Needed: Personal Shopper

Addie and I had a Ladies Day yesterday. I had high hopes of a successful shopping day. We went to eat lunch and then went shopping at a few stores. I had a few things in mind that I needed to get, then I just wanted to look around a bit. I discovered, though, that I must have shopping ADD or some other shopping ailment. I would pick something up, then get distracted by Addie hiding in the clothes or by someone that happened to walk by or by something that had fallen on the floor. Then, I would put up whatever I had in my hands. I couldn't even focus most of the time because of the noise, people or overwhelming amount of things in the store. Have stores always been so jam packed full of clothes???
I have wanted to make bows for Addie for a while now, but have just never done it. I thought it would be fun for us to go to Michael's and look at the ribbon. NOT! I didn't take into account that it is Homecoming season in Texas and it was a MAD HOUSE! I wandered aimlessly through the store and had to leave because I could literally feel my blood pressure rising and my sanity leaving me.
In total we went to 7 different stores. It was miserable. I REALLY wanted to buy a new outfit, but I don't even know where to start. Then, if I bought a new outfit I would need new shoes. Oh the horror! I couldn't focus or even think long enough to pick something out to try on. I went home feeling very defeated. I KNOW I need a few new things to wear, but I just don't know where or what or even how! It is all just overwhelming to me right now. So, I will keep wearing my same old clothes, some of which are too big and baggy. I used to love to shop, but not now. I don't know what has happened. I think I just need someone to take me by the hand, pick some things out for me to try on and tell me what looks good and what doesn't. Any takers?!?
