Mall Trip!

I had a day off from work today because I had a doctor's appointment (Spoiler Alert: I cried the whole time there; I do not have not many good memories of going to the doctor.) When I came home I was still feeling pretty crummy, and more importantly, tired. So after a two hour nap, I was feeling a little better, but soon realized half of my day off was already over. I needed retail therapy, fast, and I had a $25 gift card my aunt had given me for my birthday, so I decided, why not go to the mall?

Now recently, I haven't been too crazy about going to the mall. Since going to school in the city, I've been spoiled with the opportunity to go to these amazing stores, where the clothes were cheaper, and you can more easily buy something that somebody else won't have (which is a really big deal in fashion school); so you imagine how these days, I'm not particularly wowwed by any of the items they sell at the mall, aside from the fact it's all a bunch of hipster shit being bought by a preteens who have their parents tag along so they can buy whatever they want. But considering there's not much else to do in my part of Jersey, I gave in; and I was pleasantly surprised! Nordstrom was having their anniversary sale -which a couple years ago, used to be a calendar worthy of mine and my mother's- and found a really cute bag for only $9! Plus, I also fell in love with a crop top that had reminded of a The Soft Moon album. In all honesty though, one of the best finds today was this black and white striped pinafore dress from Forever 21. Now, I know I would be shunned by my FIT peers for shopping at F21, and the store does certainly fall under that "hipster shit bought by the parents of whiny children" category, but I was considering buying a dress like this on eBay anyway, and it was actually cheaper and more convenient for me to buy it at the store. The other two were finds I just liked elsewhere.

I was relatively pleased by how the latter half of my day off went. Now I never want to go back to work.
