Yesterday I went shopping in Little Rock. The original plan was for me to go by myself, but Stephen decided at the last minute to make a hospital visit, so we all went. And the update on the hospital visit is, she had been discharged!!! I looked at him with disbelief, I could have been on this trip alone!!! I think I will remind him to call before we all leave next time.
So, after dropping off our clothes at the big consignment sale this weekend, we headed off to look for a dress for me. I found a great dress at Kohl's, it fit, it was priced right, and I loved it. Stephen, however, didn't. He suggested we keep looking. So I hid the dress on a different rack. (I know I'm not supposed to do that!). We then went to lunch at Shotgun Dan's pizza. Daniel got a kick out of the name and thought he should have brought his shotgun. It was really good, we will go back there.
Well, back to shopping. We went to the mall, walked by every store, tried on many dresses and left empty-handed. On our way to the interstate I remembered another little shopping center close by, so Stephen turned around(which wasn't easy, but I think he was determined to get me a dress). After looking at 3 other stores and trying on dresses, we went in White House Black Market. I found a dress!!!!!It is black of course, because they only sell white or black, and I wouldn't be caught dead in a white dress! It is pretty, fitting, possibly flattering, and expensive. I don't know that I've ever spent that much on a dress before.
You see, I am cheap! I mean CHEAP!!! I love resale, and consignment shops more than anything, and have been shopping them for 6 years now, since I stopped working and we had more than 1 child. I have found that after buying Crocs for 25 cents and Polo pants for $1.25 it is hard to pay more than $10.00 for something. I think this is the reason Stephen insisted on buying me a dress that was substantial. It was about time for something new to hit my closet that I bought for myself! It feels good, I don't have buyers remorse and I can't wait to wear it! YEA!!!!
I do plan on going back and getting the dress at Kohl's though. It was cute (I think), but I will probably need a second opinion. Anyone up for a shopping trip with me? I promise not to try on 19 dresses again!
