When Fashion & Style Collide

April 25, 2016

When Fashion & Style Collide

Sarah magazine

{adorable shopping bag and People Style Watch Magazine from Tanger Outlets & People Style Watch}

 

A couple Saturdays ago, I was in heaven. The wonderful people at Tanger Outlets and People Style Watch gave me a very generous gift card and invited me to shop my little heart out at the amazing Tanger Outlet in Deer Park, NY. I was on Cloud Nine!

But…I was sharing that cloud with about 20 other trendsetting fashion bloggers from MA, CT & NY – all of whom descended on Tanger Outlet to compete in a contest for the best outfit of the day (#OOTD). The winner would receive a $5,000 shopping credit to Tanger Outlet, which is pretty much like hitting the jackpot for a fashion blogger.

Saturdays

With over 100 stores to browse, representing tops brands, I knew it would be easy to find gorgeous clothes from my favorite designers. What I didn’t know was how amazing the deals would be. On top of already discounted prices, I used coupons to save even more and I can’t even tell you how great it feels to buy beautiful clothes at such a value.

After browsing through the stores, I was really torn between two outfits. The first outfit was an embroidered top with neon orange details from J. Crew, a pair of white jeans from Lucky Brand Jeans, and a braided wedge sandal by Stuart Weitzman from Neiman Marcus Last Call. The second outfit was the one I went with; a cantaloupe colored linen shirt, cheetah shorts from J. Crew and a white leather foldover clutch with tassels from Francesca’s, and my own shoes.

It was such a pleasure to stroll through the shops at this pristine outlet and be spoiled by all the fabulous brands to choose from. Brands like Banana Republic, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Coach, J.Crew, Kate Spade, Lucky Brand Jeans, Neiman Marcus Last Call, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH and Vineyard Vines and others too numerous to mention, were all clustered in one place making it super easy to shop the hottest fashion. With Mother’s Day around the corner, now is the perfect time to start shopping! Click here to find a Tanger Outlet near you, and click here to sign up to receive exclusive offers and coupons. They also have a free app for your smartphone so you can use the coupons right from your phone.

Mr. Purple

After the shopping and photos were done, we headed back to the city for an after-party at Mr. Purple.  There, we were treated to special cocktails made just for us and tray after tray of the yummiest appetizers.
