I've been shopping EVERYWHERE!
It's true! I moved last month and I needed EVERYTHING! Clothes, because the weather is changing and my sweaters are in storage boxes. Home décor, because my new place has more wall space and is more colorful than my old place. Appliances, because the new ones are much more energy efficient. And, Crystal Lake was the place to get it ALL!!
Shoe- Village Shoes had cool, comfy NAOT metallic sandals. Conforming to the feet like a Birkenstock, but fashion-friendly, the metallic straps compliment everything from jeans to business attire.
Dresses- Kohl's and Dress Barn were great for sizes and styles. The Clothes Gallery made me feel fabulous. And, La Bellisima Lingerie made me glad I lost my bra in the move. (I wonder if it's still in the moving truck....Ed's Rental, will you check?)
Accessories- La Faux and Flair Boutique had super accessories.
Home Décor- World Market had a sale on a red leather chair that wasn't so big and chunky that it took over my living room. Oh, and the matching ottoman provided the extra storage I needed. I also got in on a few season-ending sales at Kmart, Sears, Linens 'N Things and Bed Bath & Beyond. I spent a few dollars, but saved a bundle. Marietta's shabby chic fits my design tastes while Wickham interiors added a classy, elegant component to my sitting room.
Appliance- Gulgren's was great. I bought a new washer and dryer on Saturday and was doing laundry on Tuesday. I love my new Fisher-Paykal energy efficient machines.
As I shopped, I enjoyed seeing neighbors, friends and meeting new people along the way. From local shops to Big Box stores, everyone was helpful and considerate.
Well, gotta run. I have to shop for my housewarming party. Joseph's. Sam's Club, Jewel, Dominick's and Cardinal Liquors....here I come!!!!
