Not really. I feel bad for the people who died, I just couldn't help writing that. I actually spent the day looking for an interview suit for an interview I don't have yet. Foley's advertised women's suits for $70. I dragged Tom there and didn't see shit. Well, I take that back - all I saw was shit. Outfits old ladies would wear. Or Red. I was looking for business-y navy or black. Nope. Go figure. Made Tom go to Lane Bryant - nope, nothing there either. At that point I got depressed. I *hate* the mall and the fact that I had to go to 2 stores & couldn't find anything irritated me.
Called Kendra when I got home & asked her to go find something with me. Drove my ass to *PLANO* which took me an hour. Dress Barn - old lady clothes or non-interview worthy attire & they are *expensive*. TJ Maxx? Hahaha - try to find something over size 14 there and most likely it's the fugliest thing you ever saw. I did find a Liz Claiborne zip up sweatshirt, but that's not what I was on a mission for, so I left it there.
Went to Burlington Coat Factory and after bitching that the Women's section has about 7 things in it while the normal-people sized section has 10,007 things, I found it. Not what I was expecting, but a really dark green (almost black) blazer & long skirt for $40!!!! Now when I try clothes on, I hate to look at myself in the mirror. I always expect to see a skinny person (don't ask me why- I've been fat for like 8 years) and when I don't, I automatically don't like the clothes. So I tried to look past that & this suit is pretty decent. It should make a good first impression.
After that we went to Nordstrom Rack and I found earrings, a necklace & a super cute/business-like Nine West watch. Total damage there? $50.
All in all, not too shabby. Pray I have somewhere to wear all this stupid shit to otherwise I'll be *MAD*. :)
