We're done with winter [i think] and it's time to shop!

After bag lady left yesterday I spent the rest of the evening obsessively trying to find the Chloe bag online. In the process I ended up finding lots of cute spring/summer clothes. [I prefer not to say outfits. It’s very twelve year old girl … or seventy year old lady. Although lots of people think I sound 12. Hmm…] Anyway when I got done with work I had this sudden urge to go to the mall and so I did in spite of knowing I only had 90 minutes of shopping time. It’s not much but you’d be amazed at my time management skills when it comes to shopping.
So I go to Nordstroms and of course they’re having a shoe sale! [Apparently they knew I was coming] I did see a pair of sandals I liked but they kinda looked like some other shoes I had so I kept them aside for when I was leaving. I always park outside Nordstroms cause in case I don’t find anything else I can always find perfume or pretty sparkly earrings there [which don’t look as sparkly once you go home. It’s all in the lighting I tell you. Note to self - don’t keep falling for this.] That way I won’t feel like my shopping trip has been a complete waste of time. You know how tragic it can be when you don’t find anything.
Next I went into NY & Co. They normally have fun summer clothes and they did. I always feel bad though for the dressing room clothes refolding person so I always give them a big smile when I leave. I would not like that job. I did find the perfect summer pants. They fit perfectly and they’re light enough for summer but not too casual for work. I’m wearing them right now actually but I’m concerned they might look like scrubs. I guess it’s because they’re navy. I just asked B for her opinion and she has reassured me that they do not look like scrubs.
My last stop was Banana Republic where I found this beautiful white shirt with embroidery on it. Sort of Lucknow chicken work style but not really. I also found an adorable white denim jacket and a pretty brown summer sweater. I was very happy with myself. When I got done it was way past 9 [so much for my time management skills!] and Nordstroms had already pulled down their shutters which meant I had no idea how to get to my car. The only person I saw in the hall was creepy guy with European accent. You know the one in every mall with the hand lotion stall who tries to seduce his way into making a sale. I had no choice but to ask him where the nearest exit was. Luckily I guess he’d already packed up for the day [or maybe he thought I had gorgeous skin] anyway he didn’t try to sell me anything. I managed to get out of the building but had to walk like halfway around the mall to reach my car. All this with two humongous shopping bags [one threatening to fall apart] and my super ginormous handbag because God forbid I leave the house without everything!

And today L and I were trying to find shoes online and we came across some very hideous looking shoes. For example wtf is this? L thinks it looks like a cast.

eww.. those shoes totally look like a f___ing cast.. whts next? gloves that look like casts? or leg warmers, that have the sexy cast look... wtf?

anyway, my new years resolution was to not go shopping till April of this year... why you ask?.. to save money and the whole sweatshop situation kinda was getting to me. But the countdown has begun....! 10 more days till April. So beware sweatshop workers in 3rd world countries... You'll be making a LOT of clothes for the walrus...
