For all of those who know me or follow my blog know how much I love shopping. There is nothing better than when you walk into a store and find that perfect piece that just makes an outfit. It’s like heaven. You walk in, you find the one, then it’s gift wrapped in tissue paper for you; it’s basically a present to yourself. Is there anything better than that? (If your answer is anything other than of course not I don’t get it….)
Well, on the opposite end of the spectrum is my Mama Bear. She HATES shopping. Since her heart surgery she has lost weight and her clothes have become too big. (I know right? Way to go Mom. I’m super proud of her. She had heart surgery and turned a bad situation into a positive.)
She and I have been slowly looking at clothes that’ll work best for her. She wants something that will look amazing on her which I completely get. On the weekends I am home ( presumably because after the pAssing of the Bar Exam and her birthday she was in a great space ready to do this.) She l and I went to the outlets to look at more clothes for her. (She needs an outfit for my swearing in ceremony.)
We went into The Loft and found these cute quarter length sleeve dresses that are tighten on top and flow out on the bottom. Mom agreed to try them on and like a light shined from the heavens it fit her perfectly, she liked it and the best part it was 60% off! (Can I get a hell yeah?) It’s a really cute black dress (we also got a wine colored dress with flowers too). Then we found this amazing black and grey vest that really worked with her dress. It dresses it up and makes the outfit look spectacular. (I love that this dress can be dressed up or down its perfect for fall and winter!)
I must admit my anti shopping Mom really stepped up to the plate and hit a home run with her shopping experience. Plus we were able to go into Lindt and get coffees with a chocolate truffle in them! (She has mint, whereas I had salted caramel.) It was a really productive and fun trip!
