I'd pick the outlet first for sure. Another idea on your Carly is check eBay. You might be able to find one for less on there and still have the money left over for your accessories at the outlet! If you are nervous about buying on eBay, find a few things you are interested it, post links to them on the Authenticate This thread, and many ladies will be able to help you determine if it's a real Coach or not. While there are lots of counterfeits on eBay, I think there is more genuine and GREAT sellers. Just from tPF alone there are lots of fabulous sellers.
