Dana and I are going to escape to Las Vegas next week, just the two of us. We are going to spend some time in my favorite fun place on earth, and man I can hardly wait! I need to just get away.
So, in preparation for the trip I am trying to find some new outfits to take with me. Ordinarily that wouldn't be a huge problem. But today, it just wasn't meant to be. All I want is to find a couple pair of shorts. How difficult could it be? I mean, swimsuits have been in the stores for about 3 or 4 weeks, so I should be able to find shorts, right? WRONG.
For starters, who can tell me the difference in Juniors, petite, girls, and misses clothing? Kohls has a different department for each of these sizes of clothing. I dont wear these sizes, but isnt it a bit of overkill??? 4 different departments for size 10 and below?
Anyway, I digress, on with my search. The people at Kohls acted like I was speaking Chinese when I asked them if they had any shorts in womens sizes. Apparently I am expecting way more than they can deliver at this time of year. Of course the mens department had many racks of new summer apparal out, (ie SHORTS!!!!)
I kept searching......Target didnt have them, Lane Bryant didnt have them, and neither did Walmart. I completely struck out. I did find some "knee length" shorts at Target, and when I tried them on they came all the way down below my KNEES!! I am 5'7" with a 34" inseam, and if they dont fit at my knee length, then folks, unless you top 6 feet tall, they wont come to your knees either.
Luckily, I found some tops in Tulsa when we were there (I told you how much I LOVE Tulsa) at Fashion Bug (YAY for Fashion Bug! I wish we had them here). I also bought a new swimsuit, so at least I will have that.
The search is still on.... maybe I should check out the mens dept!! LOLOLOL

Good for you going to Vegas. ANd don't get me started about Kohls sizes. I wrote a whole blog on how aggravated I am.
The snow sucks but thanks for asking. We are buried. We may never see grass again.
We are going to meet up right? Email me if you want to get together. :)
And I would wait until you get here to buy anything since next week our weather takes a dip into the low 60's and rain again. But we have lots of summer clothes out already.
I have never heard of Fashion Bug, but now I will have to check it out. Was it in the mall or a stand alone store? Glad you are able to get away for a little while, enjoy your time there. I bet if you don't find any shorts now, there will be plenty there. And who knows, maybe even already on sale.
Enjoy your time away even if you have to do it in long pants.
aam
A Vegas trip sounds like a good plan...you may just have to wait and get shorts there though, I'm surprised that Target didn't have any but I've been more and more disappointed in their Womens section lately. It seems to get smaller and smaller...or maybe it's just me getting bigger. In any case...the trip sounds fun. j0
Oh! You have touched on one of my pet peeves...real clothes for REAL women! I get so frustrated when trying to find decent clothes. I mean near tears, the options are so limited.
I'd better quit now, before I fly into a rant!
Have a great trip!
