Today I was determined to buy some new clothes. I went to the Burlington Mall (always a mistake). I spent, probably, about 3 to 4 hours there, and came away with only a pair of leggings and an utterly demolished morale. Note, I don't even have anything to wear the leggings with. They just looked like a great pair of leggings, so I hoped to find something they would go with. You can't just wear leggings if you have nothing that goes with leggings. There was one dress on a sale rack at Macy's that I liked (not that it would have gone with the leggings, but I liked it on its own merits) but it was most definitely the wrong size.

So, I adore clothes shopping. It really is one of my favorite activities. If you ever want company to go shopping with. I'm usually damn good at helping people find stuff.

I'm sorry you had a rough time of it today. :(

It probably doesn't help that petite sizes are getting harder to find.

I've had luck recently at J Jill (my guess is that you're an XS-petite there), and Lord and Taylor for dressier things. And I'm still a proponent of online shopping; it's worth finding a place that makes things that fit you right. (Eddie Bauer, Blakeley or Curvy cut pants for me.)

PS can I tempt you? Eddie Bauer is having a very good sale this weekend on pants (and some other stuff including some pretty sweaters), plus free shipping and returns.

For reference, I wear an 8P in their curvy cut. My guess is that you're a size smaller, but not sure which cut would fit you... But with free returns, go to town, order pants in all their cuts, figure out what fits you.

I have a client with an awesome wardrobe, which I was admiring, and she told me that she had hired a wardrobe consultant to go shopping with her. Want the info?

Gah. Frustrating. Sorry to hear about this.

I also avoid the mall unless I have a carefully pre-planned strike organized. There's a cool tapas place in there now, however.
