Outlet Shopping in Washington, DC
Well this blog has done nothing but prove I love to shop! It has proved I love to shop frugally and I love to share my deals and finds with you. Since having five kids, finding a deal, running from store to store and using a coupon has been a bit of a challenge. It was easy with one child when I started the blog 10 years ago. I would jump in the car and hit about 5 stores in a day trying to save my family a dime. Since the birth of my last two, the twins, it has been hard to load the entire family and drive around town to get the best deals so my visit to Tanger Outlets at National Harbor was eye opening and freeing… let me explain why.
First, you guys, I found some quality clothing for less. I mean for a lot less. The clothing was not only extremely affordable, but it also was quality fabric and textiles. How did my adventure begin? It began with a challenge! Myself and nine other DC Metro bloggers were sent on a mission to find an outfit for $250 or less. Our mission was to share the best outfit, with the most accessories and see who saved the most money! I spent about $240 after the challenge.
Tanger Outlets has a mobile app. Download their mobile app and save on your favorite brands and designer fashions. One of my favorite things about the Tanger Outlets is their Best Price Promise. That means if you find it for less, they will pay you back the difference meaning no matter what you buy, you are guaranteed the lowest price around! Additionally, stay in the know. Every day Tanger features a different deal. If you know you are into saving, be sure to text NATIONALHARBOR to 55695. If you are shopping at other locations, text TANGER to 55695 to sign up for text deals! You might find something at your favorite store.

- Coach Purse $69.59
$295.00 - Charlotte Ruse Aviator Sunglasses $0.00*

I was able to visit and had so many treatments. I got my makeup done, a mini facial, and my hair done. My patchology facial included a 15 minute LED eye treatment, eye and lip treatments (15 minutes) and a Hydrating Patchology Flashmasque (5 minutes.) My hair treatment was perfect, perfecting frizzy curls into beautiful spiral with the help of a BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Miracurl Machine – oh my goodness, you guys, have you tried this little piece of magic! I am a believer!
