Shopping Shopping Shopping!!!!

Last night I couldn’t sleep and I thought it was because Amanda and I were planning on going shopping today. While I have no money to be clothes shopping, I was still so excited to go. I did buy (another) pair of big Jackie O sunglasses. They were a deal and it's always good to have an extra pair laying around!. Amanda has a wedding to go to this weekend and she has been trying to find something cool/hip to wear. I lent her my Vintage 1940’s blue dress and it fit perfect, but she was still holding out for something fun. She did find something in an eye candy glossy zine that she liked and tried to match.

Amanda bought THE cutest shirt that I will be borrowing next weekend when I go out for dinner and drinks with Clint. (thanks girlfriend) She got the “look for less” bug in her and she walked out of the mall carrying bags galore. She was in the mood for a new wardrobe too. We always talked about being young cool hip midwives – breaking down stereotypes of frumpy lumpy long skirt, polar-tec vest wearing, clog happy middle age midwives. She will be the new look of midwifery: Tattoos showing, clothes that are hip but not urban buttsniffer comercial hip, clothes that make her stand out in that “that girl’s got it going on!” way. No purple, no peasant skirts, no clogs, no vest and absolutely no jeans that come all the way up to the rib cage. She is set to become that midwife that rocks! She knows her stuff too. It’s so exciting to see her in full bloom and even funner to be her fashionista. (I’m not really one, but I just play one on TV!)
I’m all about the sale racks and will never ever ever pay full price for anything. Okay, maybe shoes, but that is probably the only thing because I don’t buy shoes that often and when I do it’s because I really really want them and I have done all the research on them and have found the best price. Having just wrote this, I JUST bought a pair of Dansko shoes for a steal on Ebay! (I used my B-day money!-guilt free here!)

Okay, so the Dansko shoes are considered "clogs" I need to retract that statement about frumpy midwives and clogs. What I really mean is birkenstock clogs. Better? Also, Amanda just tried on her outfit and is smitten as a kitten w/ her look! Her hubby was even all about it and said she took the best person with her shopping. Highest compliment indeed!

I think I was born to shop! (with other people's money) My mom says that to me all the time!
It must be in the genes because she isn't a shabby shopper either.
