IMHO leaving your clothes behind and planning to buy in SXM is not a good idea. There are many ways to support the island but clothes shopping is not one of them. Jewelry is a better idea . It is winter where I am now so summer clothes are not in the mall yet. Online shopping is the way to go for sundresses with many styles on clearance from last season. https://www.stage.com/b/women-clothing/clearance/N-1t163ppZ6vnnfjZ14psdbp/

And to take what sxmmartini has already said a step farther, you’re gonna be in a heap of trouble if your wife follows your advice and ends up wasting her valuable vacation time shopping for clothes she probably won’t care that much for anyway. SXM is not an island that really requires serious dressing up unless it’s your personal preference and a couple of well thought out mix and match capris outfits and sundresses are really all you need plus a couple of swimsuits and wraps.
Lots of other great ways to support the island economy, Jeannie being but one of our many favorites.

How good is Carrefour? My dad said we used to have it in the US and it was kind of like a Walmart Supercenter. Allison, have your parents told you where you are staying? Guessing there will be a kitchen if you are interested in grocery stores? Last thing I wanted to do as a teenager was grocery shop or cook! lol

I was told there was one in Philly that also had clothes and electronics, but it was gone before I was born.

Allison,
At the ripe old age of seventeen, i’m Guessing you’re in school still? You could probably do a lot of SXM research in your school’s media lab but really, do you want to worry about all this stuff when you’re a teenager visiting a beautiful Caribbean Island like St. Martin? Go! Relax! Experience! Enjoy! And don’t worry about things.......your trip will be wonderful.
Respectfully,
pat
