Shopping~
It looks like Blogger has updated their interface a bit since I last posted. :O
Yesterday I went on a shopping trip with my mom and my aunt Andrea to Greensboro, which is a city about an hour away that has better shopping options than our dinky little town. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be my shopping trip kind of turned into their shopping trip, and I didn't get to look at a lot of the things that I wanted to. I guess some of the important things were covered, but there was a lot more that I wanted to do that I wasn't able to do.
I really missed the shopping trips that my mom and I had when I was younger; she would always help me pick things out and tell me when a color or style didn't look good on me. I never really appreciated that help when I was younger, but I haven't really had that kind of a shopping trip with my mom since I started working a few years ago, and I really missed the input and company I had when I used to go shopping with her. This trip didn't really cut it as well as I'd have liked it to because for the most part I was looking on my own or waiting for them to finish helping each other pick out clothing for themselves so that I could get my mom's opinion on some of the things that I wanted to look at in the other stores. She said that she'd take me shopping again though because I didn't get to look at everything that I wanted to.
It was a fun day considering the circumstances, though. I did actually find a pair of cute brown shoes, which is very difficult because I'm picky about shoes and I have a hard time finding any shoes that are both small and wide enough for my feet. I also bought a cute pink The Sak clutch that was originally priced at $69 for less than $25 at Marshalls. It looks like this. I also got some new clothes, mostly for when I (hopefully) go to VCU in the fall.
I'm probably set for school clothing, but I still want at least one of the fancier party tops or dresses from one of the junior stores in the mall because someday, at least once in my life, I want to go out dancing, and I want to have something cute to wear for that. I don't want something so sexy that my boobs will pop out of it, but I'm interested in the brightly colored flowing tops that have shoulder cutouts and other interesting details. I feel more comfortable in tops that have a more modest neckline, but I wouldn't really mind a low-cut top if it either has a built-in bra or isn't too low for me to wear a bra under it. Maybe those are the kinds of things I will look at the next time I go shopping. I also still want to try to find a few more pairs of shoes if I can.
I'm going to work some more on my Gaia profile now, so I'll write more later. :3
