outlet sale.

some people love vera bradley handbags, and some hate them. i was a hater, too colorful for my taste, etc. but one of my best friends, who loves vera bradley, slowly got me into them too! now i like so many of the patterns/colors. i look at the colorful bags as a fun accessory to add some zing to an outfit. i think this line of bags is becoming more popular, i see them on people everywhere!

so last saturday, my sister, me, and our aunt headed to fort wayne, indiana for the vera bradley outlet sale. this usually happens in early may, which i did go to for the first time. this fall they added another sale, and we decided we didn't want to miss the fun! so the morning after the concert we headed out. tired (both)and laryngitis (me) we made the trek. we didn't come home empty handed at all. we found some great deals. the outlet sale is kinda like a sample sale i am told, as i have never been to one. bags, accessories, and purses, all marked down to at least 50 percent off retail prices. i think the discounts were more like 70 percent or more off retail. lots of bargains. very tiring. you grab, throw it in the bag, and go sort it out and do it again til you are ready to go! it is fun, chaotic, and hectic all at the same time. i didn't take any photos this time, so i am including some from my spring trip. can't wait to see what will be out at the spring sale!! yay!
