About forty minutes outside of Boston, Wrentham is a great day trip to take every few months. Recently, I stopped in to search for a few last-minute winter purchases before the outlets go full-throttle into spring apparel.
Looking for black pointy-toed boots, I scored a great mid-calf pair at Nine West for $35! They also had knee-high ones for $50 (about a 2 inch heel). Off Sak’s had tons of Joe’s jeans, Theory had great basics on sale, and J.Crew made me want to jump headfirst into spring with it’s cheerful, preppy selections.
Quite possibly the most impressive of the day was the Coach outlet. There were so many high-quality leather bags in great colors from tan, black, white, periwinkle blue, and sage green. Similarly colored wristlets were super cheap, and passport holders, CD cases, mini travel pill cases, were all on sale (and make great gifts).
Outlets to skip included the GAP, Banana Replublic, Bebe and Arden B- they definitely need a refresher!
SavvyBostonian Tips:
- Sign up for Wrentham’s VIP club online before you go! It’s free, and you can print up a voucher for a discount book to redeem at the office when you arrive (next to food court, near off Sak’s/Barney’s end).
- Grab your java fix at Dunkin Donuts on the way in- the coffee inside the outlets is not good!
- As far as I know, bathrooms are on opposite ends- so is the best parking.
- Get there early to avoid large crowds.
