Here Is My Loot: A Friday Night Fashion Show


I went to TJ MAXX today to try and find some business attire. That was basically a bust. I left there with a blazer (which I returned only a few hours later) that wasn't really that great and which I didn't like that much, but I was afraid that I wouldn't find one that suited my needs. So then Hannah and I headed to Target to see what would be found there. I found some stuff I liked: 2 amazing blazers. But alas, Tacoma Target didn't have them in my size. So I went to talk to the fitting room woman and she looked in the Lakewood store inventory. No luck. So then she checked the Federal Way inventory. They said they had some in my size of both! So away we went to Federal Way. Mind you, this was around 6 on a Saturday. Major Tom, my GPS routed me to the freeway and after seeing the bumper to bumper traffic not going anywhere, I quickly left the freeway. From there I took us on a back route through Puyallup, some farmlands, and I'm pretty sure we were on the reservation at a few points too. But eventually we made it to Federal Way Target, and when we got inside, I found both of the blazers on the clearance rack, a place they had not been at the Tacoma Target. So I got them for half price. I also purchased some professional looking dresses, a nice sweater, and some black pantyhose (also, all on clearance). The whole shebang was less that $100. I'm feeling pretty good about it. So here is the fashion show. In most of these, you need to imagine that I'm wearing hose (which I'm not because I didn't want to risk a run) and shoes, and that my hair and makeup aren't a hot mess, and that my pants are pressed.
