The First Fall Shopping

Yesterday while my 12 year old was in tennis camp for a few hours, I scooted across the street to exchange some clothing I bought my kids at American Eagle in the humongous Tanger Outlets.  Of course I couldn't resist stopping in Saks Off Fifth and Neiman Marcus outlets for a sneak peak of some Fall items.  I left two hours later with what I think were good buys, which is not always the case at the outlets.
What I like to do while working within my clothing budget is mix it up, by that I mean buying a few good pieces mixed in with jeans from the Gap for instance... So for my first good pants of the season I found a great buy on these Vince Ponte Knit Riding Pants at the Saks outlet.  I love Vince pants, Vince anything, the fit is amazing, but they're expensive.

I bought these in brown, original price was $245, I paid $135.99

The Saks outlet is also offering additional discounts between 20 and 40% off posted in plain sight throughout the store.
