Money doesn’t grow on trees…

But it certainly seems to slip away like swift-falling rain.

I’m sorry, was that poetical?

At any rate, I’m back from the cities with more books than clothing, alas. I did, however, get a good pair of nice dark jeans, some very cute wide-leg grey dress pants from H&M, and really cute, but sensible work shoes from Naturalizer, very much on sale, of course. They are black suede low wedges with a sort of mary jane/ballet flat thing going on with pewter scalloped trim. Very adorable. They had brown with gold trim and maroon with pinkish trim too, but I thought black would be best. I already have brown work pumps.

The Mall of America was something of a disappointment. Not much available in my size(s) (14-16). It seems that every woman is that size, as the normal stores are out of such sizes, but the plus-size stores carry hardy anything that small. Makes me think someone should make a store like 5-7-9, only make it for women sizes 12-18. With adorable clothes, of course, not matronly ones. Of course, I saw adorable shoes everywhere, but I’m a bit tight on cash, so I didn’t feel like I could spend much. Besides, I have so many shoes that I don’t wear enough already, buying more feels wasteful!

Unfortunately, I think I’m addicted. I thought that once my collection was “complete,” I’d be okay, but of course I’m not. I’m lusting after the closed-toed/pump-like wedges at Target (in blue and/or red). And I still want kitten heeled pointy-toed shoes. Can’t seem to find them anywhere! Except Target, of course, and they’re too tight there. It’s getting a little ridiculous.

*sigh* With all of this snow that’s been dumped on us, I’ve had to resort to wearing nothing but tennis shoes, as they can get good and wet and not matter. Same goes for jeans, dragging through all the snow and the dirty slush. Makes me not want to wait for spring/summer when I can wear casual wedges and canvas flats and cute skirts and capris!

Ah well. It’s March. Spring will come soon enough and then I’ll be panicking about graduation and finishing up my papers and projects and freaking out about finding a job. And by the time it hits 80 degrees this summer (or likely 100) I’ll be wishing for winter snow to come back again.

There’s nothing like a little perspective to give you a wry look at things. *smile*

Off to do research!
