my shopping O.

Oh my goodness.

Today was the best shopping day I have ever had.

Not even kidding.

My day started late due to a late night. :-)

I love sleeping in on Fridays.

I knew I wanted to go shopping today.

the items wanted were pants and shoes.

did I get either?
NO.
am I sad about it?
NO.
did I get tons of stuff?
YES.
Did the hubby say I get to keep it?
YES!


I went to the south town mall.
it really is the best mall.
First I went to my old stopping ground, Maurices.
They are having a 75% off clearance sale. So I got 3 tops for 15$.

wow that felt good.

It spiraled out of control from there.

Here is the sequence of events.

Walk around the store, grab everything I wanted to try in a size Medium and Small.
Go to the dressing room.
Try on a shirt, it looked fabulous, great put it in my bag.
Try on another shirt, it looked great, put it in my bag.
Try on another shirt, looked just as great, put it in my bag.

I rinsed and repeated this step 22 times.

twenty two.
2-2
22
21+1
23-1

22.

I am the proud new owner of 22 gorgeous tops that make me feel ridiculously empowered with femininely sexual voltage.

you have NO idea.

If you don't want to hear anymore about this, stop reading. Cause I am obsessed.

Also know that the average cost for each piece was 6.54$.

thats right.

Alright, here is the loot.
:)

Alright, the sweater doesn't look special, but its very fitted and has a deep V front and back. I want to wear it with a raceback tank top, but then I will lose the deep V in the back which shows a lot of skin. So we will see. The brown and black are fitted stretchy shirts. simple.

left one is a ruffle top thing lol. the right one is a less fitted braided top thing.
these 2 are casual but I can still wear them to work. :) the cream one is shear, and the orange one is a great color.

OK . these 2 are the only two I am not sure about. They are apart of the whole bigger open sleeve new look, so I thought I would try it out. I tried them on and they fitted very fitted on my stomach witch I love, so we will see I like the sleeves.
the pink one has a zipper going down the back. kind of fun.
green top, simple. I love the neck on the purple one, I have a red one just like it.
FUN! the polka dot one is very sassy and flattering. the bottom one is very baggy and fitted at the hip, but the print was just so fun!

these are all the racerback tanks that I now love.

Alright. these 2 were my price busters. Each for 20$ a piece. the cami is soooo pretty, its got a lace top that you cant really tell from the picture, the bottom is very flowy, but sooo elegant. I am in love. The jacket goes with it, its a blue and white pinstripe and it ties right under my chest. :)
This is a sassy sexy shirt. It has a very open back that somehow, I don't know how, it covers my G's. I was shocked. unfortunately it doesnt cover them in the front so I will need a cami for that.

OK. I am done.

I can't wait to wear it all, all the time.

Normally, when I go shopping, I have to make absolute sure I want something before I buy it. So I take pictures of me in the mirror, send them to my BFF Bequi, and have her tell me what she thinks. OR I have her with me. Well, she was busy today so I didn't take many pics.

I really wanted a pencil skirt. this one. But, I couldn't convince myself my legs looked good in it. So I went home without it.

I LOVED this shirt. But, the sleeves just BARELY didn't cover enough of my arm. I was so bummed. and it was full price. but ooooo I felt sexy it in, except I thought my arms looked a little manly lol. oh well.

That sounds so fun! -And that's saying something for me, because boy oh Boy do I hate shopping. I've been trying to think of a good mall to shop at around here - Gateway is fun from time to time, but more for window shopping. Fashion Place is usually a bust. Layton Hills near where my parents live isn't bad - but I'm certainly not going to drive 40 minutes each way to shop. I haven't been to South Towne in a while - I hope Maurice's is still having a sale by the time I make it down there :)
