....but they were at the outlet.

The total was......drumroll please......

$423!  The magical receipt told me that I saved $324.94 and that made me VERY happy.  Want to know what made me even happier?  We had a $100 Discover gift card, so we only had to pay $323 out of pocket.  Just my 3 dresses would have cost that normally!

I actually really enjoyed shopping with Andrew too, it's not really something that we normally do together.  Most of the time I buy something and then bring it home only to have Andrew tell me that he doesn't like it.  It was nice to have him there as a consultant.  :)

Needless to  say, our cheap trip to Vegas died and we spent a little more than planned, BUT it will now be a "must see" on every future trip to Vegas!
