clothing is heavy

[auntiemeesh]

I went shopping today at the Waterfront and seemingly was suffering from some sort of clothing-related temporary insanity. I blame it all on Old Navy, as they have decided to sell all sorts of adorably cute clothes (that amazingly enough actually fit me) for low, low prices.

The damages:

Two pairs of jeans
two camis (for layering)
two long-sleeved scoop neck tees
one zip-up hoodie
two v-neck long sleeve tees
three princess sleeve sweaters

Next I hit DSW, where I bought a pair of Mudd heels


and some Skechers.


Finally, on to Target, where I got a belt, lots of colorful little socks and some undies. Oh, and a watch. One that will actually fit my wrist.

I'm not sure I've ever bought this much clothing in one go, but my wardrobe has been sorely suffering. All of my jeans have holes at the knee and I always need new shirts and sweaters - this time I at least managed to buy some sweaters in a different style than the last few years.

Of course, I misjudged how long it would take to do this shopping. I flew through Old Navy like a whirlwind and the other stores didn't take very long, either. Which means I got back into Squirrel Hill a good hour and a half before my bus was due. Which means I walked home, carrying all that heavy clothing, probably a good two miles. My arms are going to be sore tomorrow.

I was pleased to see Obama supporters out in force today, but they were canvassing Squirrel Hill, which is already fully in their camp. I'm hoping they were also out in Republican neighborhoods.

Now I am exhausted. I think it's an excellent time to sit back, download SGA and read some fic.

Yay for new wardrobe!

I saw a t-shirt the other day that said "Dachshunds for Obama". :)

I would like to say I'm not going to need any new clothing again for a couple of years, but when spring rolls around I'm going to be shopping for tees again - almost all of mine are very worn.

"Dachsunds for Obama" is fantastic. I've been wanting an Obama button for a while, so at least I was able to get one today. First time I've ever bought a political button - I'm not sure what that says about the state of affairs around here these days.

That certainly is a lot of clothes. I like the shoes you bought. They look like something I'd steer right at in the shoe store.

The heels aren't the type I normally go for, but they're very cute. They'll be good for dressing up jeans for a date or anything like that. :)

Sounds like a fun day!
=D

Well, it was a successful day, at any rate. I don't really love shopping and I hate spending money on clothes, so as far as that goes it was more of a 'gird loins and step into the fray' kind of day. But I'm happy with everything that I got, so I'll count it as good. :)

I'm a little surprised that my arms aren't sore today. Pleased, but surprised.

I like your new shoes, especially the Skechers.

I've been a fan of Skechers for a while now. :)

Old Navy has some great stuff right now. Sadly, most of it won't fit me, but I did find an adorable plum-colored silk blouse there day before yesterday. I wish I could see what you bought! I wish I was as tiny as you!
