According to their website \u201cthey inspire women of all ages to look and feel their best \u2013 just as they are and they\u2019ve earned their reputation as a leader in hometown fashion. Their true secret to success is deeply rooted in their commitment to their values.\u201d While I\u2019ve never visited a Maurices store, a little investigation revealed that their dresses sell for up to $39.<\/p>\n<p>The bins are not seasonal, so you can find a mix of summer to winter and everything in between. The gold and beige-toned strappy sandals from Nine West are a great neutral to mix and match with almost any summer outfit. While these could have sold for up to $89 when new, all shoes at the outlet are just $2.99.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-26-50-AM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-26-50-AM-732x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"663\" data-size=\"2326x3256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-26-50-AM-732x1024.jpg 732w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-26-50-AM-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>The colors of the dress inspired me to look for summery accessories and I found just what I was looking for, including this purse and straw hat. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-33-35-AM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-33-35-AM-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"477\" height=\"635\" data-size=\"3024x4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-33-35-AM-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-33-35-AM-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-33-35-AM-840x1120.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 477px) 100vw, 477px\" \/> <\/a>The vintage aqua straw bag, accented with sequins, and the multi-colored straw hat provided a final touch of this mid-winter vacation look.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-32-57-AM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-32-57-AM-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"632\" data-size=\"3024x4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-32-57-AM-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-32-57-AM-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Photo-Feb-09-8-32-57-AM-840x1120.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Spring and Summer may seem far off, but shopping at the outlets for Spring-Break style can be a bit of fresh air to your wallet and budget.
