clothes shopping success
I went to the mall with my mom today in search of new spring clothes. The trip was a great success!
Boscov's: one green short-sleeved collared shirt, good for work, on sale for $6.99
H&M: one long-sleeved brown v-neck shirt, which I've been needing for a while; one really cute black top with black and white flowers, three cute pairs of panties
NY&Co: The real triumph! Usually shopping at NY&Co is a stressful disaster. There's always a coupon, and a lot of math involved in figuring out what exactly I must buy in order to use the coupon, but I never realize when I walk in that the coupon can't be used on clearance/sale/purple/whatever items, and then I wait in line 467453476 minutes only to be told my coupon won't work and I refuse to pay full price and I walk out of the store screamingly annoyed. But today! I made all my calculations correctly! My mom found a cute orangey top she wanted, and I found: one cute dress that will be great for work and will look good with my brown boots, one amazingly awesome dress that makes me love my body again that I can wear to one or more weddings this summer, and a pair of perfect, perfect yoga pants that are stretchy and fit well and are long enough for me, even perhaps TOO long, which is a goddamn miracle. We saved $30 with our effective coupon use, for a total of $95 for all that stuff.
When I got home I was all blissed out on the shopping. I really needed new stuff.
