retail therapy or: why is everything in my wardrobe black, blue, or brown?

So today I went shopping because nothing and I do mean nothing fits me from last year. I really hate shopping, especially for clothes, because nothing ever fits me. No matter what I weigh, i still have no boobs and a big-ish butt, no hips but a bit of a belly, so everything is always too big in one area and too small in another. But three hours and a few hundred dollars later, I should be set for fall and winter. I bought most of it from Classic Closet, Sioux City's answer to Savers/insert your consignment shop here, so i got a lot for my money. I realized that I always buy black and brown, because I can match all my various scarves with neutral colors without having to go all blindie and ask my housemates or worry about clashing all day. Sigh, i'm no fashionista. I also got a pair of Earth Shoes for only $20, which is amazing. I love me my earth shoes, but they are old and worn out from hiking through Ecuador and a few European major cities, so these came in the nick of time. I also got some snuggly sweaters at Old Navy, and a rust-colored knee-length sweater coat which i will probably wear daily until it looks like a rag. I eyed a pair of black boots that would have looked good with my new black pants, but they were too much. Ah to be rich.
Now I'm watching the Iowa game and drinking a Blue Moon pumpkin ale. Which, unfortunately, pretty much just tastes like beer to me, and not pumpkin. I don't know a damn thing about football, but i enjoy watching it because it is a very autumn-y thing to do. plus my parents, being big Hawkeye fans, are very amusing yelling at the TV.
I can't believe a week from today I will be back in St. Paul. I am so nervous and so excited. I guess i just need to focus on the excitement and I'll be okay.
