Hm... for some reason, I remember the good ol' days when outlets where the past season and extras that a brand didn't sell or had to move to make room for the newest and greatest stuff. Nowadays some brands seem to have a "lower end" brand with stuff manufactured at a lower cost for their outlet stores. Sad sad sad... Seems like Bebe has jumped on that bandwagon.... Their 2b stuff was on sale, but their regular Bebe items were all still at full price. Some how I feel a little gipped. At least I managed to enjoy their 70 degree air conditioning before hauling myself back out in the 110 degree heat!
