A Girl's Gotta Shop

Yesterday started with a trip to the gym that was over before it even started. Heidi and I have decided that our off Fridays should start with Mat Pilates. We both like the class and it gets me up early enough to actually be productive on a day off. However, this Friday, class was canceled. Since I showed up in flip flops, I felt my options were limited and I decided to return home.

This mishap at the gym allow me to go home shower and take my time getting ready for my hair appointment. I was considering growing my hair out and donating it again, but I hit a wall some point last week and just said, this has got to go. My hair was done by a nice man named Cosmo and it looks fantastic. I have already made my next appointment with him which is a first for me.

After all that, the girls and I went shopping!!! This got me very excited because we visited what I refer to as "The Shoe Mecca". *enter angel music here* It's really called Nordstrom's Rack, but I like my title better. I have big feet. I am ok with this. Finding shoes however is normally a nightmare. It sounds something like this, "Do you have this in a size 10 or 11?", "No" on a repeated loop. This place is fantastic for me finding shoes mostly because they have the largest selection of large size shoes ever. I happily purchased 4 pairs of shoes, one of which was a $4 pair of flip flops. The others were substantial work shoes and a new pair of athletic sneakers, all of which I desperately needed.

From there we hit up the Mall of Georgia and meandered around going from store to store. I definitely made out like a bandit in a few places. I got a cool skirt at Old Navy and purchased a new outfit and some sweaters from Banana Republic. All of it was on sale. Wohoo! I have never been known to be ahead of the fashion curve so I am ok waiting two months for it to go to the sale rack. :)

Overall it was a pretty nice way to spend an off Friday. It's almost like playing hooky from work, but not really. Now I just have to make room in my closet for my new purchases. :)
