Top Ten Outlet Tips

<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">This weekend is <strong>Memorial Weekend</strong>! And since I slept through the post Thanksgiving sales (I didn't KNOW!!) I am not about to miss this one. Things are going to be at an all time low, and where to go then to an outlet right? Here are a few tips I picked up the last (and first!!) time I went to the outlets. </span><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Top Ten Tips for outlet shoppers:</span></strong><br /><ol><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Outlets are very far and you want to know someone with a <strong>car</strong>-otherwise the time needed to get there can be very dampening on the spirit</span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Outlets are usually <strong>outdoors</strong>, even though they're called an Outlet mall and in any normal people would inspire an image of an indoor mall. So bring a lightweight jacket (lightweight so as to not get in the way of shopping)</span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Outlets are rather big and <strong>require walking</strong>. And people tend to buy a lot of things, so minimize amount of carry on to your keys and wallet-maybe some water (but there's always the foodcourt. . ) so as to maximise the shopping bags you can hold at one time and wear comfortable slides (so you can try on shoes quicker!</span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Not all shops in outlets malls are outlets and sell items cheaper then normal. You must <strong>look carefully at prices</strong> and make you own judgement. Most of the times they have tags saying price before and "our price" so you know its cheaper, but sometimes your not so lucky. An example of this would be the PacSun and the Miss Sixty/Energie shop.</span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">In outlet stores, when you see something you like, you must <strong>grab and hold </strong>onto them, even if your not sure if you want to buy them or not. Because there are competitive shoppers around who has the eye of an eagle, and before you know it, its gone! This also applies to places like Filene's Basement as well. . . . . esp when your a size small. In the event of undecision, ask and see if they can hold it for you for an hour or two</span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">In the event of a huge confused queuing system, you are not supposed to ask people around if they're in the line or not. Just <strong>barge right in</strong> as if you were always there, and hope no one noticed. </span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><strong>Do not wear expensive branded items</strong> to outlet shopping. They will just appear incomparable against the super cheap items on sale and make you miss out on a super bargain like a pair of $40 <strong>Guess Jeans</strong>, which you can wear anywhere, mess around in, get dirty and you wouldn't feel too sad about it when they expire.</span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><strong>Classical pieces</strong> like v necked sweaters and turtlenecks are timeless. Go for it, buy loads! They are easy to match with, warm, never out of style and will last for ages (esp those from Gap). And you can just stick it into the washing machine without a second thought.</span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Allocate a <strong>whole day</strong> to shop, so as to ensure that you have the chance to do a double check around and time to think all that you've seen to ensure that you have no regrets and have not missed out on a great bargain-esp since getting there without a car is so difficult, you'd want to maximise this shopping experience. </span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">The <strong>price marked</strong> on the item in a shop is not always the <strong>actual cost</strong> of the item. And here are 3 reasons why:</span></li></ol><ul><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">In America there is always the stupid <strong>sales tax</strong> designed to dampen your aggregate demand to cool down the overheating economy. And this applies to outlet malls as well despite it being in the middle of nowhere (although the tax rates are usually lower), so mark the price about 10% up.i.e. a 30% off sale is in fact only a 20% off sale.(this is all except for Philly which is tax free for both food and cloting-as it should be)</span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Some shops are just <strong>not bothered</strong> to label everything, especially outlet shops. So you just have to read the signs hanging around the store that gives additional sales sometimes. Like the red labelled items being an extra 20% off or some shit like that. OR they just shout it out, so keep eyes AND ears open.</span></li><li><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Lastly, its so messed up around there that some things are simply<strong> labelled incorrectly</strong>. So you'll just have to ask around and test your luck. Like my adorable sky blue <strong>adidas </strong>track pants, which I loved so much I was willing to pay $32 for, but was lucky enough at the cashier to get them for $19. </span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Happy Memorial Weekend everyone!</span></p>

The Desperate Housewives Fashion: Marcia Cross

<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Ah. . <strong>Bree Van De Kamp</strong>, the scaringly perfect housewife, played by <strong>Marcia Cross</strong>. She is my absolute favourite housewife! Probably because she resembles my favourite Sex and the City character Charlotte and because she is super organised-like me! And out of all the desperate housewives, I also love her style the best-the American country club, preppy, prim, feminine and ladylike style. Here are some of my favs:<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><center><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/May%202005/DP-Bree1.jpg" /></center></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Waiting to see her son at the correction camp in a very elegant suit with matching pearls.<br /></span><p></p><center><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/May%202005/DP-BreeTheoryCardigan.bmp" /></span></center><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Chaperoning the school dance in a very <strong>Theory </strong>cardigan. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span></p><center><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/May%202005/DP-BreeCynthiaSteffeRuffledCollarCashmereSweater.jpg" /></span></center><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Doing LAUNDRY in pearls and a Cynthia <strong>Steffe ruffled</strong> collared cashmere sweater. WHO looks so neat and wears pearls doing laundry? And WHO has hair THAT perfect doing housework? Going out at events and such I understand. But at home doing housework?? If only that can be achieved in real life. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span></p><center><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/May%202005/Brie.bmp" /></span></center><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Walking stylishly along Wisteria Lane. That is just a very chic outfit. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span></p><center><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/May%202005/DP-Bree.bmp" /></span></center><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Going on a date with the pharmist looking very classy and ladylike.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span></p><center><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/May%202005/DP-Bree2.jpg" /></center><p></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Walking down the runway in a distinctly feminine strapless pink dress.

Like this dress she wore to the ABC upfront party. WHAT was she thinking? I don't know if its just that I'm not used to seeing her like this, or whether she is just looking downright trashy.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span></p><center><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/May%202005/marciacross7annualyounghollywdawards.jpg" /></center><p></p><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">At times her style picks up again. Like here at the 7th Annual Young Hollywood Awards. Although different from her on screen look, this simple and young outfit definitely has a distinctive style to it. And lets not forget her really rather lovely and elegant <strong>Vuitton </strong>dress from the <a href="http://iamfashion.blogspot.com/2005/05/costume-institute-gala-fashion-2005.html#comments">Costume Institute Gala Fashion 2005</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"></span></p><center><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/May%202005/marciacrossGLAADMediaAwards.bmp" /> <img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/iamfashion3/May%202005/marciacrossfifthannualProjectAmyptrophicLateralSclerosisA.jpg" /></center><p></p><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;">And sometimes. . .

The Desperate Houeswives Fashion: Felicity Huffman

<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Lynette Scavo</strong>, the career woman turned housewife to 4 kids played, by <strong>Felicity Huffman</strong>. I got to admit, she's not exactly the most fashionable housewife out there.

The Desperate Housewives Fashion: Teri Hatcher

<span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >So the first season of the <strong>Desperate Housewives</strong> has just come to an end yesterday. And wow the finale was super exciting and sad at the same time! I can't believe they left us hanging like that (just like the OC!)!!!Is anyone else suprised that this show about housewives in a nice little neighborhood turned out to be such a big hit? I am. But I can see the resemblance this show has to the other great show of our time-Sex and the City-except in a suburban environment of course. And like all great shows, there is great fashion. So this week, we are going to take a look at the<strong> Desperate Housewives Fashion</strong>!</span><br /><span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" ></span><br /><span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;" >So we're starting off with the "Carrie" of the group, <strong>Susan Mayer</strong> the young divorcee and single mom played by <strong>Teri Hatcher</strong>. Being the rather clumsy, die-hard-for-love, more like a teenager than her teenage daughter mom that she is, Susan's fashion is mostly very <strong>young</strong>, <strong>casual </strong>and <strong>simple.</strong></span><br /><br /><p align="center"><span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;" ><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/iamfashion08/susan-freepeople.jpg" /></span></p><p align="left"><span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;" >Susan in a cute <strong>Free People </strong>sweater. This sweater is soo young and casual in fact that both Harrods Girl and I each own one-in a different color. </span><br /></p><p align="center"><span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;" ><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/iamfashion08/DP-SusanVelvetYuricoTop.bmp" /></span></p><span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;" >Sneaking around Paul's house in a very simple <strong>Velvet </strong>yurico top. </span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;" ><center><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/iamfashion08/DP-SusanVelvet.bmp" /></center></span><br /><span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;" >Looking much more like a mom, in a sweater also by <strong>Velvet</strong>, at her daughter's school dance. </span><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;" ><center><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/iamfashion08/DP-susan3.jpg" /></center><center><br /></center><div align="left"></div><div align="left">At the showing wearing a white gown that looks . . . decidely prom like/wedding like I am not sure which. But still, you got to admit that its a pretty outfit, not glam but pretty, despite her slightly disgruntled expression and her later . . mishap with the dress.</div><div align="left"><center><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/iamfashion08/terrihatcherdisneylands50annivparty.jpg" /></center><center><br /></center><center></center></div><div align="left">In real life, Teri Hatcher still wears very young outfits, but defintely much more interesting then what she wears on the show. Like this very LA outfit she wore to Disneyland's 50th Anniversary Party. </div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><center><img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y280/iamfashion08/terrihatcherLaureusWorldSportsAwards.jpg" /></center><center><br /></center><center></center></div><div align="left">And the real Teri Hatcher definitely knows how to glam it up properly when the occasion calls for it. This is quite a flattering and elegant blue dress she wore to the Laureus World Sports Awards. </div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Young Hip Desperate Housewife shops at. . . <strong><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/">Urbanoutfitters </a></strong>and <strong><a href="http://www.freepeople.com/">Free People</a></strong>. </div></span>
