Romper Stomper

The lack of posting this past weekend by no means indicates a lack of productivity or blog-related activity - mainly, I'm referring to shopping. Many other activities were had, but what I am most excited about are the insanely wicked sale items I encountered this weekend...which is pretty telling, considering I boated, drank, ate delicious food and generally did things that most 'normal' people would consider a great deal more awesome than finding a $4 romper in Old Navy's children's section. But I suppose this is merely an inescapable fact about the kind of person I am.

As per my excitement about the things I bought that I am veritable lust with (Who knows if it is love yet? Only time will tell), I am going to share a brief run-down of my consumerist experiences in an extended post which, in my opinion, more than makes up for my bad blogging ways:

1. Spring: To be perfectly honest, the majority of Spring's shoes are atrocious garbage that one might encounter in a really gross suburban Wal-Mart. But fate was on my side on Saturday morning, when one particular pair of lascivious tan wooden platform sandals caught my eye before I even noticed that they were marked down to $10. Even if I had hated them I probably would have bought them but, thanks to whatever universal power that was looking out for my best sartorial interests at the time, it was love at first sight and they have pretty much not left my feet since. Which, according to my mother, is pretty stupid and vain when I'm on a mossy, rocky and wet patch of lakefront property, but whatever.

2. Old Navy (Kid's): Thanks for your 'helpfulness' nosy Old Navy employees, but no, I do not require a gift receipt for my $9 worth of purchases! The aforementioned romper and the grey graphic printed t-shirt are for moi...because yes, I am a Large/Extra-Large child, which come to think of it actually sums up a lot about my existence on many levels. Regardless, the absolute perfection of the romper can quite honestly be blamed for the lack of outfit posts for the past couple of days: "Me in the Romper on a VIA train", "Me in the Romper on a Boat", "Me in the Romper Getting Stupidly Inebriated on a Boat", "Me in the Romper on a VIA train home"...yeah, you get the point. Any outfit posts would have been insufferably redundant, as I am certain the word 'romper' is coming to be throughout this diatribe of mine.
3. Goodwill: This place is leading me believe that I have guardian angel of fashion who resides in specific rack of the St. Clair & Bathurst Goodwill - which is kind of ironic, because there's totally a Salvation Army a block away where I rarely and/or never find anything awesome, and aren't they supposed to be the religiously-affiliated organization? Anyways, my posse and I trekked up here, as is becoming the Sunday ritual, and while it was not as fruitful a trip as last week for me, everyone came away with some enviable thrift scores which I am not going to disclose just yet, because to let the cat out of the bag too early would totally make some of the upcoming daily outfit posts less mysterious and exciting, y'know?

4. Joe: What a horribly misleading place Joe Fresh of the Great Canadian Superstore is. Little did we know how quickly "This is the best store in the entire universe ever" would turn into "Nothing has EVER looked this horrible on me in my life"/"I never want to try any clothing on again". Please do not be fooled as we were by Joe's seemingly harmless trendy-classic garments and awesomely low prices, dear readers, as to try anything on will only make you upset when you realize how awful looking you could potentially be if you were somehow forced into wearing a dress from Joe.

5. ???? (Chinatown): No, the shop was not a pretentious indie band named "????", I just have no idea what is was actually called. 9 solidly coloured, thin cotton tank tops for $7. That is all.
