From The Ground Up
The Primm Valley Outlets sits on the border of California and Nevada, right along the I-15. About 40 miles from Las Vegas, it acts as a beacon of "Almost There" for those heading into the City of Sin and a "Last Chance for the Big Win" for those heading out. For a number of families heading out of Las Vegas on Memorial Day, they were a detour to avoid traffic, and I would say most were pleasantly surprised to find lots of stores and lots of discounts.
In light of my slightly overboard shopping excursions upon returning to California, I attempted to be more selective in what I bought. But that didn't stop me from trying on a bunch of dresses at Charlotte's Russe. I even ventured into romper-land, just to see what the big deal was with them...let me just say that I wasn't a big fan of the ones I tried on -_- give me a dress any day ;)
I couldn't resist the 75% off Sale going on at Cole Haan. So here's what I picked up:
I know I should try to expand the variety of things in my wardrobe, but to me ballet flats are so functional and I can't get enough of them. Maybe they bring me back to my dancer days...these are blue patent, which is so random but kind of flashy in a subtle way.
Yay I finally found everyday strappy sandals! Black leather and a nice snug fit, I know these will be a summer staple.
All in all, I was very pleased with my purchases...definitely less was more in this case. Now I'm at home, being a bum and watching old Grey's reruns, thinking about how crazy it is that it's June already. More about my Vegas trip to come :)
