Work clothes.

Eek. I didn't think finding hijab-worthy work clothes would be so hard... But it is. Particularly skirts. I want a long black skirt (the "crinkly hippie style" that I've seen quite a few girls wearing over the summer). It would match any of the nice dressy shirts that I have. Problem is, I can't seem to find one anywhere. I guess it's because that's a summer thing and stores are stocking winter clothes now. *sigh*
Yes, they have lots of long-sleeved stuff, but most of it is WAY too tight-fitting for comfort. Or too sheer. What is the point of making something long if you make it tight and the fabric is so thin that it will not keep you warm? I guess you're supposed to layer it?

I hate shopping for clothes. I think I was absent the day they handed out that gene to all the other girls. : P

Super cute new outfit!

Hi, everyone! Hope you're all doing well. I just wanted to tell you guys that I found the CUTEST long sleeved top/long flared skirt outfit yesterday at Ross while shopping for job interview-type clothes. It took me going to four different stores before I finally found it in my size. I'll be posting a photo soon, hopefully, so tell me what you think when I do!

I'm seriously excited about this outfit. (Which is weird, since I usually hate shopping for clothes.)

I also found some cute sling-back heels that aren't TOO tall, and picked up a couple of nice scarves for $6 and $7 each. The first is a more "subdued" shade of pink, and the second has a semi-floral design with some shiny silver threads woven in.

And I found some wide-leg pants (one pair is bright pink!) on the clearance racks, too. I love the clearance racks... the only problem here is that, in a store like Ross, you'll only find the good stuff in teensy-weensy sizes. This city is on the list of the fattest cities in America --- yikes! --- so anything from a 12 (not that 12 is fat, by any means) on up is gone in no time. *sigh*
