I shopped like a girl.

I shopped like a girl. And it was good.

I went to the Cabazon Outlets, which has just about every fucking brand name a label whore could wet dream about. Bonus: you can burn off about 25,000 calories just walking from one end to the other. The fucked up part is that you have to park at one end or the other, which means that you have to walk the mall TWICE in order to get back to your car. They do have a food court at the midpoint where you can see weary bleary eyed shoppers and their piles of bags just trying to stuff enough carbs and caffeine into their bodies to make it back to the car.

I successfully avoided the stores where I haven't a clue what to buy, what is/is not a good deal and where the sales clerks (yes - you are CLERKS! you fucking pseudo high brow twits!!) look at me as if I just fell off the delivery truck. These stores include but are not limited to: Versace, Armani, Prada, Gucci and Ferragamo.

I've often found that outlets are not neccesarily cheaper than the actual retail stores. Usually it's just a scam to get you to pay full price for factory second merchandise because you're exhausted and not in your right mind. But this day, I was successful. I was the victor! The following items totaled under $300, few of which had any noticable defects.

2 pairs of Levi's
1 pair Polo cargo pants (marked 30" inseam, but actually about a 42" inseam)
1 Kenneth Cole shirt
1 Saks off 5th leather jacket (faulty zipper)
1 pair of sandles
1 pair of loafers
1 pair of Timberland hiking hybrid shoes (with a free ugly sweatshirt!)
1 Hugo Boss pull over
1 North Face fleece jacket (Final purchase - not in my right mind. Yeah - winters coming to the desert any minute now!)
