[hz80408]

Are we still on for next Sunday, 8/26 at Michigan City Outlets?!

[bimbi284]

I sure am!

[runforrest]

Madeleine and I will be there! What time? And where?

[ybee]

Yes!!! I'm down for whenever. Although, I would rather go earlier so that we can get first dibs on the Sunday piles. Lol

[bimbi284]

Yeah, I think earlier is better too.

Looks like they open at 11am on Sundays.

I will be there at 10:55 sharp-- Black Friday style.

[runforrest]

Michigan City is on central time, too, right? I don't want to get there thinking it is 11 when it is really noon.

Ha, lol. It is central!

I am trying not to spend much for AUg/Sept; so you will have to keep me on my toes and only let me purchase what is fabulous!

[fashionx]

I am still on! And Bimbi do you still want to share a ride with me? Anyone else? I can fit 3 passengers, with room for our purchases on the way back.

I see they open at 10am on the website on Sundays. It'll take about an hour and a half to drive from Chicago, so I can pick up people at 8:30ish? Or later if you want to sleep in a little, lol.

HZ I will help reign in your spending if you help me reign in mine. I need to stick to my goal of shopping for boots, and tops/sweaters only. And not spend too much, hopefully.

Those are my exact goals!!!

So, are we meeting at 10 then?

OMG I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

[bimbi284]

Yay! Fashion I would love to ride with you! I need to go easy on my wallet too, haha.

[fashionx]

Cool Bimbi -- I'm sending you my cell # so we can coordinate

[billysgirl07]

Me too!

[runforrest]

Yay! 10am works for me too!

I really don't need anything, but that never stops me from buying stuff. I really want a tweedy blazer in brownish/gray but that's about it.

[hz80408]

Fashion- Can I get a ride too?! I'll FB you my #. I should be good to go with 8:30am, as long as you dont mind if I bring coffee/breakfast along for the ride. And I'll try to help with your spending! I'll call it right now, the only thing I'm allowed to splurge on is if Burberry has something spectular!!

[fashionx]

HZ - yes of course! And totally bring breakfast/coffee, I will definitely need my morning Starbucks too lol.

So we're meeting at 10. Which store do we meet up at?

10 it is! Should we maybe list what we're looking for and some have shops we wanna hit?

I'll go--

I'd like to hit:
-BR
-JCrew
-Ann Taylor
-Michael Kors
-Nine West
-Coach

I'd like to buy some of the following:
-black boots (for work)
-red top
-cardis (red, rust, etc)
-sweaters
-button up shirts
-colored blazer
-red flats

[bimbi284]

Hmm really only J Crew and BR are "musts" for me. Maybe Gap too?

[FormerCityGirl]

It works for me too. J Crew would probably be easy to meet at since it's right at the front. If you go past J Crew and take a left, there's a good sized parking lot that's not nearly as bad as the one by Bass or Gap. The little lot by Bass is always a mess since it's so small. J Crew is one place I'd like to hit and I need a new pair of Pumas.

[fashionx]

My main goals will be boots (knee high, cognac or brown) and cute sweaters or cardi's. I'm also looking for some comfy flats, but not sure what yet. Possibly Puma though, so I'm down with that FCG!

I'm up for whatever stores, but would love to hit:
Loft
Ann Taylor
Puma
J Crew
Banana Republic
Calvin Klein
BCBG
and even though I probably won't get anything.. I'd still like to check out Michael Kors and Burberry.

And we're doing Hacienda for lunch (or late lunch/early dinner)?

[FormerCityGirl]

Michael Kors sounds good too. I haven't checked our's out in a while. Do they have CH?

[FormerCityGirl]

Indiana is 7% sales tax. There aren't tax holidays here.

[FormerCityGirl]

Oh I know! It's crazy there. Here it's not so bad, especially since there's a lot of good stuff that gets marked down. We discussed that in Chicago. Lol!

[FormerCityGirl]

Oh, I know! I love getting mimosas at this place by The Dome that's an upscale diner and serves breakfast from open to close.
