I went shopping this morning for a few hours. I bought a pair of jeans last week and took them back to the store where I bought them to have them hemmed (for free, I might add with a smile). While there, I tried on another pair of pants, a dress, two tanks, and four tops but didn't buy a thing. They either weren't just right or were too expensive.
From there I wandered down the mall to another store were I went bra shopping. I H A T E shopping for bras. They never fit right so I have to settle for garmets that are just OK instead of fabulous. Luckily, they were on sale so I didn't feel as bad as I would have if I'd paid full price.
On my way out of the store, I spotted a cute skirt and sweater set. I tried it on, liked it a lot so I bought it. It's fun to buy skirts again after wearing only long pants for far too many years.
Now I need 1 formal outfit, 3 daytime casual outfits and a pair of casual, low-heeled shoes (not tennies) and I'll be set for the trip. I'm getting there.

I like to wear skirts when I go out as my uniform at work is shirt and pants. I hate bra shopping too! Hope you manage to get the rest of the clothes you want for the trip! Jeannette xx
I hate to shop for clothes, shoes...all that stuff. And I won't try stuff on in the store. If I like it, I get it in what I think is my size and then bring it home to try on. I'd rather take it back then try to try on clothes in those nasty, little, hot dressing rooms. I did go once to a Bra Shop (they sell for big busted women and women who need a prostetic for their bra) and get measured. Now I just buy Platex 18 Hour (with the wide, heavy duty straps) in my size, and I can get them thru Avon. Linda in WA
Iagree with you and everyone else buying bras is a pain ,however I can usually find something in Marks and Spencers ,do you have them ?shortening the jeans is a good service ,I hope you find the other things you need ,....Jan xx
I buy all my stuff through catalogues as I cannot get to the shops, saves all that trying on. Rarely have to send anything back.

Great! Now you're talking! rose~
Sounds like you had a fun day and even though you didn't end up getting a lot, you got a few more things crossed off your list for the cruise. I'm excited for you about the skirts too, I can't wait to finally wear a dress again. You make sure to take a picture of you in it too........promise??? :)
Pooh Hugs,
