What's a shopgirl to do
Monday, June 26, 2006
I am no longer a student, coed, or young adult. I am a single adult female. Now will someone tell me where I'm supposed to shop for clothes???
Today I went with my mom to get a new pair of jeans. She agreed to buy me a pair in exchange for not wearing my favorite jeans which have a couple of holes in unfortunate areas that keep reappearing even if she sews them shut.
Our first mistake was going to Town East Mall. That place is the ghetto and has almost exclusively skank stores when it comes to women's or unisex clothing. After a few glances around the avaliable stores inside, we headed to Dilliards. This is where the main dilemma came. Where do I fall? I can't wear Juniors anymore and the Misses section seems too old still. And I couldn't even find a petite section.
Other stores I love like Banana Republic and J. Crew are going to be way too expensive for this cowgirl next year. I guess there is always the GAP, but who wants to be constantly running into people always wearing the same clothes as you. Of course, none of this would be a problem if next year I could easily wear what constitutes half my wardrobe: T-shirts of my alma mater. Sometimes I feel like God is laughing at me. Good one Jesus, good one.

So I wore a dress to a wedding a couple of weeks ago, and another girl was wearing it. That's what I got for shopping at GAP. Maybe hit up the JCrew Outlet? It's pretty sweet.
Thrift stores, girl. Not having to pick them out of 'juniors' or 'misses' leaves you without any emotional stigma of knowing which department they came from, you won't run into anyone else wearing your togs (except maybe you'll meet someone who says, 'hey, that used to be mine'), and you can be free to just pick what you like AND be socially responsible in your reusing. Plus, there are some real gems out there. I can give you a list of where to hit up in Norman.
