Got home from shopping. Have had a headache all afternoon. I thought I'd solved the headache problem by reducing my prescription. I sure hope this isn't going to be an ongoing thing. Although all the noxious fumes from various plastics at Shoe Pavilion could certainly have made things worse. I bought a pair of fake Crocs (ain't no way I'm paying $30 a pair for cheap plastic shoes) and the fumes from them are so bad I had to put them elsewhere in the house. Oy.
Picked up quite a few things although I will say that the current taste in fashion is in teh shitter. I have a hard time finding anything I like. We picked up long linen shirts in white, black, and lavender for $20 apiece. Got some camisoles with shelf bras, a black lace top with some color accents in the black, a gorgeous full tiered black silk skirt, and some black slacks that actually fit. I also got a formal gown that was of black netting embellished with black bugle beads over a 100% silk sheath. It didn't fit me but it will when I lose weight. And I *will* lose weight. $60 was just too good for a formal gown of silk and bugle beads that actually makes my bust look good. Likewise the silk skirt was just a *wee* bit tight. Actually, since it was marked size 12 I didn't expect it to fit at all. I was trying it on so I could see how feasible it would be to remove the top topmost tiers and substitute a top of double-knit jersey. I had an old Anne Klein skirt that had that and it worked really well. But surprisingly the skirt fit anyway.
Shoe shopping was a bust. When you wear a size 11 in women's, they really don't carry much for you. It's a little better than the days when all you could find were nurse shoes but the current shoe fashions aren't helping me. I hate the moccasin look. Most shoes I see today just look butt ugly to me. I think I'm going to have to save up for something from Amazon Drygoods.
