Chicago/IN/MI Outlet meetup Recap

[fashionx]

Such a fun day today! We lucked out most of the day with the weather being nice, but it rained when we were on our final stores. Lots of great purchases were made, and I think we all had a great time. We missed out on our J Crew photo op, but still got in a great group photo:

Run (and little Run), HZ, me, Bimbi, Yasi. Photo taken by FCG

Thanks everyone for an awesome day! It was so fun to meet Ybee and Runforrest. Great to see everyone else too! I grabbed those BCBG jackets on the way out and a tee I plan to make into something even more fun.

[fashionx]

Yay FCG, I'm glad you got those jackets!

[Deleted]

Looks like fun and I wondered which one of you were going to wear their bubbles. Hee hee.

[FormerCityGirl]

Fashion, I may run some ideas for the tee by you since I want it to be really different and not look crafty. The jackets were such a deal and I remembered when I got home that I've been looking for the perfect white blazer! Whats better than a whote sequin tuxedo jacket? It's going to look awesome with my white panama hat that has black satin trim.

[fashionx]

FCG - I'd love to help! Oohh I love the sound of your hat with that jacket.

I'm sure it was a big shocker to everyone that it was ybee, lol.

Ohmygosh, fun!! You all look amazing!

[FormerCityGirl]

It's an awesome hat and it was only $15 at Target. It looks like the one Stacy Keebler is all over Pinterest in with the red maxi skirt and a jean jacket.

I need to do a couple of tees since one needs to go to a friend. Her bestie is releasing a Santana cover and I found a vintage Santana tee. I think she'll love it since they only see each other on rare occasions. I just have to get it out before his release in late September.

I thought it was funny that there was one bubble, but Fashion and I had on agate necklaces with the same shape of stone. Great minds think alike! Agate, the new bubble. Lol!

I totally need to be banned from shopping too... Lol - Well, AFTER I get my boots anyway.

[veruca5839]

Fun! Cute pic!

[adlove]

This is so cute!! Aw, I want to meet y'all

[melaniesc]

Can you ladies give a little recap of what you scored? I see bags. I need to know what's in them.

[hz80408]

We had a blast! It was like we'd known each other forever:) It was so awesome to meet Yas and Run in person!! We joked about making this a seasonal shopping trip! Ha ;D

I'll PIP later; but I did really well on my budget. I spent $106 (+ $30 Gapcard rewards) and got 2 sweaters, a dress, a scarf and a silk sleeveless blouse.

And we found the next bubble, 5 of the 6 of us got the same sweater from BCBG.

FCG- I thought about you and your jackets last night. I'm glad you went back for them and were able to find a third item!

[esynergy]

Aww looks fun! You are all so pretty!

[runforrest]

I went WAY over budget, but in my defense, I also bought a bunch of stuff for my H and the twins. I'll try in PIP my purchases later tonight, but I bought:

*sequin grandpa cardigan from BCBG (like HZ said - the new bubble necklace!)
*black slouchy sweater from BCBG
*red/coral top from BCBG
*Mustardy pencil skirt from CK
*Dark teal top from CK
*Black blazer from BR

I bought my H a gray jacket from CK and several polo/button downs. I bought Madeleine two t-shirts from JCrew, a necklace, and a sweater and sweater dress from Gap. Everett got two polo shirts from Gap and a T-shirt that has a bug on it and says "Bugging Out" from Gap.

When I got home my H just shook his head and sighed, lol.

[bluesecrets]

Sounds like a great trip. Everyone looks great.
