so in the name of some hard core 'retail therapy', i have spent the last 2 or 3 weeks storming through every store i can find buying clothes and many other misc. things in an attempt to drown my sorrows or squash my stress or something like that.
an interesting discovery was made at old navy: Members Only jackets are cool? i'm serious, amidt all the hordes of sweaters that "could maybe be just a sweater, or is it a dress?" and the ruffley tank tops with glitter, i saw a rack of members only jackets... you know, the kind that was made fun of on the vh1 'remember the 80s" stuff? yea. now. at old navy. sure!
but i DID find some wonderful things all the same. i had my first experience at a bananna republic. my preconceptions were correct, it is VERY expensive. however, much to my enjoyment, just about everything cool in the store was at least 50% off, thus making it much closer to my price range. Behold: my new skirt!
and the swanky shoes (which i already had, but were especially sassy with this outfit):
speaking of shoes. guess what? Payless doesnt suck anymore!!! and in celebration of the fact that they actually had an abondence of awesome shoes, i bought 5 pairs!! yes, i AM insane. but i am also really great at justifying purchases. i dont have pictures of my 5 new pairs of shoes, but that's ok. just the fact htat i have them should be enough. i am very silly.
so yes, you cant see the shoes that go with this very well, but they're totally cool! elizabeth, these are the 40 foot high teal summery ones. i bought a linen suit at old navy a couple weeks ago and then on one of my recent adventures i found this fun top in my size and this nice cardigan both on clearance! i do love old navy. :o)

So do you wear the necklace with the shoes, or does it not go with the suit? I can't quite remember what it looks like.
Oh, I forgot to mention earlier that I do like the grey skirt. I'd like to have something like that for my wardrobe, but it wouldn't fit for long, so I probably won't be making that addition at this time!
