MAJOR Shopping

September 27th, 2007

muahahaha. **chuckles maniacally**

I spent so much money tonight. BUT! Most of it was on travel, and ALL of it was a good deal. Except maybe the … oh, you’ll see. For Seattle, I reserved our hotel rooms at the Red Lion on 5th Ave for three nights. It’s not the W, but it’s just as nice, and in the same area. And a lot cheaper! I also booked our flights - $99 a person for each flight! Not bad! I also checked on ticket prices to the Seattle Art Museum - they are having a special exhibition called ‘Japan Envisions the West‘ during the time that we’ll be in town. Only $15 each! Here’s a good part - I bought some tickets to the Seattle Symphony on the 13th. They are having a Mozart night, with pieces from ‘The Magic Flute’ and his popular ‘Requiem’. This is actually what started the shopping spree. I thought, ‘Gee, what am I going to WEAR to a symphony?!‘ Problem Solved, Sherlock.

I bought a dress from Macy’s:

As well a couple of tops from Dillards:

Then I decided to see if there was a necklace or bracelet to go with the dress. Well, I found a good bracelet for it:

And then I found two necklaces. Here is the more conservative - $48 at Dillards:

This one *rapturous sigh*… I don’t know what possessed me to buy it - but it’s so perfectly whimsical! I absolutely adore it. Not to mention, it was on sale for $50. Down from $145. Simple decision.

  2. That bottom necklace is quite the piece. I can’t even figure out how it works, does it have a clasp? What clothing can you wear with it? Post pictures if you find a really good outfit.

  3. I thought it would go with a simple dark, v-necked shirt for a not-so-casual evening out.
