There is shopping 45 minutes away. We went there on Saturday and I got a pair of jean shorts. I'd been looking for jean shorts for awhile, and I found these at Marshall's for $17. We'll call that a win.
It's hot.
Shorts: Marshall's (Express) // Shirt: AE // Flip-flops: Loft
After Marshall's, Target, Petco (we went a little nuts), and lunch, we went to the outlets that were right down the street.
The Gap and Loft were a bust. I'm convinced JCrew had items marked-up so they could say everything was 40% off. I'm having a hard time justifying clothing purchases, because there's really not much I need (aside from these jean shorts, obviously).
Since I'm a fast-walker, while Scott went to the Saucony outlet, I made my way to every store I needed to hit up in an hour. It's odd: I've had nothing but limited, time-lined shopping opportunities in the last few years. I've gotten really good at speed shopping, which is absolutely why slow-walkers bug me, I'm sure.
I was pretty sweaty when all was said and done (95* and humid) so I walked back to the truck with my hair in my hand. A common occurrence when I go out these days.
Scott did "take me" to Target, but what was I gonna do? Make him stand there for 45-60 minutes while I combed through all the clearance? That just seems kind of cruel, you know? I'll go back on my own.
Even though it's really hot here, I still have to wear a sweater of some sort to the grocery store because they really over-air-condition those places.
But there's still people walking around in pants, so a sweater actually doesn't look that out of place.
