The last two days have been spent shopping. No, not for food. This time we have been shopping for new clothes. Our vacation is coming up and we both need summer clothes that are neat and clean, and don’t look like the usual stuff we wear out to weed the garden.
Yesterday we drove down to “The Big City” and went to “Coldwater Creek”. This is a fine women’s clothing store. I love their stuff, but usually it is so expensive that I look and then don’t buy. Yesterday, however, they were having an end of the season sale and had great buys!
Hubby was with me and he helped me pick out several beautiful outfits, that all, sort of color coordinate, so I can pack less, but have more options.
You know what I love about “Coldwater Creek”? They treat you like a lady. A saleswoman asked my name, got me into a nice dressing room, with my name on the door, got different sizes, when the size I’d picked up were too big. It made me think of Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman”, when she goes out and spends an obscene amount of money on an entire wardrobe of clothes.
The amount I spent wasn’t actually obscene, in fact it was all marked down so much I couldn’t believe it! So I walked out of there with 8 items for a ridiculously reasonable price!!!
Hubby and I took off again today to get him some clothes. Not easy, as he is 6 feet 4 inches tall. But we got him three pairs of pants and a shirt.
Our trips to “The Big City” and to “Outlet Heaven” took place at the peak of foliage season. We really enjoyed the bright colors, and the fact that we actually got to see it before a storm rolls through and takes the leaves down.
As we drove through the country today, it reminded me of why we live here. The unpopulated, vast beauty, of the mountains. Especially in the Autumn!
Close your eyes, gentle readers, and imagine the mountains painted with the bright reds, oranges and yellows, and then touched with coral around the edges.
Ahhh, there is nothing more beautiful!!!
Oh, that sounded like a real treat. It such fun when finding neat clothes to the right prices!
Well, when are we going to see the new outfits? *curious*
I guess you knew I was going to say that hah?
Yes, I really could see the amazing scenery through your eyes now…. Much more beautiful than it is here. I don’t know what it is, but both of us are drawn to mountains and the sea very badly. We really ENJOY it, like you seem to do also. One of lives free pleasures!
Very nice that you found new “feathers” for your trip ! I also have to prepare my summer clothing because on Nov 2 I go to Egypt with two friends. But I only take black and blue Jeans and a lot of tops with me. I reported of the vernissage today and at 10.30 I go back to the Expo for the whole day.
This time of the year is so beautiful everywhere!!. We’re praying this year that we can still eek out at leasaat a week or two of leaves changing. They’re trying but its do damn dry…….
Yes In know it is beautiful where you live, especially at this time of the year. I was out and about yesterday and the trees locally were so very beautiful I was tempted to pull off of the road and take some pictures but didn’t 🙁 So Indiana is also beautiful this time of year 🙂
Loved the picture yesterday of your hubby carrying Shubi in the backpack. It was awesome!
