Indi the Shopper.
After buying the fabulous lighter and remembering how awful it was to sweep snow & scrape ice off a car was, well, I needed to work on a bit more style again. I woke up with a mission: Leather gloves & a scarf, if nothing else. After primping I ventured off to Hagerstown to the Outlets, I figured out of all of those stores I should be able to find something worthwhile.
I stopped at Wilson’s, figuring since they’re a leather store I’d be able to find a decent pair of gloves… Ha! Everything they had was crap, total and utter crap. I stopped up at Banana Republic, a bit leary of Matthew being there, thankfully I didn’t see him, otherwise, well, there would have been a scene with much bitch slapping. I did find a decent scarf, pair of fabric gloves and a little hat. The scarf is actually very nice, but I still wanted leather gloves so I went just about everywhere. I really would have thought that Brook’s Brothers would have had good gloves, but they only had the same shit that Wilson’s had… only three times more expensive. Finally, after being quite near the point of giving up, I stopped at the London Fog store… with only a bit of hope left I found near perfect gloves. Finally leather that was stiched properly! They were lined with this sort of gray furry material, but I could live with that. So, yay, mission accomplished!
I also received in the mail, out of one of the magazines we get, a 20% off coupon for BB&B, so I decided I would just go ahead and get my Sango dinnerware I’d been wanting too. Now I have a fullset, plus the espresso cups and onion soup bowls, not much else needs to be purchased apart from other random completer pieces. I also picked up this Yankee Candle (boo-hiss) potpourri, it’s rather amazing; apparently Patrick’s company prints the labels, hehe.
Since no trip to that area of town would be complete without a stop at Pier1 I also bought a tin of Asian Spice incense, shrugging off the fact that it is the kind that Davey likes, a leaf shaped burning tray, and a candle snuffer.
Needless to say, I had a rather successful little trip of it. I’m totally styling now, haha.
