Hi guys,
Just thought I pop in to share a bit of sorta happy news, rather than all the downer stuff I've had to post lately.
I am in the process of giving myself a mini makeover at the moment, and it's much fun.
I haven't been clothes shopping for almost a year (except for a special occasion where I bought a dress, and some office clothes for job interviews) and I realised that I have been rotating the same few items of clothing for work every day.
So I went out and spent.. well, too much really!   , on new clothes and it was SO FUN. I had a couple hundred dollars of gift certificates saved up from my birthday and Christmas and stuff, so I went crazy! I got a lot of stuff on sale, but still spend quite a bit -- thank goodness for the gift certificates! I got..
- Pair of "trouser jeans"
- Emerald green sweater
- Beige zip-up sweater
- Black outdoor jacket (my most expensive purchase, but I LOVE IT!)
- Greenish khaki jacket with belt, so cute! I have been looking for a little jacket for ages, but have never been able to find one 'cause of my stupid boobs - so excited
- New yoga pants
- 4 t-shirts (pink, green, blue, and black): good for layering
- Green/Brown sweater shrug - so cute
- Grey'ish top with square scoop neck - very flattering.
- Black knitted hoodie
- WHite tank top with embroidery at the top
It's a lot, but I finally have clothes I can wear every day - I am so happy.
Then I went and got my legs waxed yesterday at a new place and the lady did a WAY better job than my normal lady AND I booked an appointment for the end of the month for laser hair removal for my bikini line 'cause I get really bad ingrowns there and they are having a special (and I am going to Mexico in May!).
And then TODAY I am going to get my haircut with a girl who has done a really good job on my hair in the past, so I am excited.
Yesterday I spent ages packing clothes into boxes and stuff (stuff that I never wear for office work and stuff, stuff that doesn't fit at the moment (too big and too small) and then stuff that it is too cold to wear at the moment) so that I can organize my very limited clothing space better with the new clothes that I actually WILL be wearing.
Will try and post a pic after my haircut, maybe wearing some of my new clothes!
Very exciting.
Cheers!

I hope you aren't teasing me! I would LOVE to do that with you! I love the outlet malls, we used to come over the border for that reason only!
What fun, what fun!

It would be a blast.... there is one in North Bend that I know of....and also Auburn Supermall, I'm not sure what all is there. All the ones that I have been to are in Oregon....so if you want to make it a LONG trip....maybe the four of us can go to the coast... like Lincoln City..... I think we know each other well enough that we could even share a room.... two qweens and split the cost......
we will SHOP...
P.S. Shane LOVES the outlet malls too....

... but when I read your post, I literally clapped my hands! Hee hee.
That would be so fun - I have never been to Oregon and Adrian LOVES road trips.. Just would have to make sure tummy was up for the journey, and that would be kick-butt fantastic!
How exciting!
