Shopping

I'm happy to report that I don't feel blah today like I was feeling the rest of the week. I went out this morning by myself and did a little shopping. That always makes a girl feel better :). I found the cutest shirt at Khol's and picked it up. Isn't it great? I love that little pink belt that it came with. Too cute! They had it in 2 other colors so I'm really proud of myself that I only bought this one. I have a really bad habit of finding a style of a shirt that I really like and buying it in every color...LOL! I haven't done that in a while so I am getting better. I'd say it's been a good..I don't know, 3 months or so since I've done that...lol. (I take that back...I did do it this morning but with a different top..I'll get to that in a minute..lol.) It's only because I have a hard time finding tops that I really really like. Well, I take that back....I'm sure a few of you have encountered this a time or two...you find a top somewhere that looks fantastic on the hanger but when you try it on...ewwwwww......lol. It's rather annoying. I don't ever buy a clothing item without trying it on. I just can't. Different brands fit differently. Like let's take New York & Co. I like shopping there because their clothes run bigger so I can buy a smaller size..LOL! Same with Old Navy. I could go somewhere else like Sears or Penney's though and wear a whole different size. It's really screwy. And if I buy a button up shirt I have to buy an even bigger size to get it buttoned over my chest. And I don't think my chest is all that big, I just think they don't make these button up shirts very roomy up top. I also found a cute denim skirt that was on sale for 70% off....I didn't really need another denim skirt but it was so darn cheap..lol. I also picked up a really cute dark blue top...I'm ashamed to say I have the same top in black with white polka dots and red with white polka dots...lol. You would've bought it too though! It was 80% off so I got it for $4.00. I really do need to try to make an effort to not buy the same shirt in multiple colors...lol. I think I had a really good shopping trip..I got the denim skirt, the blue top, and the brown polka dotted top with the pink belt up top, all for $35.00. Gosh, I love Khol's....lol.

I think I'm slowly climbing out of my stitching slump too. I started that Checkered Liberty kit last night that I received from Rachel yesterday. This is the first time I've had the pleasure of stitching on gingham fabric. It's gonna look really great once it's finished! I'm hoping to finish it this week so I can display it for this 4th of July. I'll most likely make it in to a flat fold. Boy I bet ya didn't see that coming, did ya? LOL!
