Top Tips for Outlet Shopping with the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass

April 20, 2017

Let’s be honest — shopping always sounds fun but can be overwhelming in the moment.  A couple weekends ago, I had a girls’ day with one of my blogger besties, Tif, at the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass.  If you missed my post from Tuesday on the event we hosted you can read it here & Tif’s recap here!  Keep reading for my top tips for outlet shopping and some of my favorite outlet finds.

Top Tips for Outlet Shopping | Your Shopping Partner, Your List + Your Budget

Having the right partner in crime is so key.  We all know the situation; you go shopping with your significant other and three stores in, he leans over and says, “So we’re done now, right?”  While I’ve been spoiled by the fact that the Outlet Shoppes are a twenty minute drive from my house before the Bluegrass center opened, the closest outlet center was an hour and a half away.   If you’re making the haul, be sure to choose a shopping partner that can hang with you.

Before our girls’ day, Tif and I each made a loose list of the kind of outfits we wanted to pick up during our shopping trip. While you will inevitably see an item you love that’s not on your list, knowing what you’re shopping for will make the trip easier.  For those wondering, I said that I would for sure purchase pieces for three outfits: work wear, casual and Easter.  While you’re shopping keep this list in mind so that the pieces you buy meet your objectives.

Finally, think about the money!  So many people see the word ‘sale’ and lose their mind.  If you know exactly how much you want to spend before you even park, you’ll save yourself from a lot of buyers’ remorse.
