Shopping Trip

I really hate to shop.  I hate to spend money, I hate to mosey from store to store without a specific purpose (or even with one, come to think of it), and I hate crowds.  Shopping is not for me.  But I do like to be with people, I do like to look nice, and now that my body is 32 lbs lighter, I do need some new stuff.  So I asked some girls at work to take me shopping.  This was the perfect solution because they were picking out stuff and I was enjoying their company.  I was also enjoying being a MEDIUM in many cases instead of a large (or extra large) and being a size 10 in pants. :):):):):)

When Jo Marie commented on my post yesterday asking for a run down of clothes purchased on my shopping trip, I tried my hand at Polyvore. I'm not very good and wasn't able to find the exacts of ANYTHING, but here are the general ideas:

Outfit #1

Outfit #1(ish) by randi-stones featuring a white denim jacket

The white jacket is from GAP (though the one in the picture is from American Eagle because I couldn't find the GAP one).  The tank is from LOFT, but it's not this tank (though I LOVE this tank!).  I searched for the exact one I bought and couldn't find it, so then I just went for colors.  Mine is navy with a teal pattern.  I bought dark jeans from GAP as well.  And I don't even know if you can see the necklace, but it's long and silver with circles.  The one I bought (from Charming Charlie's) has circles in various sizes.

Outfit #2

Outfit #2 by randi-stones featuring a short sleeve polka dot blouse

(Please forgive my poor editing skills.  This is my first time.)  I got a green cardigan very similar to the one pictured from LOFT.  I also purchased a tank blouse in these colors but not quite this pattern.  And, I didn't realize it at the time, but I can pair the tank from the first outfit (which has more navy in it than the one in the shot) with this cardigan as well. I didn't buy the pants, but I have a similar pair of grays that I am going to pair with this.

Outfit #3

Outfit #3 by randi-stones featuring cotton shirts

The cardigan I bought is this cream color but has one design of a large flower outlined in black.  This is the closest I could find.  I am having a little bit of buyer's remorse today because I didn't buy the mustard colored shirt in the picture.  I could have and it looked nice, but I didn't.  So I'll be on the hunt for something similar in the future.  I didn't buy the pants either, but Chelsea gave me a similar pair that would be perfect with this outfit.

I bought a few other shirts that can be interchanged with the above outfits, so overall I am feeling VERY happy with my purchases and excited about the possibility of accessorizing with some more jewelry and maybe even a few pairs of shoes.

Thanks again to Lindsey, Jolie, and Jenny for their help yesterday!
