Shopping Update

A couple weekends ago, I headed up to the outlets.  I really went in search of rugs for the upstairs rooms that now have hardwood and a dresser to be used in baby's room.  What I came home with is entirely different.  I passed the Cole Haan outlet and they were having 40% off everything.....came home with these beauties. (thanks Bama - this is what you bought me for my birthday and I LOVE them!!!)  I got them in gold.  They also had them in silver, but were out of the black.  I probably would have splurged for the black as well.  (I bought a couple other things, but nothing as exciting as the hot deal on the comfy flats)

I also got a Nordstrom gift card for my birthday from hubby.....The Half Yearly sale started yesterday and I just happened to be heading into town to meet hubby for dinner.  So I stopped by...I picked up these boots and the flats in silver (couldn't find the silver pair online).  I brought home the boots, but I am not in LOVE with them, and for that kind of money, I kind of want to be in love with them.  So, they will probably go back.  The flats on the other hand, they are great, and were a good price.

I also tried on the brown Jessica Simpson flats that I showed in this post, but did not like them at all. 

After the shoe purchase (and dealing with some DG chapter drama) I ran to the Destination Motherhood store, since I was at the mall after all.  I found a cute tunic to wear for my shower next weekend (with leggings and the lovely gold shoes above, yes, comfort is now key) and nursing bras....don't get me started on those.  I did find 2 I thought were comfortable, so we'll start there....and BTW, they are now on my Christmas list - those things are expensive.  (family - if you're interested, call James, he knows the size - and is maybe secretly wishing that size stays around longer than just nursing)

Sadly after that, I ran out of time and didn't get to do more damage at the Nordstrom sale, and believe me, I definitely could have done more damage.....guess that is good since we need rugs, and a dresser/changing table for baby, oh and a stroller and carseat, you know, important stuff ;)

All in all, I am happy to have 2 pairs of comfy shoes that fit (these are a whole size bigger than my previous size) and a cute baby shower outfit!!
