I need a slip and black shoes to go with the skirt I bought this summer. A black skirt that should pack nicely and is the only "dress" I'm bringing as I have a couple of shirts to dress it up with. So...I got a coupon in the mail from Penney's the other day. An additional 30% the sale price if I use my JCP card. I had to take C out to the west end for a party today so I stopped at JCP to pick them up. I didn't think it'd be busy because Kohl's is opening this weekend. But I guess people we're checking out both places because it was busy.
First stop, the slip. "Sorry, we don't carry slips in the store--only on line and in the catalog." GREAT. Then I was off to the shoe department. I couldn't get anyone to help me, but when I finally did I said, "I'm looking for a cute pump, low heal, wide width." "Sorry I have one pump, size 8. That's it." ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? Soooooo glad I didn't drive all the way to the west end for that loser of a trip.
I came home, went online and ordered 4 pair of shoes and one slip. I figured with 4 pair of shoes, one was bound to fit, and I'd return the other 3 to my local JCP so they could have 3 pairs of wide width shoes. Of course, I go through the whole ordering process only to be told that 2 of the shoes aren't available. Whatever. $55+ later I might have 2 pair of shoes and a slip coming to my house. Probably while I'm in AZ. They'll probably be stolen or rained on or something!!! :) One thing's for sure: if both pair of shoes fit, I'll probably keep them both!!!!
It really shouldn't be this hard!

I truly have no clue what I'm bringing and not. I am almost deciding that it will just be worth the extra cost to take two suitcases so I won't be so stressed about trying to fit everything in and also I'll have room to bring stuff home for the fam!!!

I'm flying Delta and can still have 2 bags. I will probably use two small ones--because one big one might weigh too much. I don't know. Mostly I hate my same old clothes. How many cruises can I go on and wear the same ugly stuff over and over and over. I have a small duffle that I'm hoping to pack for stuff I want to bring home. I might just carry that on on the way home. SL
