The Bloomingdale's Outlet is here!!!!!!!!!!!

So if you're like me, you have been counting down the months/days until we got our very own piece of the Bloomingdale's enterprise, right here in Dallas.  The first outlet location (it's the first of 5 locations to be opened in Texas) opened last Thursday at the Shops at Park Lane in Dallas. I waited until today to check it out, in an effort to avoid the crowds.  I actually had never been to a Bloomingdale's store, just shopped via their online site.  The store didn't disappoint...lots of big names such as D&G and Jimmy Choo, but also casual clothing brands such as Free People and James Perse.  Lots of J Brand and James Jeans- below are some colorful cropped jeans from J Brand (dying for the red pair, at $80, it's a pretty good deal). I also saw quite a few great pairs of Plenty by Tracy Reese shoes, that ranged from $40-$60 (love the brown pair below, which were $45). I ended up getting the "Little Laptop Case" sleeve for $18, too cute, I couldn't resist. 

The Bloomingdale's chain touted that their merchandise is not "“old goods that are out of season,” ten percent to 40 percent of the items come from the full-price Bloomingdale’s stores, depending on the season and category." Read more of the Dallas News article.  Happy Shopping!
