Shopping Buddy

I had to make a trip to Boston for work this week and you know what, it’s really cold up there and there is like 7 feet of snow piled everywhere. And I don’t really have a true winter coat. Well, evidently finding a winter coat while there is still snow on the ground in your city in February is a lot like trying to find a bathing suit in July. The stores have already switched seasons!!

I finally found one…..as luck would have it, it had been returned to the store the night before and I was able to pick it up on super duper clearance, which is even better.

This little one came shopping with me. She didn’t want to go at first, but we had a rough morning around the house. Basically she throws a huge fit every time she doesn’t get her way or is corrected. Or thinks someone is interrupting her. I really thought getting some one on one time with her would do the trick so I finally persuaded her to go with me. In the end, she was so glad she did!

At SteinMart, I think she tried on every hat and purse combination in the store! I took a pic of a few of her poses!

The sales lady was less than pleased but I didn’t care. I made sure she was putting everything back the right way.

After I finally drug her away from the accessories, we hit the clothing racks. She kept holding up things to show me and asking “does this look too grandma for you?” Ha. She’s not a quiet child either!!

I promised her we could look for jewelry to accessorize my new clothes. Well, that turned into another 20 minute parade in front of mirrors. She couldn’t unfasten any of the big jeweled necklaces, so she just put them on top of her head like headpieces. She was in love. And very put out when I wouldn’t buy her one!

She also threw this one out there at me on the drive home:

A: “Are you allowed to have children before you get married? “

Me: “Um, yes, it can happen but it’s not necessarily always the preferred order of operations. Why do you ask?”

A: “Because I want my kids to come wedding dress shopping with me.”

Hahaha! What can I say….we love to watch “Say Yes to the Dress” together!

When we got home, she helped me pack. She picked out some great outfits, complete with jewelry and shoes!
