Yesterday I did some MUCH needed outlet shopping. 

I have been SO bored of my clothes lately, but haven’t made time to shop. Seriously this whole winter I think I only bought 2 shirts, a puffy coat, and 2 pairs of work pants. Both shirts quickly got holes in them just from washing them (stupid Kohls, if they weren’t like on clearance I would have returned them). 

So I went to the Tanger outlets like 10 minutes from T’s house yesterday and told myself to shop and to buy things that aren’t like what I already have in my closet. 

So here’s my loot from H&M, NY&Co, and Papaya (think Mandee for my NY people or a better Charlotte Russe).

• Got 2 dresses (that have similar patterns, but one is way casual and one is more formal – plus one is b&w and one is navy & tan)
• Only got one horizontal stripped shirt (which I had A LOT OF at one point), this one has thinner tightly placed stripes on the top and then then stripes get slightly bigger and more spread apart. 
• Went crazy on patterns at H&M, but they had SO MANY GREAT THINGS. 

The good/annoying part of the day is almost every shirt I tried on, I had to go back and get a smaller size. Literally every L at NY&Co was comically huge and it def should not based on my body. I get vanity sizing, but it also is hella annoying when I need to go back through the store to get everything I just tried on in a smaller size. Then there is H&M where I bought 12/medium shirts, a large dress. This is why I rarely buy clothes online, there is no telling what size fits. 

PS – All my purchases came to under $125 total 🙂
