This year I am in the mood for sweaters, and yes they are out there already. I have found a burnt orange Willie Smith that I am dying to buy......$range 25 - 30. Working with a small budget I have to be selective about what to buy......style, wearabality, and something that will not alert people to say D---- she has that burnt thing on again.
And I do need to update my jeans,shoes and slacks wardrobe, I know you are saying to ya
self, OMG she is naked (grin) not yet, but the things I do have are Tired. It is time for a make over, I have my new Hair Do it is time for new cloths .
TTFN ...I am off to touch some hanger, and find at least a pair of jeans, shoes or slacks, wish me luck...the cutely shopper

The wrong SHOES to shop in!
THE shoes not to wear when going shopping: loose fitting slides (bad for the back, hips and stride) boots that are too tight (ugh) and Black leather Pointed-toe sling backs with a 3 inch heel.
Some Fridays...because it is the end of the work week... you do that little extra special dress up, shoes and all. Well I had a Friday such as this, I had on my Gloria Vanderbilt (make my booty look good jeans), my Lavender Swede jacket, a purple long sleeve top, and a pink soft cotton scarf (all weather appropriate). I was a fashion vision (cutely shopper that I am) and to finish off the look I had on a pair of pointed toe 3 inch heels.
As things would have it I was able to leave work early and meet my daughter at Starbucks for a little "R -n- R" , refreshments and a little girl chit chat. We decided to go do some quick shop-looking. My fashion look was still going on, she was just as cutely (smile) and although my shoes had been comfortable during my work day... THEY were starting to be UN-comfortable. We continued to look around and 45 minutes to an hour later, we left our shopping Mecca and went to another location before heading home. And I must tell you, the shoes I was wearing were not meant for an extended day of shop-looking. By the time I got in the car on my way home I had shooting pains in my toes, they were numb. When I arrived home, and took off my shoes I fully expected to see bloody toes... sitting and massaging my toes for a full 15 minutes, the feeling finally came back.
Love the shoes, but will not wear them again to do shopping in, always be prepared, keep a spare pair of flats in the car for next time.

Shopping in the New Year 2010
Happy New Year Fellow Cutely Shoppers.
Don't you just luv the friendliness (it was not sincere) of the in store greeters trying to get you to spend more money. Per what She (store person) said during our brief conversation... when I entered the store she did not remember me from Jane, when I checked out.
2010 a brand new year, to early in the game to become jaded, smile move on.
I have set a goal of $25 to $30 to be spent on shopping mini-sprees, providing I have stored monies in my savings account. I will be checking out fashion trends and things to purchase so as to be ready for that burst of Spring and going into Summer, as well as adding to my already on hand wardrobe. This year I will phase out SOME of my Capri's, yes I said Capris, I like um.
I am a four foot eleven, one hundred seventy-eight pound, sixty-ish Black Woman, cutely Sizes, Styles and Fashions are not that easy to find. I like Standards, Comfort and Chic, I know not a combination One is likely to find in your just run of the mill shopping, so I will have to get creative. I am looking forward to the hunt.
