oooh! project!

No, I am not a project. Countless girls have tried to get me to dress better . . . at first I tried, but now I just refuse on principle.

Although, when it comes to professional dress, I dress extremely well.
I defended you!

I've never had a problem, but I don't look good in their pants anyway, so I only get their shirts/sweaters and skirts/dresses. Also shorts. And oh yeah, accessories :)

I agree with this. I have 9 years of accquired 'preppy' cothing. Some of my wardrobe is so out of date it's back in style. That said, I wear Lacoste polos with Sean John jeans. It's not like I don't know what I'm doing, I just choose not to give a shit what people think about it.

haha same. Last night I bought 2 pairs of red shoes online. I'm going to see which one I like better and send the other one back. If they get here ontime I'll probably wear them on friday.

from what i've heard not much. There's more than one mall, so maybe you have ended up at the bad one.

Here's what the website lists: Talbots, Ann Taylor, Beecroft & Bull, Old Navy, and Banana Republic, Belk, Sears, JC Penney. Waldenbooks, Sam Goody. Ann Taylor, the Gap & GapKids, Express, Lane Bryant, Legends, Lerner New York, Eddie Bauer, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, J. Crew, and Victoria's Secret for clothes. Foot Locker & Nine West Shoes.

We won't have a lot of options. I guess it will help me save money. Or we could do weekends in NYC!

Though there IS a Piercing Pagoda
Still pretty bad. Barely any shoe options and I think I might die if there isn't a macy's/nordstrom nearyby - I love their shoe sections and they're the only place I buy bras. But there are lingerie boutiques.

Oh Tysons II, how I will miss you...

But it's only 2 hours away from UVA and 5 minutes from my house back home! I can function with just a J Crew nearby.

Belks is sort of like Macy's... why did they have to buy Parisian's though? Parisian's was like Nordstrom :(

HAHA. my googling turned up what is c-ville's only adult store: ultimate bliss. Apparently it's near the KFC. :D

It would be a bit strange shopping there and running into someone you know - no secrets in small towns.

Omg yes Tysons II... though I require Tysons I too for the Nordstrom... and Bloomingdales... and the Apple store (which ALSO there is not in Charlottesville!!! Which really surprises me in a big college town)
Tysons I has gotten too crowded for me... stressful :( I try to go there as little as possible, and then I hit up Bloomies, Nordstrom, Steve Madden, and Cusp... then I'm out of there!!!!
