Contessa hits Michigan Outlets

Words I never knew I would utter . . .shopping in Michigan is awesome! Well, what can I say? Its true! First off the sales tax there is only 6% (HELLO), then; the outlets offer a number of good name brand items at overwhelmingly reduced prices – basically I was in my element. I only wish we had had more time. So there I was strolling around the Coach outlet when a very nice sales lady approaches me and lets me know that all of their clearance items were an additional 50% that day. Words cannot describe my reaction to this news, I literally needed her to repeat herself to make sure that I heard correctly. Suddenly I felt like a kid at Disneyland for the first time and couldn’t get to the clearance section fast enough. Between my mom, sister and we made quite a dent in their inventory that day.

Here's a few of the things we made off with:
