So, Saturday was interesting. A quick toss of cares aside, I decided it was time to get away from my college look and try something different. And so, the days of shopping began. The rules were simple.

1) You, the female companion who genuinely wants what is best for me, can drag me into any store(s) of your choosing.

2) Once in a store, you are free to hand me any article of clothing and make demands such as "Try this on" or "Hold this please".

3) Once things have been tried on to your liking, you may then make such decisions such as "you should buy this" or "yes, get that". To these requests, as long as 1 and 2 are followed, I will comply.

The end result of this venture was a lot of new clothes. I repeated this process on two days with two different groups (in order to get a good diverse second opinion). The results of the shopping were good: 2 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of shorts, 6 undershirts, 3 overshirts, 2 belts, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 pair of pajama pants, and a good deal of confidence.

One of the outfits is up on flickr:

I actually pulled out a black stretchy shirt from college I originally got for a nightclub. Now, it's just standard attire, go me. Unfortunately, the jeans lack really good pockets, so I'm carrying a messenger bag now. Fortunately, the bag is pretty cool and it lets me keep a bunch of small things with me at all times. It also lets me take my camera with me everywhere. You never know when you'll want a good picture.
