Damn you, Outlets.

On our way back from a staff retreat, my girlies and I stopped at The Outlets.

Big Mistake.

It started out innocently enough - I needed to go to the Nike Factory Store to pick up a new sensor for my Nike+ shoes. I guess I did so much running the battery in my old one wore out. Ha. Just kidding. I never took it out of my shoe, which Nike explicitly recommends so that the battery lasts longer. Anyway, I went into the Nike store, picked up a new sensor ($19!!). Then I saw the prices of the sneakers. $90 sneakers for $51.99? $125 sneakers for $65.99? I am signed up for the Annapolis 10K. And the Baltimore Half-Marathon. And the sneakers I'm wearing now are O-L-D. Long story short, I couldn't pass up the deal. I got some bad ass Nike+ sneakers.

The deal I did pass up?

The Coach outlet had this bag - originally marked at $348 - on sale, on clearance, and then had an additional 40% off. It was $113. It took every ounce of my self-control to walk out of the store. But really, how absolutely adorable is that bag?
