Shopping trip!
March 6, 2009
So I have a new job that I’m excited about. And I’m not even mad that noone has bothered to suggest going out to celebrate. I thought I would be, but I’m not. Instead, I’m happy because I’m going to do a bunch of shopping tomorrow for work clothes.
My new job is at a bank and anyone that knows me knows that I don’t have many clothes appropriate for such work. I’ve had my fun shopping on the internet for some basic clothes and it’s been great getting them in the mail and trying them on, only to find that… they all fit! I received some more clothes in the mail today and I was terribly excited because one of them was a nice pair of pants. I tried them on and can you believe that they are too big?? I’m trying to decide whether I want to send them back for a smaller size or to keep them and wear them anyways. I think I’m too impatient to send them back in the mail. They took forever to get here in the first place.
So tomorrow I’m going with some friends downtown to shop for work clothes. This is a good thing because I’ve never really trusted myself to pick out cute clothes. Once they’re on me, I can decide if something’s cute or not, but I’m not going to go in a store and try on every single article of clothing. So I’m happy that the friends that are going with me are people that dress well and have some taste… maybe they can help me decide.
My plan is to get a bunch of basics so I can mix and match. My schedule at work starts out with working 5 days a week, so I really need to come out with lots of outfits.
Schweinfurt just got a new mall, too, so that’s going to be an adventure. You don’t find malls in Germany like you do in America. All of the stores are just stores. But this new Stadtgallerie is built up like an American mall, complete with a food court. Granted that the food court is probably filled with German food, but you never know. I hear that McDonalds is there. I don’t know much else about the new mall, but I’ve heard some good things, so I’m happy to give it a try.
Wish me luck!
