I'm back from a great day of outlet shopping with my friend Marti. We went first to the Vera Bradley store, where I just scoped things out. Then, we did the rest of the mall - I bought some shoes, some sleep wear, some cosmetics, and a cute hooded sweater. After a bite of lunch, we went back to VB, where I bought for a friend in Ohio, our niece/goddaughter, and myself. May have to make a quick stop there tomorrow before we hit the road for WI.
