The Budget Fashionista

Prime Outlets in San Marcos, Texas definitely needs to be added to that list.  Lacoste outlet, BCBG and Catherine Malandrino outlet, Coach, Dooney and Bourke, Banana Republic, and JCREW factory stores are my favorite.  My mother likes the Chicos, Coldwater Creek, and Jockey outlets.  And yes, these are all outlets/factory stores, and there are always sales.

For Chicago outlet malls, I much prefer Aurora Premium Outlets to Gurnee Mills.  There are also good outlets in Pleasant Prairie, WI, just a short hike up the road from Gurnee.

It’s not the best outlet mall by a long shot.  But my vote for best location goes to the outlet in Stateline, NV.  It’s perfectly placed on your way between LA and Las Vegas, so we always end up stopping for a bathroom break and a soda and staying too long for a quick look in the stores.  New clubbing clothes on the way to Vegas, and spending any winnings on the way out.  It’s one of the few times I’m a total sucker for impulse purchases because I’m already in the Vegas mindset.

They really should spruce that place up and get a few more premium outlets, because their location choice is impeccable.

I must say that I am surpirsed that none of California’s WWW.PremiumOutlets.com were mentioned. Vacaville has the Burberry Outlet, Napa, Petaluma and Gilroy deffiently have the Coach, BR, Gap and other various high end clothing. For someone like me who loves to find a bargin, I can be in these cities in no less then a few hours some closer then other’s. The one that I have yet to venture to is Camarillo which has a Juicy Couture and a Besty Johnson Outlet.. ahhh the love for shopping is Grand....

The outlet mall in San Marcos Texas actually consists of two outlet malls, Tanger Outlet and Prime Outlet. To mention of few of my favorites at the Tanger Outlet: Banana Republic, Coldwater Creek, Izod, Bass, Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein, American Eagle, Nautica, Aldo, Tommy Hilfiger and many other name brand stores.  You can review their list of stores on the Tanger website at www.tangeroutlet.com.  They are soon opening a Sag Harbor and Esprit.

Somebody who buy on San Marcos can tell me an aproximate % of dicount compared if I buy it in any other mall?
