merely talk

I headed downtown this afternoon with my cousin Anna. It was awesome. I love shopping, she loves shopping and there was a shoe sale at Aldo. It was a beautiful thing. I managed to get a pair of pretty and warm pale blue boots which are adorable and a really funky pair of runners. Their beige with these pink straps that cris cross across the foot. Very cool. And it was buy one pair and get the second half off, and both these shoes were already sale priced at 50% off. So I got a super deal. And it made me happy. And they are pretty.

After the shoe extravaganza (Anna also walked away with a pair of boots and some strappy sandals) we headed to Winners for some discounted fashion fun. I was unlucky. I found one pair of passable jeans but then decided they looked better on Anna, but no luck with anything else. Anna found a shirt that was super cute though. So it was sucessful.

While we were waiting for the bus we went into Le Chateau for a moment to keep warm. I saw a super cute cord jacket and tried it on as a lark. It was nice but didn't quite fit in the shoulders (Which is actually a common problem for me...ends up my shoulders just aren't broad enough for my body). My actions attracted the attention of a sales person who shuffled me to the front of the store and showed me the most beautiful coat I'd ever seen. It was twice the price of the one I had just tried on, but warmer and longer and gorgeous. So I put it on. Which in hindsight was my downfall. It fit like a glove. Perfectly tailored in the shoulders and hitting me just above the knee. And I fell in love and laid down my debit card. I am the queen of the impulse shoppers.
