august break: milady likes to shop

skirt: asos / skirt: talbots / belt: asos (all sale items! score!)

been a little shopping crazy these past months. i wanted to get a head start on convention shopping.

back in the day, convention shopping was a huge family event. conventions were in june/july, so we would start looking for clothes and shoes in april. this entailed loooong shopping days in different parts of the state. fun.

in 2006, my mom went to Germany for a week and left the convention shopping up to my dad (which was awesome because we pretty much got whatever we wanted). that's when it became less of an event and more of hassle. my mother no longer enjoyed convention shopping. we started going to stores closer to home. my aunt, cousins and grandmother no longer tagged along. then after my sister and i got our licenses,  she stopped coming all-together. this is starting to sound like some sort of dramatic saga, but it's not that big of a deal…really.

now the majority of my convention shopping is done via the internet. i'm not complaining though. i hate malls. right now i'm still looking for tops and unfortunately, the green skirt is too big (yay weight watchers that i stopped three months ago!) so i ordered a cream colored replacement in a smaller size.
