Just Me, MocaGyrl

I hate getting older, there’s no two ways about it. What’s a young at heart but about to be 40 year old to do? Of utmost importance, where do I shop? At malls, my options suck, too many of the over 30 crowd stores are not my style. It’s either places like Reitmans, safe, plain jane clothing, or what?, Cotton Ginny? Ho hum, more like drab I’ve-given-up-on-having-style choices. I don’t do floral, all black or all beige. Polyester pants, uh, nope. I prefer tops with style, some sort of flair, & my lord, they need a shape. I don’t want a sweater that just hangs on me, you know what I mean? I still like Le Château (notice their stuff is designed with the coolest details?), Costa Blanca, & some non-slutty Sirens stuff with coverage.

And footwear? Sorry but I’m not ready for Easy Spirit or Ecco, I still love my Payless heels   (& matching bags!) and trendy bargain shoe shop sandals & boots. That’s why I was really happy to discover Forever 21 in the US last year. I know TO has one on Queen St., but I’m better off shopping in the US because I go there more often than I go downtown.

If there’s one thing I get a rush from it’s a good deal. So I’m one of those shoppers who makes a beeline to the sale racks in every store. Where do I find utter shopping bliss in one store? Winners hands down, is where I can easily kill 3 hours. It’s one store that never lets me down. Original, fashionable clothing & funky footwear, what more could I ask for? Oh yeah, jewellery too!

When will the time come when I must just drive wistfully by the Suzy Shier outlet on Orfus Rd.? Probably when someone, most likely a family member, tells me I should “dress for my age!”  lol!
