I Love to Shop - Two Skirts

 


Tuesday was a rainy / stormy afternoon. What better to do than go to the mall.  I had a $20 coupon that needed some love.  My Talbots store was almost empty and I had a good fun talk with the manager. I had worked with her before. I worked at Talbots about three months.  

I love there merchandise. Although without sales and markdowns there clothing has become almost un-justifiable. The skirts above were $89 and $99 each. There was a buy-one-get-half-off going and I had the $20 coupon. Still I am going back-and-forth with buyers remorse.  I will give it a day or so. 

Still they are beautiful casual / dress skirts and the scoop neck top I already have. The gingham item is a skort and a lot longer on me than the on-line model's photo. The fit size 8 are a vanity sizing. 

Still the fun was trying them both and  taking selfies in their full-length mirror. Being able to do this would have been just fantasy in my early CD years. Now pure, live fun.
