Well here I am. Not been shopping for a single thing for myself since last OCTOBER!! I can hardly believe it. If you read my last couple of posts, you will know I was in WA State with my family for a not so happy reunion. My Padre passed into heaven and I could not be sadder. However, being in said State with my family, provided a few very unique shopping challenges...and I persevered!
My second week in town I took my dear Madre to buy some new clothes. We went to Kohl's. Now I have never shopped at Kohl's, they don't have what I normally would consider appropriate clothing for my age or work status. In other words, I love, love, love all the cute trendy tops, dresses and pants they have for the junior set, but frankly, I am trying very hard to stay away from those trends. I am learning the things I buy on impulse, trendy, not my normal 'style', are the things that are hanging in the back of my closet. And since I have been shopping in my closet, none of those things have seen the light of day. I feel kind of silly and a bit over the top and might put them on, but they always come off before I leave the house.
The other specialty Kohl's has is the suburban housewife look, and I can not bring myself to even try them on. But my sweet M sat on the bench in the dressing room and tried on everything I brought her. She has the stamina of a horse, and I say this with the best of intentions. She tried on 14 pairs of pants and several tops. I ran the floor looking for sizes and styles. In the end, we went home with 3 new pairs of slacks, including a new pair of denim jeans (not Mom Jeans!), and 2 new tops. I was so happy to be buying clothing! Even though it wasn't for me, it hit the satisfaction bone.
Next post will be underpinning shopping with my sister-in-law. Too much fun!
Love,
S
