Today when I went in there I asked when they were going to get some actual stock as they had almost nothing at Bayshore.

And then I definitely go through the stages of, "did I really need this", "will I actually wear this", "what was I thinking", etc. And I STILL have to go out and find what I originally was looking for! Shopaholic at its worst I am. There is no better "high" than the high of finding that perfect something. <br /><br />Loved this!beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15616867595961283505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-36538415688757469152009-09-29T09:16:59.125-04:002009-09-29T09:16:59.125-04:00No, the reason the size 4 and 2 are still there is...No, the reason the size 4 and 2 are still there is because not very many people ARE that size and the two people that are haven't shopped there yet!

Maybe they don't look good on a person who is a size 0-4 (although I know that EVERYTHING looks good on a person of that size). When you are on the hunt for something, you NEVER find it. You have to just forget about it, and then when you are over your need for the item, you will see them in every store you go into. You should try Nordstrom. In their POV department, they have a brand called "semantiks" and it's their house brand that fits pretty well and is at a reasonable price. I am sure they have the pants you are looking for.Gema McAlisterhttp://fashioncentsformom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7231649446485548787.post-16370097002295418482009-09-28T21:38:28.026-04:002009-09-28T21:38:28.026-04:00OMG this was hilarious!
