New H&M Dress & Shopping Rambling
Monday, April 25th, 2011 | 63 Comments 
It’s been a while since I’ve rambled on and on 
about, well, lots of things. But since I’m PMSing a bit, today is just as good as any day!! 
This weekend I got some shopping in as planned. 
Tried on more than I bought. Found a KEY ITEM 
I’m gonna wear into the ground!! 
It’s a maxi dress I’ve wanted since last summer.
Was at H&M holding up all sorts of pretty maxi dresses while Mike laughed as even the smallest sizes on me dragged about 6+ inches of fabric on the floor. 
I then pouted as I grabbed a blue border version to hold up to myself knowing it too would be too long. But then Mike stopped me, “Hey! This one might actually work!” sure enough it wasn’t dragging on the ground! 
AND it was the one I wanted most. LUCKY LUCKY!
I just kept saying. This is so Yukako. But I had to show Mike what I meant by that hahagagag! 
I tried on this other tank that I didn’t get but now I want to go back and get it. 
I hope to god I can find it in my size at my local H&M because I refuse to drive out to Tyson’s on a weekday. 
Why do I do this to myself gaaaah. I just realized the top will match some ‘hard to match’ shorts I have for the dead of summer heat. 
Buying new spring/summer clothes is bittersweet. I really liked my winter wardrobe this year. 
But going into spring I seem to want less monotone and want more flesh tone and frills. Sometimes I think to myself, “where am I going with this?” I’m trying to keep myself on track as to avoid wasting $ on clothes hardly worn or hard to match. 
Also something that has a flexible style so that it can fit into a couple of different ‘looks.’ 
I’m forever growing. And I get bored. I change. My aesthetic changes. My outlook changes. I need items that can keep up. 
I need something I can feel myself in any day of the week. I need a wardrobe built around key pieces. 
Pieces I’ll keep throughout seasons and just change a few items around them. Less wasteful! 
I started that last year and I am happy 
with some summer buys I made. Like most shorts I bought last summer! YES! perfect. I can work them so many ways and I don’t need any more shorts for summer this year.
I noticed there’s a difference in my train of thought when I see an item while shopping. There’s the usual “I could make this work and it’s on sale” thought.
And the more important, “How have I lived my life without this?!?!” train of thought.
I’m trying to ONLY PURCHASE the latter.
A third type does creep up. Like with the tank. The “looks ok and this would work for multiple pieces easily” thought. That’s the type I’m struggling with now. Usually I don’t buy it and then regret that. Mmmm.
Prattling on so much about clothes is a shallow maybe. 
But things lately have been getting better. 
Since the government shutdown scare is over I can actually focus on work better and enjoy it again. And at home I’m getting more projects done than before which is satisfying. 
Also I feel better. I was having a hard time with digestion weeks ago then the whole allergies thing keeping me from wearing my daily contacts. 
Actually so much had been miserable until recently. 
So I want to enjoy this while it lasts.
Blogging more often is nice too. I get to reflect more on things that make me happy or are going on etc.
Don’t get me wrong, things aren’t perfect. Work is still challenging, things go wrong, people I love still have struggles. But I do have this sense of being on the other side of all the worry I’ve had lately.
Anyway.
There’s a nice MONDAY type of entry lol 
Now onto avoiding eating all my Easter chocolate at once…
