That's why there's a Starbuck's in every mall here - you gotta stop and refuel in order to keep going! Good job Kirti!

Thanks Shannon! And yeah, I could have used a cup of coffee at the end of it! Luckily, I had hubby with me and he was really cheerful about going from store to store (and rack to rack) looking for the stuff I'd tried on.

It really is, isn't it? Often I buy things I'm not sure about and then I have to drive a long way back to return them. If I don't buy them and wish I had, I have to drive a long way back to get them. I usually carve out some time Tuesday mornings to do a bit of shopping on my way to work, but today I had to use all of my shopping time to do returns. So sad. It IS work, but it's fun work when everything turns out well. I hope your bird print top hunt has a happy ending, and I can't wait to see your new items styled!

Bummer about the bird blouse. It is hard work, isn't it?

I feel you! I was at H&M yesterday evening and i tried on...7 pieces? And walked out with 1 top. Their sizing was all over the place worse than usual. I needed a 10 in one pair of pants and a 6 in another - both from the Divided line. They didn't have either. Guess it wasn't meant to be!

I hear you, Kirti. I tried on 15 pairs of jeans today -- in 3 stores. None fit. Even Gap jeans. Not even when I sized up, sized down, So, I'll be posting pictures of none PPL jeans for awhile. Ah well, I'm sure I'll receive YLF mercy! Can't wait to see your finds!

I feel your pain! I have a very tough time finding things I like on myself. It gets pretty discouraging but I am trying to just be patient and only buy what I really like and what flatters me, oh....and that I actually NEED. Trying to keep that closet "lean and mean".

Meredith, this is now my motto! ''lean and mean''
I'm also trying really hard to buy what I need, like and looks good on me, it isn't always easy though!

I've spent plently of days in a mall only doing returns or shopping for something specific and finding nothing. It can get frustrating but when I do find a gem, it's worth it!
