Day 81
Sweatshirt Redeux
When you are a full-out, all-in shopper, the world is your
mall. You can go almost anywhere and find something to buy. Even clothes. I
have a sixth sense for clothes for sale. I have a seventh sense for bargain
clothes for sale.
My sixth and seventh senses kick in anywhere, including my
favorite grocery store, Kroger. Yes, I have bought clothes from Kroger. Case in
point: I have two sweatshirts, one black, one grey. Plain, long-sleeved,
hoodless sweatshirts. They were on clearance at Kroger. I do not know why
Kroger sells sweatshirts except to boost total sales by people like me. (I can
picture the Kroger executives saying, “Honest! There are crazy ladies that come
in a buy clothes! They’ll buy anything!”)
I thought I was being very clever to purchase unadorned,
basic sweatshirts. Problem was they never really fit right. They are wide in
the middle with wonky, ill-fitting sleeves that don’t even push up. I was about
to banish them to yet another Salvation Army bag when I had a nostalgic,
Flashdance Flashback. I ran upstairs, grabbed my good scissors and went to
work!
To follow-up on the Ugly Dress story: I finally found the
second of the 2-for-$50 dresses. It isn’t AS ugly but still ugly. I should
never have bought either one.
A final note: Happy Graduation Day Claire! You are
AWESOME!!!
