First stop: Target. Where I bought myself some PJs. Here's a picture of the new nightgown I bought:
I realize this looks a little boring and old lady-ish. I think it looks pretty nice on, though, and it feels really smooth and soft. It's made of a fabric that I had to look up: Modal. Turns out modal is make from beech trees:
Amazing!
I also shopped at Gordmans (2 t-shirt-y tops) and then I dropped the big bucks at J. Jill. I had forgotten how it is to have sales women who actually give you good advice, bring you stuff in the dressing room, and know what they are talking about. I was even shown the new shirts not yet out on the floor, and I bought one! I spent what felt like a ridiculous amount of money on 2 shirts and 2 pairs of pants. But it made me really happy!!! That's because here is where I usually buy clothes:
Don't get me wrong, finding a great deal at GW makes me happy too. But not this happy.
Just to assuage my guilt lurking in the wings, I walked through Von Maur. One pair of pants I stopped to look at there cost more than all that I bought at J. Jill. So I felt really really really happy then! Guilt left by the side door and has not been around since!

Way to go, Shopping Girl! I completely relate, plus it feels like you are writing about old relatives. Richman Gordman started in Omaha, and its glory years were when I was living in Omaha before the bankruptcy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordmans. What a thrill it was to go shopping by myself when my kids were tiny.
I like to think of you wearing a beech tree! Very nature-rific!
I think you deserve every cent you spent on yourself and probably a LOT more. Good for you.
Sounded like a good idea. Myself I prefer a new pair of fadded holey rock veat jeans. But you can understand that.
I splurge about once a year on a couple of new things at Talbot's for school. I feel a little guilty, but then, buying good stuff at a nice store is a very pleasant experience! Also, in my very humble opinion, if I had an adorable figure such as yours, I would spend FAR more money having fun buying cute clothes!! So, you go, girl!
