This weekend I decided to run a few errands and pick up a birthday card for Shawn, and I decided to check out the new shopping center that just opened up. This is no ordinary shopping center, this baby has ALL my favorites and it's less than 15 minutes from our house...NY & Co, Ann Taylor Loft, Dillards, even a whole store of just LeCreuset (I know Natalie is jealous!). So needless to say this is very dangerous for me, a girl who despite wanting to be a simple country girl, still loves to shop. Unfortunately, reality hit hard when I realized that I no longer make enough money to be able to justify spending $100 on clothes if I feel like it, actually I now have a hard time justifying $10, and it's hard to find a cute pair of shoes for $10! I really feel like this is a cruel joke on the part of the shopping center developers...they must have known the torment I would feel driving by it every day...damn them! Oh well, I guess now I have no choice but to be a simple country girl, so don't laugh if you see me at school in my denim bibs and john deere t-shirt...OK maybe I'm exaggerating (and that is actually one of my favorite outfits, see...)

It must be hard to go backwards. At least when I was in grad school, I went straight from undergrad. When I started in 99, my stipend was $16,000 /yr., which seemed like a lot of money.
I love you in the overall look...very cute :)
