Who likes to shop? Better question.... who likes to save money? I certainly do. So during my travels I stopped at an outlet called Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets 11211 20th Ave, Pleasant Prairie, WI. It's conveniently located off Interstate 94 (Lakeview Pkwy exit), and they have every outlet store you can think of. Gap, Chico's, Banana Republic, Coach, Kate Spade, Ann Taylor, Columbia Sportswear, Cole Haan, Brooks Brothers, Michael Kors and more. There's a total of 90 outlet stores, you really need more than one day to see all of it. I had been there a few years ago, but they have upgraded a lot so now it's a much better shopping experience.
I actually was looking for a Christmas present for myself, and decided on a pocketbook. Every store was having a huge sale for the holidays. 40-60% off, which was pretty cool. After all you're already in an outlet getting deeply discounted prices, so to cut the discounted prices in half, believe me I was leaving with something. I've gone there in the past & settled on an item because of the price, even though it wasn't exactly what I wanted, but not today... there would be no settling. After looking in a few stores & not seeing exactly what I wanted, I wandered into Cole Haan & BAM there it was, a gorgeous black leather weaved hobo bag. The strap was long enough to go over my shoulder without adding a connecting strap (which so many of the bags have today). The price was $368, and I paid just under $200. Merry Christmas to me. This outlet is a must stop and shop if you're ever in the area, It's pretty large so wear some comfortable shoes and you're sure to find something.
