Long week

Whew, what a week! I decided last Wednesday to get a dress or skirt for Easter. It's been about 2 years since wearing either so that's kind of a big deal for me. Off to the store we went but to no avail, Wal Mart had nothing. I didn't think they would honestly. The next night I took Jaylin and Jodie with me to shop some more. I went to Ross and they had nothing. I went to Old Navy and they had nothing. Then I went to Belk. This really nice sales associate helped me pick out an outfit and I thought it looked ok. She said it was really flattering. When I checked out the total for one skirt and one shirt was 48 dollars! Well, I don't usually buy clothes so I decided I would just get it.

On my way home I began to feel a bit of buyers remorse. When I got home I went up and tried the outfit on again and totally changed my mind. That shirt did NOT flatter me, it made me look downright chunky! I just had my fourth kid, there's not much that really is going to flatter me to be honest...I decide to return the outfit. I haven't yet but I will this week.

Saturday after an easter egg hunt at our church I took the kids with me to Goodys. I tried on a couple things but didn't really like any of them. All these dresses and skirts look so cute on other people but not really on me. Instead I buy a brand new pair of shoes and earrings and a necklace. I got a shirt from WalMart and wore it on Sunday with jeans, and the high heels and earrings. Not the necklace because it didn't look good with the whole thing. I am not much of an accessory person, I wish I was....Maybe someday I'll put together a really cute outfit on my own. Until then I rely on my friends, acquantiances and yes- the random person shopping within 2 feet of me. If I had a quarter for each time I stop someone to ask if this and that matches I would be able to afford that outfit from Belk!
