So I will confess that I've been doing a little shopping lately, you know in preparation for my big trip to Cali in just 8 days, a girl must have new clothes for a girls trip, right?
Being at the mall has schooled me, it's sharpened my cat-like reflexes, improved my ninja skills, and enhanced my arsenal of dirty looks and one liners. I'm actually in better shape than I've been in years!
Walking through the mall likens a stroll through the state fair with a buffet of pushers trying to sell you their goods. Hair straighteners, teeth whiteners {the people actually sitting in the dental chairs with the neon blue light in their mouth in the middle of the mall is a post all its own!}, cell phone screen protectors, and my personal favorite the Barbizon models.
Thanks to these plethora of pushers I can fake a phone call, dodge a hot flat iron, roll my eyes, take the hem out of a skirt that is obscenely too short and 'no thanks now get out of my face' in 5 seconds flat and in three different languages.
Seriously, what does a girl have to do to walk the mall in peace?
Here's a little sneak at a few of the things I bought...
IA said I had to bring a dress, that's a little problem since I'm more of a jeans and tee kind of girl. So I sent her Janette and Boobies a text asking if I in fact needed a dress. Their response was, and I quote, "Yes, you have to be big pippin'! You need something that screams "I'm sexy and I know it". Well, I don't know if this dress does that but I do like it. I also don't know if I should trust their fashion advice, I have pictures of them that should tell me to place them on eternal fashion ignore! Girls...don't piss me off I have blackmail!
I also picked up these super cute orange shoes, before I found the dress, for a pop of color with jeans and a tee. I also found this cute purse but when it comes to purses I'm kind of a snob, I only carry one brand so even though it's a near perfect match I'm debating returning it. I'm still on the fence on whether or not I'm going to keep the shoes too, I need to wear them around the house for a day and see if they're going to make my feet bleed before I make my final decision.
Cute finds, no? I'm loving all of the new colors this spring and I cannot wait to pack my suitcase...I may start today!
Your turn....what are you talking about today?

Those shoes are adorable! Don't return them! That dress looks great on you. I wish I wasn't so short...I can never carry off that look.
I don't wear dresses.
Not gonna happen.
I love the purse and shoes!
I like the dress and the shoes. So cute. I would like to find a purse like that one, it looks great. However the shopping options here are very limited, unless I can get out of town.
Have fun in Cali--everyone is going to Cali except me--even Nick is there right now.
I like the dress. Not sure about the purse.
I was gonna say something about the mall but then I saw the pic of you & all I can say is WOW! You look fan-freggin-tastic, like seriously!!!
LOVE the shoes, not completely digging the purse, kinda looks old-ladyish. Unless you keep it, then it totally is cute then. LOL
You coulda just borrowed mine silly girl!

That dress looks good on you! If I wore something like that, I'd totally be a fashion statement - and not the good kind. ;)
The shoes are adorable - you should totally keep them! I like the idea of the pop of color with jeans...brilliant! I'm not loving the purse, though I am loving that it sort of matches the shoes. Maybe you should post a picture of you wearing the shoes and holding the purse to see it as a complete outfit? Then we could vote yay or nay. ;) Provided the shoes don't make your feet bleed, of course. :)
All those crazy ladies together in 8 days - California's not going to know what hit 'em. ;)
Scramble Brainy Friends, Dandelion Volcano, Obsessive Song Search… The Usual Mishmash
Not a big fan of dresses myself, but that one is great for you! I'm not sure CA is ready for you gals!
Yes, I have perfected the art of dodging the people trying to squirt some dead sea lotion into my hand or talk me into selling them my old gold. It's insane how much they attack you.
The dress is great, looks very good on you. There is no way I can pull off a dress.
Loving the shoes and the purse.
LOVE LOVE LOVE it! That dress is super CUTE on you....Fun colors and style! And I love orange....great shoes and purse!!!
You are sooooooo Gorgeous! Have a GREAT Trip!
LOVE the dress && shoes!! Have a great trip!
Damn it!! You guys and your shopping trips and cute clothes. I'm panicing. What if I don't have time to shop for #HB7? *breathes into paper bag* I was hoping to have some time last weekend, but spent the entire weekend preparing 3 weeks worth of Sunday School lessons and deep cleaning my house. My friend from Canada gets here tomorrow and doesn't leave until Sunday and then we leave first thing Thursday morning. I'm sure work will be a bitch for the next 10 days.
Thanks for the full on panic attack.
The dress is ADORABLE, btw!! Can't wait to see your smokin' ass in it in 10 days!!!!!!
fabulous!! I love all those finds!!! I'm way to short to wear a maxi but you pull it off awesomely!!!
Love love the shoes! And seriously that purse is a perfect match keep it. Love the peek-a-boo shoulder on that dress-hot!
I LOVE the dress! Were you barefoot in the pic? It goes to the floor! It would swallow me whole then. I think the shoes and purse go with it perfectly but as I told you before, as an Oklahoma fan, I shall not wear orange due to that being Oklahoma State's color but I have nothing against other people wearing it!
I absolutely can NOT wait for HB#7 to be here! I hope it doesn't go by too quickly!
I love that are minds think alike for our posts! =)
OMG DO NOT return those shoes!!!!
Honestly, they are to die for and will come in handy even if you don't won't to wear them with that fabulous dress.
Talking about the dress....smoking hot!
You guys sure you can't come visit me as part of your trip? You'll be sooo close. Have an amazing time! I love those shoes, and you're rocking that dress.
We were in the States last week and I took a break from Target stalking to go to the mall and was seriously accosted about every 15 steps. WTH? Leave me alone! If I'm interested, I'll come to you. No, you may NOT ask me a question. Go away! I finally whipped out my cell phone and faked many a phone call. Gah. Totally ruined my mall experience.
I could not pull off the dress (stripes are not my friend) but it looks perfect on you. I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl too, but I'm all about pairing them with a cute scarf and fab shoes. :)
Love the dress. Love the purse. And LOVE the shoes! You need to keep 'em. Even if they do make your feet bleed. ;)
Hope you ladies have a wonderful time together!!
Wow, love the colors of that dress! And I'm a purse snob too in a sense!
I love what you've picked up!!!! Love the dress, the shoes AND the bag. I can't wait to see you!
