Vacation was great Kygal, just busy now at work catching up.
Have to go shopping this weekend, have a family wedding in a few weeks and I need a new dress. Saw one I liked online but I hate buying clothes when I can’t try them on. I hate shopping in general so when I buy something I want to be done. With online shopping you look at stuff find something you like, buy it and yeah! You’re done shopping. But then it comes and looks terrible on you so you have to send it back and start all over again. A friend once told me that I don’t shop, I buy things. And she was right.

I get it. I like to shop when I need things. Just looking is not for me, unless I just need to get out of the house. Agree with the online shopping. I prefer to try things on or be able to return items quickly.
Have a great weekend!

The shopping trip was a bust! The dress I liked online wasn’t in the store. And when I went online my size was sold out. Oh well, there’s always next weekend.
Did a service project in conjunction with my school. It was billed as helping plant a garden at a local elementary school. Turned out a bit differently, some people spread mulch and top soil, but my group was put to work building the frames for the raised gardens and then building benches. Spent the morning using power tools. Fun but man is my arm sore tonight . Those drills aren’t exactly light.

Good luck on the dress hunt! I love the idea of your project. Gardening and painting are activities I am always sore from. Cant say I have been using power tools though! The vision!

Found a dress online but daughter was outraged that I would consider paying full price. Said the site usually ran sales on the weekend. With my luck the dress in my size will be gone.
Not so sore today from wielding the power tools.

The last wedding I attended I bought a dress online. It worked out but I was nervous. Had a back up. Good luck!

Thanks Kygal. The wedding is still a few weeks away so I'm not panicking yet.

Success! Found a dress for the wedding and it was on sale. And as per usual, it's a dress daughter pulled off the rack that I would never have considered. It's a black floral print (daughter says it's ok to wear to the wedding since it's not solid black). Since the wedding is casual it's something I can actually wear to work. Also found another dress that will be good for work. It even has (wait for it!) pockets. I love, love, love dresses with pockets. Someone needs to tell designers that women need to carry stuff around and they can't always lug around a purse.

Rachel! Agree with the pockets. There was a time a would not wear a dress with pockets. That has changed!

The other reason I hate shopping, I tried on about 7 different dresses in 3 different sizes. What size you wear depends on the designer/manufacturer. Guys have it so much better, their clothes are sized to match actual body measurements.

That is so true and frustrating. I have to be in the mood to shop.

A friend of mine says that I don’t shop, that I buy things. And I have to admit that going to malls is my least favorite thing to do.
