Well, not really, but yesterday I got to spend 2.5 hrs in Macy's without trying to rush, wrangle a little man, and just stare wishfully at all the pretty clothes. My new job has a strict business professional dress-code. Not a big deal, I went to Catholic school so a uniform doesnt bother me. However, I have been staying home with a munchkin/going to grad school etc the last 3 yrs and I'm pretty sure tank tops and jeans wont cut it. So, Mr. F watched Aidan allll day yesterday (he doesnt start full time till next week) and then encouraged me to go shopping after work. It was AWESOME. I tried on so many clothes and hit some great sales. I was super conscious to buy pieces that not only mix and match but could do double duty ex. a cute shirt that works under a suite or with jeans for a date night. When I got home Mr. F even sat through a fashion show. He knows that as repayment he'll get to watch Game 7 tonight uninterrupted :)
I usually hate shopping (thank you post baby body that seems to finally be settling back to normal) and we havent exactly had much money to buy any new things and when we did shop it was for the Little Man or Mr. F since all of his stuff burned in a fire just before we got married. Finally it was my turn! I think the biggest victory was a new pair of decent dress shoes that will look awesome with jeans too...and they are kitten heels so I wont kill myself in heels all day. They were originally $60, but I got them for $20! Hooray! They look something like this without being so obnoxiously gold
Now here is the bad news... the dam has been broken and I am dying to go back for more! I'll just have sit tight for a bit and strategize about what next to buy :)

Haha, I just went and bought comfortable summer shoes (for the first time, um, ever), and when I got home Preston dutifully listened to me explain about and try on every pair. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one putting on a fashion show for her husband!
