Going Shopping...

I went out shopping for a little bit yesterday afternoon. One of my main reasons was to get another pair of jeans...with the weather cooling down 1 pair wasn't going to cut it and the pair I have I love since they are really comfortable but they are on the long side and only look good with heels. So we headed out to the Tanger Outlets and to the American Eagle store. It's such a different experience to shop for clothing now then it was a year ago. I know my body type so I stayed away from the skinny jeans and hit up the boot cut and hipsters. I didn't see the boyfriend cut right away but I knew that they fit since I had tried them on about a month and half ago. I do have to say that it's still a bit shocking to have to not struggle to get the jeans up over my calves, hips and buttoned/zipped at the waist. I like the way that the boot cut looked more than the hipsters (which were a bit longer in the leg) so I held onto them until right before I left I found the boyfriend cut and grabbed those instead, the were cheaper, lol. I also tried on a couple of shirts in a Medium and was a bit hesitant since the last time I tried on a Medium there they were a bit small. I really like the first on I tried on but really didn't want to buy another shirt in that style, I'm wanting to expand what I wear on a regular basis. The sweater fit but I didn't like how it looked on me, but still its a great feeling to know that I can walk into almost any store and find something that will fit and look good on me. My next shopping trip is going to be for shoes and I'm hoping to do that this week too and maybe a couple more shirts/sweaters, plus I'm going to need a jacket/coat since winter is right around the corner. And you can ask my husband I have always hated to shop especially at the mall since I would walk by so many stores knowing that I couldn't fit into anything in there and it was really bad when I would go with him in Hollister or Abercrombie & Finch and see all the cute clothes while he shopped and just feel so completely out of place in there....but not anymore, lol. Though you still won't see me shopping at either one of those stores since they seem to love their clothing so much, totally out of my price range, but I'm looking forward to getting back to NY & Co. and a few other stores, :)


Enough of my rambling...off to do some homework that I have put off for way too long!!!
