Kohl's Trip +Plus

Last week I promised Brak (my bestie) that I would go with her to Kohl's today. She wanted to find some tank tops, flowing skirts and generally some light summer clothes. I need light summer clothes, too. I just forgot how exhausting shopping is when the only things that look right are way overpriced. We did have fun, though. Trying on multiples of things we intended to buy and, just for fun, trying on some things we couldn't actually afford. I'm super pissed at myself because I didn't get a picture of the $60 dress that looked really cute on me. It had a grey bust and long black skirt, and the bust part actually came below my bust! *dies* So it didn't look awkward at all and looked better on me than the mannequin. :( Shoulda got a picture. As it is I got a picture of this dress that looked cute on the mannequin, but ultimately shapeless and unflattering on me:



And myself in an ill-fitting Vera Wang top that I really wanted (until I saw how badly it fit) and these hooker shorts that we had to try on. They were in the junior's section, but they're super short, have stars all along the crotch and are pre-indented with a zippo outline in the back pocket. WHAT?! If I had a teenage daughter she would never wear these. I would never wear these, but we had to try them on.



Uhm... no. They were more comfortable than I expected, but if I'm going to be walking in shorts, they absolutely must come below my thigh-bulge. >_< Otherwise they ride up.... sweating... *ugh* Just no. I did pick up a nice Daisy Fuentes dress that was on sale 50% off which I will be wearing Friday so I'll get a pic then. Hopefully my hair will be ultra-red if I can convince Aaron to help me with this:



I wasn't terribly impressed with their dark blue, but the aqua and pink ones worked really well. This was also on sale at HEB with a $2 coupon, so I couldn't pass it up. I want crazy red damnit! Work with me... dang... LOL

She didn't find any tank tops she liked, and we couldn't find the long, flowy, hippie-skirts even though the internet said "available in store!", but she did get this super cute, green, "cupcake" dress:



She said she looks like a cupcake in it. I'll grant she does look mighty tasty; I think it's adorable. :D Green is definitely her color.

I did do something nice for myself. Well, nice if I can keep myself in check. Still no soda, but my sweet tooth revolted so I picked up some Twizzler bites since they were on sale at Walgreens. 17 pieces = 140 calories, no fat. Empty calories, sure, but still a far cry better than soda. Cutting down on my salt and doing random exercises through the day. I know, I know, would be better to do them all at once with some kind of structure, but... I'm just not that kind of gal. lol And anything is better than nothing at all. Need to start putting my sister's weight bench to work while I'm outside doing nail pics... Yes, I have pics, but I'm also exhausted and don't feel like doing anything different for tomorrow. So dots are tomorrow! Then I can do a normal fun, summer swatch for bbq on Friday. I'm thinking orange. Hope everyone is having a great week so far! I can't believe it's almost over... lol
