The economy, at least in King of Prussia, seems to be doing just fine. The mall was bustling with shoppers, and yes, people were carrying many bags, so one can conclude that they were, in fact, shopping. Maybe they'll return stuff later?
The mission I chose to accept was to accompany moomy to Nords so she could return some shoes. I didn't know they were having a sale, but the show department was mobbed, as was the rest of the store. Realizing pretty quickly that we could spend all afternoon just in "Shoes", we left, and went upstairs to see about ruffled shirts. There was one online that Mommy liked, but the one she tried on in the store...not so much.
Fortunately for me, there were no cool colors of big shirts, or skirts, for me to buy. I mean there were really NO skirts.
Back downstairs we went, and that was where the trouble started, in the "Fashion Jewelry" department. I will leave out the gory details of that expedition, and the one in Handbags.
After drooling over the pocketbooks (it's genetic) I wandered over to "Accessories" and immediately spotted the COOLEST green belt. It reminded me of a belt I had back in the Priscilla/Favorites day except mine was wider and a brighter green; this was more lime. But it was great nonetheless. On an adjacent rack I spied a belt I had purchased two months ago, except, alas, it was now on sale. I bought it in yellow and red, and would have bought the blue that day, except I couldn't really justify it.
However, for $33 and double points, I could buy the one blue belt hanging there. It was my size, so I think I was meant to have it.
So I did. I went to the register where the same lovely Australian lady who had sold me the previous two cheerfully rang up my sale and told me how nice I looked in the red one- and then she said that if I still had the receipt, she could give me an adjustment.
How cool is that!
