I HATE shopping and I REALLY HATE shopping for clothes with my kids. I had no good excuse not to participate in the retched exercise this week since school has started and the little rats have to have school clothes. For some reason the school frowns up the summer get up of swim suits, shorts, tank tops and flip flops. WTF people, you are expecting WAY to much of me!
To get ready for this torturous outing I had to prepare my self, which called for a stop at:
They make coffee for a reason folks! It’s so that parents can not killhandle being around teenagers! I had a pretty good plan though. I warned my kid before even leaving the house this is how her face needed to look during the entire trip, or it would end very quickly and very badly and lots of tears and screaming would be involved, plus they would be pissed too.
Oddly enough, the shopping devils angels were smiling upon this fateful day. We actually found some cute clothes, that we could both agree on, and we got some kick ass deals ta boot! Tal just had to have the “skinny” jeans, which is fine because she is sickeningly skinny to begin with. Of course, she want’s to hear nothing about how these jeans were popular when I was in school, but we called them “pegged leg” jeans. Pisses me off they actually manufacture them this way now…we had to buy our own 501 jeans and sew the peg leg ourselves. She got two pairs of EXTREME slim leg pants for just $7 each. What a bargain, gotta love the clearance rack at TJ MAXX!
The photo does not even do justice to how tight these are. Pretty funny to watch her try to shimmy into them.
I did get her to try a pair of boot cut to whence I was regaled with, “Oh Mom! those are so hideous!”. Damn! Have to give her points for getting that one right.
To be honest these would probably work great ON A NORMAL SIZE PERSON!! She’s such a shorty.
We also got six shirts, two bras and a pair of shoes. Damage for the day - $66! Hell yes, ’cause I’m good like that! We also shopped at the big sale at Old Navy. I hate to pay retail, what can I say.
