J. Crew sweater handed down from my sister, Paige jeans, shoes from Heartbreaker
Don't look at my toenails!!! I'm begging you!!
But yay shopping! Pretty good night last night, although I still haven't found the high waisted jorts that have eluded me all summer! I have a black pair but I want a blue denim, more loose fitting pair. There are some at American Apparel but I just can't justify spending $60 on a pair of shorts when I spend $40 on a pair of pants, and shorts are smaller than pants- therefore they should cost less. Right? This makes sense! Why should I spend more for less material? Also I don't wear shorts as much because 1) this summer I'm working in a freezing office and have to wear pants as often as possible because otherwise I'm shaking the whole day 2) it's cold most of the year, and during fall/winter skirts and dresses are still acceptable in my book because you can pair them with tights/boots to warm up, but it's harder with shorts unless you're going for a grunge-hipster look, in which case you add some flannel and bada-bing we're in business 3) they're smaller than pants!!! Come on!
I get pretty intense during shopping trips to MOA, which is why I usually do them on my own (because the last time I went with my mom and sister they were literally shocked at how I could go for so long and not get overwhelmed). For me, it's a matter of putting blinders on and taking each piece for what it's worth. Going with Natalie was fun but I think she, too, was exhausted by the end of the night.
My spoils from the trip were:
H&M
Denim shirt (I have a long chambray shirt, which I was wearing yesterday, but not a regular denim shirt that I could pair denim on denim, or over a dress or skirt)
Burgundy open knit sweater
3 crop tops in blue/white/burgundy (they were $4...!)
Urban Outfitters
Levi's high waisted cropped-leg jeans in a lighter blue color (not denim)
Forever 21
High waisted to the knee tight sweater skirt in navy
White/black color block graphic dress
Nordstrom Rack
Paige jeans- peg skinny which I'm wearing today!
All for about $200- not bad, right? The jeans were by far my biggest purchase, but my other 2 pairs of designer jeans are my favorite pants, and the amount of times I wear them balances out the price in my opinion. We also went to regular Nordstrom so Natalie could get a pair of Tom's, and I just about died passing the St. Johns and Prada displays. Every time I go into that store I realize I need to just make a shitload of money so I can buy these things. Or work in fashion so I can get samples for free :)
After work today I'm gonna be scooting to AAA to pick up those guidebooks before getting downtown for Salem #4. Hopefully there's not a long line! But this also gives me an excuse to leave at 3:30-3:45. Yayayayay! I don't think I have any people I know coming tonight, which will be a little weird, but I'm just hoping we have a bigger crowd. We're at 5:30, which is the earliest slot for weeknights, and on Tuesday the group was mid-sized, comparable to opening night. People come to our show! Give us reviews! Then after the show I'm getting dinner with my friend Josh, who I haven't seen all summer and is leaving for his freshman year of college while I'm roadtripping/in LA, so this was our last chance to get together. In fact I should probably figure out where we're going so I can plan accordingly on my dismissal from Rarig. And now Alex is texting me to watch Dead Files after that so it looks like I have a full night planned! While watching Dead Files I WILL CLEAN MY ROOM. I really have to. And I'll work on trip planning. Maybs I'll do some of that now- werk.
