So I did the run, went to lunch, and then when I'd just gotten back to the dorm a group of kids was walking to the Stanford Mall. So I yelled at them to wait for me, got my wallet, and went with.

It was a pretty cool trip -- I think everyone got something they really liked. Everything I got was ridiculously on sale.

At GAP, I got a lime green polo shirt, and a really pretty white sundress that's kinda lacy around the hem. I was content with myself, because I actually got a dress that I would wear.

And then we went to Express and I saw it: the Dress of the Gods. It was just that pretty. Rumpled brown satin, uneven hem, spaghetti strapped, tight in all the right places, moderately low neckline but comfortable looking.

And also $50.

But my friends convinced me to try it on...and it really was the Dress of the Gods. It fit just as well as it looked like it would--it maybe even fit better than it looked like it would. But it was still $50, and I don't spend money all that much; it's not something I'm comfortable with. However, I called Mom and she talked me into getting it. So did all my friends.

Turns out, when the cashier rang it up, that it was down to $20. The initial price had been $80. That was the most amazing shopping moment I have had in a long time.

Then we went to a few other stores and I helped my friends find cool clothes--I didn't want to exhaust my luck. But I think I'm taking another trip to the shopping center next weekend...

All in all I had a good time, but now I have to write the ending of my story... Wish me luck!

The wish for luck must've worked, because I finished the first draft about an hour ago. It's not gorgeous, but there are definitely a few sections I'm really proud of.

Hope you're having a fun summer!

I actually squealed out loud "You're so cute!!!" ...and then realized no one was here but my dog.
