It was 2:00pm Wednesday afternoon when I received a text from my husband.  A group of corporate people were in town and would meet us for dinner in St. Augustine at 6:00pm that evening.  My first thought was thank goodness I recently had my hair and nails done. Then I panicked- I have nothing to wear!  I’ve recently lost a lot of weight and have a very limited selection of clothing that fit without safety pins.  I admit I am a seasoned shopper so normally this would be a wonderful challenge. I would head to the St. Johns Town Center in Jacksonville or my favorite, the Mall at Millennia in Orlando and return with several options, but the clock was ticking. Where do I find the perfect Little Black Dress in St. Augustine?

Armed with my American Express Gold Card and limited time I remembered the recently renovated Prime Outlets just full of designer stores. There is even a Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet Store! That outlet was my first stop. The first things I saw when I walked in were the walls of shoes – my favorite! I quickly found a pair of black Louboutin pumps, with their signature bright red bottoms. Having the perfect shoes selected, I went to the ladies department in search of a Little Black Dress. Like a lioness on the hunt, I searched high and low and found just the right BCBGMAXAZRIA -Jeweled Draped Jersey Dress. It was perfect. I have found a great dress within my time and budget constraints!

Now I know that I don’t need to travel all the way to Orlando or the Town Center to get my favorite designer clothes and great prices, I can just go to the Prime Outlets, right here in Saint Augustine!
