In exchange for being the designated driver for fiance and his pal who enjoyed the afternoon at the dogfish head brewpub, I went shopping. And ohhhh a shopping I went.
$350 later or so, I spent $170 ish in JCrew, $25 or so in American Eagle, $105 in Old Navy and $50 in Coach…I have…
2 pairs of shorts,
4 tank tops
1 halter top
2 sweaters (including 1 sweater vest)
1 headband
1 flip flops
1 new coach bag (for $40!!!!!! *squeeeeee*
1 pair of pants
1 work shirt
and a couple things for the fiance.
I am good. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the totebag I wanted in LLBean outlet store…they were all pre-monogrammed. Ummm why would anyone want something that’s already been monogrammed? Is that just me???
Tomorrow, after work and after a workout, I will go through my closet and put a bunch of stuff on ebay. Mostly because I a. need the bling. b. I’m running out of room.
I’m pretty excited about much of this stuff though….especially green floral pants/capris from JCrew with a cute white sweater, more madras print shorts from JCrew with matching flip flops, new work pants from Old Navy along with a cute pair of white shorts. What I found most…interesting I guess you could say, is that although I went into Hollister and Abercrombie, nothing caught my eye. My shopping trips of late? Ann Taylor Loft, JCrew, Old Navy…hell I even found myself contemplating clothes in Brooks brother and if the line hadn’t been so damn long, I would have gotten a couple things from the Ralph Lauren outlet. I wish I had grabbed them but I’m much happier with the new coach bag 
Anyhow, it’s been a pretty awesome fourth of July weekend. For now, since I had multiple near anxiety attacks driving back from Rehoboth (as you all remember…) I hate…HATE driving. Like seriously, it might as well give me hives. I don’t trust other drivers, I tend to veer a little right (as I learned tonight) and like my mother, I hate driving at night. So, much to my dismay (although it all worked out in the end…) I missed the turn off to 295 to get to RFK hence on East Cap, and home. Instead, I headed in on NY Ave, to 395 and straight shot to the 6th street exit and wham bam thank you ma’am we were home.
Now? I get to enjoy my fun clothes. Squeeee. So excited. Perhaps I’ll show pict0rs tomorrow. For now? I’m going to enjoy my cider.

I really, really, really want to go shopping. Like full on all out shopping.
Sigh. Responsibility.
Dogfish Head – what a name! I’m glad someone likes to go shopping. I think I was born without the shopping gene, because I’m the only woman I know who hates to shop!
I suppose if you could find a pre-monogrammed bag with your own monogram on it that would be very serendipitous. J.Crew factory outlet is a major weakness of mine and I’m blessed to have one about 30 miles away from me: just close enough that I can go often but far enough that I’m not going to go every day. (Because I totally would).
Sounds like some great stuff! I can’t not wait to get some cash in my hot little hands to buy a few new things. But until then I must pay the bills! Drats!
Wow, it sounds like you got a lot of great stuff. I want to buy new things so badly, it hurts.
I wonder if your fiance knew in advance that being his designated driver cost so much money!
I convinced my husband that I just had to go to ATL on Saturday because I had $25 off $50 coupons that expired on the 6th. Definitely came home with some cute stuff. I like this whole revamping my wardrobe thing. Oh and the sales are amazing right now. By the way… we really do need to run sometime soon. Sorry about Friday!!
I just stumbled over this blog. I love it! I was Googling my search terms (“nate gerbe” “cute”) and found it. First off, I too am a pink lover and shopaholic (and love facebook). Second, I was looking at the side of your blog and noticed “Mediocre Blog – confirmation that this blog is not on top.” AWESOME! I’m jealous. Hahaha!!!
that sounds like me this weekend with all the shopping! $300 @ target, $100 @ Old Navy and $100 at a consignment shop. But TONS of new summer clothes!!
I want to go shopping so bad, but I am resisting the urge… hope my mom will take me to the outlets near home before I move to Chi!
