Houston - work and shopping trip

Wef FY16, I took up new role in my company and it required to travel.. At least 2x a year to Houston. This year kick start with user requirements workshop in houstons. It's a new role, new business I'm touching on so I was so nervous and always feel that I'm not well prepared and always worried if my energy level cannot overcome the jetlag.

MIL volunteer to come over and stay at our place to take care of Janelle while I'm away. I have to admit she is a better caretaker for Janelle. She gave 200% to Janelle when she was here. Everything around her during that one week is all about Janelle. She also woke up early and sent Janelle down for school bus with daddy. alittle request from me to my husband to make that 5 min effort every morning to send Janelle down for school bus as I don't want Janelle to be maid child-send, fetch, bath, eat, sleep is all with maid. And yes, last week Janelle was accompanied by daddy and neinei. So blessed.

Since I'm at Houston, how can I missed shopping at outlet. Oh gosh, before I go crazy swiping my credit card, husband "seriously" warned me not to any how buy things. Asked me to list down "not to buy" shopping list..haha, I list no shoes, tshirt, shorts for Janelle as there are many still sitting in the wardrobe waiting for her. Yes, I tried to control.. But the price different is too tough for me to return home with empty handed. I listed to my husband, I only bought jacket, cadican, dresses, swimwear for Janelle. Non of the not to buy list. 

Omg..  Gap jacket 70% off and it's less than $20 sgd.. Tommy dress is like $20 usd... Gap dress is like $6 usd. How to stop buying?

Of cos never forget about my husband. Got him one set... All at 70% off...

Of cos, coach is definitely worth to buy in US. I bought none as I'm not the fan.. Ops, I bought a scarf.. Haha.. However I spend the most in coach, I have orders from my bro, colleagues for coach....

Marketing garmick.. We went on Sunday coach is having promotion if you buy 3 and above will entitled 20% discount. I bought this scarf at $59 less 20%.. I'm so scarf person..  but when I returned on Thursday cos my meeting ends early, they changed their marketing strategy if you buy 3 items and above will get 30%.. Was so excited when saw the email but when returned, they marked up the price to $99. Ended up need to pay more if I get later. 羊毛出在羊身上

Regretted I brought the luggage only 24inch.. Next time will need to bring a big one plus cabin size.. Haaaaa...

The loot of my current trip.
