Through snow, through sleet…

Okay, so maybe that title hearkens to the postman’s oath, but the big winter storm looming may postpone my trip to the Twin Cities for a shopping spree! I might chance it anyway. *grin*

We’re going to the Mall of America (cliched, I know, but there are some fab stores there) and I can’t wait to get shopping. I want to for sure hit DSW, Ann Taylor Loft, H&M, Nordstrom Rack, and look longingly at Banana Republic. Also, new stores to scope out: Heritage 1981 (Forever 21 spinoff for adults), White House – Black Market, and maybe J.Jill.

The goal? Work apparel! I have no semi-casual pants that are not uber-dressy trousers or casual jeans. That’s right, no chinos, no khakis, no cords (well, not that I wear, anyway). I also need low-heeled office shoes. I only have uncomfy high heels and flats. Well, I lied, I have one pair of brown tweed mid-heeled round toed shoes. And they are much more comfy than my point-toed heels. But I want some kitten heels! Comfy ones! And the pants to go with them. Oh wait. I do have royal blue patterned velvet kitten heels/flats, but they are winterish and not very comfy. Oh! And maybe another blazer, too. A straight-up one. In navy, grey, or brown. I need more day wear.

I also need more camis. I lost my white one, and I need a nude-colored one and possibly another black one to wear under my quasi-see-through button-ups. Maybe a red and/or navy one, too. Or maybe just a couple of each! Perhaps a trip to Old Navy is in order as well? We’ll see.

So yes, I’m very excited to go shopping, though I haven’t much moolah to spare, probably. I can only hope the weather won’t prevent me!

As always, I’m restless for spring. Hopefully the shopping will cure a bit of my spring fever.
