Shopping Shenanigans

One of my favorite things to do with my cousin used to be going shopping. We were both in school and working at Mervyn's part time, which meant we were both pretty much broke all of the time. Neither one of us could afford to go on a spontaneous shopping spree.

Keeping that in mind, sometimes as a way to relieve stress, we would go to somewhere like Macy's, pick out all the ugliest dresses we could find, get dressing rooms right across from each other, and point and laugh at one another.

I'm telling you, fun times. I practically peed myself on numerous occasions:

Big blue bow
Coral crinkly goodness

Orange sherbet ruffly awesomeness

Oddly enough, some of the things that looked TERRIBLE on the rack, and that I would have NEVER chosen, wound up looking a lot better on. Fun AND a learning experience!

We used to have fun in the other stores too:

one can never pass up a good "that's what she said" moment

We figured it would be interesting to see what she did if someone pressed her.


Later, I sucked other friends into it




Fun times for poor people

Take a man's opinion, those dresses doesn't look bad on you. Makes you look younger than 25 though.

ok two things

1) we gotta go do that again. They'll start having the reject holiday dresses left on the clearance rack soon, and ...
2) Why did I not know that there was a sticker on my back until right now?? harsh

Only I think you were probably more fun. She had a hard time trying to find the UGLY dresses. LOL.
