Ready. Set. SHOP!!!!!

       Ok so the first three weeks of school are over. The football season has been kicked off with a bang! So now what? HOMECOMING! And what is one important thing for the girls? Dress shopping!
       So me and my friends were getting so excited for the dance, some of got dates and some us just got talked into coming. Well now ofcourse we must go shopping! Its just the girl way. So Sunday afternoon and group of 8 teenage girls set off into the mall!
       Well like most teenage girls have probably noticed by now, stores aparently think we are all the size of a pencil and are 5'4. Well as anyone who has seen me knows, im not 5'4, im actually 5'9. So ofcourse almost every dress was short on me.... great! And the most shocking is that I had was with one friend whos very skinny. Shes healthy and excercises like everyday and was the smallest girl with us that day. So for a couple laughs we had her try on this small, form fitting dress. Well it turned out that it took three of us to get this her in that dress! I think thats a sign right there that the dress maufactures need to reasess their sizes.
      Store after store we hunted. We tried on dresses, laughed at the stupid ones and gave opinions. Finally it came towards to the end of the trip, one by one girls left to go to soccer games and church events until finally it was just me and my friend. Only 2 people had actually bought anything! At 6 the mall closed and my mom picked both me and my friend up.
      After dropping off my friend, my mom offerd to take me to Khols for last try at finding a dress that day. So I agreed and we went to Khols. They only have 4 types of homecoming dresses and all but one were not even cute. So I took the one cute dress to the dressing room not really expecting much. A couple minuets later I was looking in the mirror and saw that the dress fit me, and we really actually very cute! YES! So we bought it and I went home a happy girl. Mission accomplished. Homecoming here I come!!!!!!
