alexiscartwheelI hate shopping by myself. I don't like to spend lots of money, and I'm incapable of making decisions. Nevertheless, with the hot weather we've had the past few weeks, I decided I needed to expand my summer wardrobe beyond the one skirt I'd been wearing almost every day. I really shouldn't shop by myself though. I dawdle, get frustrated and end up going in stores I never would normally. (Could they possibly spray more cologne inside Abercrombie & Fitch? Or play the music louder? You think sensory overload will convince me to buy expensive bermuda shorts?)
Thank God for my sister, or I'd have spent two and half hours shopping with nothing to show for it! I sent her picture messages of the things I tried on so that I could get a second opinion. I ended up with an olive-ish khaki skirt, a denim mini, navy shorts, a pink patterned top, and a plaid canvas bag--just because. After middle school, I swore I'd never wear navy shorts again, but since it's been nine years, and these were much cuter than my old uniform shorts and were the only pair of shorts I tried on all day that fit properly, I think I can make an exception! :D And--I'm so proud of myself--I bought stuff from stores other than the Gap. Go me!
My weeks of procrastination paid off too. By now, summer stuff is going on sale. Nevermind that summer "officially" began one week ago, in the retail world, it's almost time for fall. So yeah, that was my intention the whole time. Uh-huh. ;)
