As far back as I can remember, my family participated in the sport of shopping. As my sister Nina reminded me of tonight, we used to go on family outings to the mall - spend hours shopping and then hit a restaurant with mom and dad (usually a Chinese restaurant if dad had his way!). I remember when we'd go to the Altamonte Mall - north of Orlando - and (at that time) the coolest mall in the area - two stories, four anchor stores - OMG! And, from Kissimmee, at least a 45+ minute drive. (but considering we used to drive to Tampa - 1 1/2 hours away - a much shorter distance). Nina remembered a trip that we went to Casual Corner and whipped through outfit after outfit. Dad carried the packages to the car and continued our conquest!
Fond memories, indeed. And even at an early age, I was a fashionista. Helping my sisters put together outfits and coordinating what they wore - telling them what to buy and what not to buy. I wrote on the back of one of my school pictures to my sister, "from your fashion advisor Stacey." Yes, I loved doing that!
And I still do. And I can - just with what I have in my closet right now! I can continue to find new outfits with what I have - no need for new, that's for sure!
