Mosaic Monday - Shopping Scene

What else to do on a rainy Saturday afternoon, when the original activity (white water rafting) has been canceled? Why, you hit the mall of course.

Especially since the mall here is much bigger than the one at home, and Old Navy is running a sale on kids' jeans ($10 per pair).

After the obligatory jeans have been purchased and tucked back in the car, I set off to do some serious shopping with my daughter, hitting every teen oriented store, all conveniently located in the same wing of the mall. Those retailers don't miss a trick....

Abercrombie and Fitch (overpriced, smelly and too loud), then American Eagle, the Aeropostale and Sephora, Hollister and finally Forever 21. Is there an award for surviving shopping with my teen?

I did manage to score a sweater in the Hollister - one appropriate even for me! And a set of new place mats for the kitchen table.

Here's the mosaic of some of the items we saw while shopping:


Top left - the sweater from Hollister. I plan to wear it with a white cami over jeans. It's my first sweater purchase of the season and I am so ready for Fall....
Top right - a cute plastic fisheye camera from Lomography, spotted in the American Eagle store. I had to tear myself away from purchasing it.
Bottom left - The Best Buy has Vinyl LP Records for sale. Amazing.
Bottom right - the pattern of the place mats I purchased, from the Pottery Barn

So I guess my "reward" is the sweater and place mats. I'll take it....
