Wasn't That The Name Of A Dragon?

Today was free underwear day at Victoria's Secret. I love free stuff.


After a rather inauspicious start to the shopping day, I ended up buying what is commonly known as a crapload of shirts. Three are tank tops, which is something I have zero experience with. I'm not yet sure how I feel about them.


And no, I did not take pictures for my blog. I have not yet ascended to that level of narcissistic obsession. I take pictures because I think they give me a better idea of how clothes look than the mirror does. In fact, after uploading the pictures and seeing them larger, I think a couple of shirts I bought today are a mistake,


and there's one I kind of regret not getting, despite the unfortunate color.


And then there are the shirts that look alright, but, given time to decipher my feelings, I think I might actually hate.


Clothes shopping is hard.

Conversation in a fitting room:

Me: I hope you don't mind that I just changed in front of you.

Chrissy: Well, now I'm questioning my sexuality.

Me: My work here is done.

Also, I saw this sign on a trash can:

THE END.

i like them all. Especially the tank top and the light green one. Great purchases!

Damn I missed free underwear day! I support your decision to not buy the weird colored shirt, but the rest are great. I find tank tops look better when one's hair is down if that helps.

Elizabeth - Thank you! Maybe I'll send you the rest of the pictures and get your opinion. Chrissy is INVALUABLE as a shopping buddy, but I like to get a few perspectives if I can.

The light green one is the one I kind of regret not getting. And I'm taking the blue one back - after seeing the pictures I don't think I could wear it and feel good about it.

Sabayon - Yeah, I'm not super thrilled about the color, but I might go back and get it anyway. I wish I could find it in blue in the right size...

I completely love the idea of a super-tough dragon named "Panties." I may have to start writing dragon fantasy just to make that fantasy of mine come true.

I'm horrible at clothes shopping with other women, unless it's someone I'm attracted to. Sometimes I just don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for or what is supposed to be flattering, so everything ends up looking "nice." I know, I suck.

Holly - If you write it, I want to read it.

canihelpyousir - So, you're saying you're not attracted to me? Okay. That's cool. On a totally unrelated note, do jewelry stores take engagement rings back?

Lesbo: My favorite pair. And not just because they were free. Not JUST.
