Why does the mall want to send a woman, who came to spend money (and was prepared to spend whatever it took), home empty handed. We bought one dress for $25. That was it! We spent more money eating than we did actually buying merchandise. All three of us needed an Easter dress and the girls needed Easter shoes. We got one dress.
\nWe decided to leave the mall and see if we could find a Kohls and of course we could because they are everywhere. I found a blouse (not sure what I’m going to wear it with) and Sarah found a skirt (not sure what she is going to wear it with) that was it.

Why would I allow my fourteen year old to go anywhere in this<\/a> or this<\/a>. That would be lovely for church. And doesn’t the second one look like a bed spread or Aunt May’s couch cushion.
