Two Saturdays ago, sanj came to Tysons to help me shop.  I didn't buy anything, but there was Information-Gathering.  Then yesterday, she came down again and I did buy things.

The haul:

• black trousers, for kicking my Concert Dress up a notch.  Fabulous.
  
• white-on-white stripe blouse, because I've heard a rumor that Concert Dress for the summer involves white short-sleeve button-down with a collar (I know, wtf, right?).  Pretty good, considering.
  
• camisoles in silver and red; buy one at full price, get the second for $5 (about 75% off).
  
• fabulous, fabulous skirt x2.
  
• another skirt, cuter than it should be, with a drawstring so it will continue to fit for ages.
  
• sleeveless faux-wrap shirt thing of grooviness.  I got it in black, because they didn't have my size in red, but I'll keep my eyes open.
  
• extremely fabulous white linen trousers, with which I have finally achieved the royal-governor's-wife (or at least royal-governor's-sister-in-law) look.
  
• little black sheath dress, medium formality (not knit, but not for evening, if you see what I mean), in (bonus!) a size smaller than we would have guessed was right.
  
• RUBY FLIP-FLOPS.  omglove.  These are for wearing with the black dress, or really with whatever I want, because they are like ruby slippers only flip-flops, and I am elated to own them, plus they were on sale so they came in at less than fourteen bucks.  HURRAH!

That's two pairs of pants, three skirts, two camisoles, two blouses, a dress, and a pair of ruby flip-flops, for about $250.  More hurrah!  I'm not quite done yet, because although I have bras that can be worn under white blouses, I don't have undies that can be worn under white trousers; and also I'm going to have to get both the black and the white trousers taken up, because I am short.  (And short-waisted, which is a whole other matter, and one sanj does an amusing hand-gesture to illustrate.)

Today, I am wearing a pair of jeans I haven't worn much in aaages (gracious, we were wearing waists higher when I was in college, weren't we!), and I'm going to go buy some milk and then come home and do some laundry.  I think the alterations and underwear-buying will wait until at least Thursday, if not some date further in the future.

Where did you get the linen trousers? I love linen and ramie trousers, especially unlined, because they are the best things to wear while walking around DC in the summer

Woo! Sounds like quite the day of consumer glee.
