Retail Therapy

It was a good Saturday of being lazy and having a walk around Dongtan. 

 I love these trees - they are this color all year round.

 They really do have umbrellas at intersections.  It is really nice on a hot day - it was really, really hot and melty on Saturday.  Humid as HADES.

It was a great Sunday of shopping with J.  There are some fun finds in Zara... J and I found this gem.

 I had to take a pic for Mom (my ring tone was the Dallas theme for a while).

 The back - at the bottom it says something about 'if you can't go in the front door, try the back.'  We also found a black shirt with the evil queen from Snow White on it - I nearly tried it on but then I decided that a) I am the wicked queen, and b) I didn't want to spend that much on one shirt.

 J promised not to be a bully... but she insisted that I get this skirt.  The shirt, too... J is tiny but mighty!  I like it tho... it brings to mind archaeologist Mandi or something... kinda 'The Mummy'-esque.

 Then I had to get this one - it's so light and flowy and comfy!!  It's probably supposed to be a cover-up or something, but for me it's a dress.  Took a little time to figure out which part was the front and which was the back. 

Then when I got home, I had to try this outfit.  Hehe.

So the damage ended up being: one black shirt, one grey shirt, one dark red (burgundy, wine, whatever you want to call it) shirt, the above skirt (olive?  green?  I suck at this game), and the black dress.  It was a lot of fun seeing how excited J gets at getting me new clothes.  We ended up getting food at an Indian place in Metapolis.  

It's really, really weird to me that I can buy shirts in a medium and certain bottoms in a large (I mean, some things still didn't want to go above the hips cuz... you know... quarter horse shape, but that skirt is a LARGE - not an XL, but a L).  Medium on top I can get - as long as it fits the shoulders.  We did try a couple other stores, but the clothes were more Korean less International.  I am many things, but I am not shaped like an Asian.  Viking all the way!  Hehe.  So I had to wash the clothes when I got home, and hoping that they are all dry by tomorrow cuz I really want to wear the above outfit tomorrow!!  

Anyways, not much else is going on.  Life continues as usual and Netflix has been my good friend this weekend.  It became a BBT and zombie weekend.  Zombieland Double Tap is much fun, and in a few mins I'm going to try The Dead Don't Die.  Netflix is doing this thing where it seems to be trying to get me to watch Merlin as well... I may give that a try.  Also I'm reading the Three Musketeers and that's been fun so far.  Hopefully we'll have the kids in class all week, but we'll have to see what the 'rona has in store for us.  MUAH!  :* much love to all.
