Notes of a shopaholic

Wednesday, May 21, 2003:

Oh god--I haven't updated in ten days! I didn't say I haven't shopped, just haven't updated. The stuff from J. Crew arrived--loved the coat, which, with two belts--one around the waist, one around the neck--looks like some sort of rip-off of kind-of fetishy stuff from Gucci or Costume National. Only its cotton canvas. Cotton canvas never looks overly fetishy. I wasn't so fond of the batik pants, mostly because of the bland cut. They have gone back.

I finally made it to the new H&M in Potomac Mills. I love H&M, but they can go just a little heavy on the wild-prints-on-cotton-jersey. And they are very big on tunics this season. I have one tunic already, and its not getting out of the drawer much. Anyway, I purchased two short-sleeve button-front shirts--a cotton/polyester army green one (I've had sooo many of these) for $9 (not on sale, incredibly enough), and a striped shirt with diagonal stripes on the placket and pocket for $15.

I also snagged a pair of red-and-white-striped boxer briefs at the Gap for $6. How'd it happen that the Gap is practically the only place selling interesting underwear for men?

And I got five pairs of socks on sale at J Crew for $15.
