an unexpected splurge

I was in desperate need of a new pair of pants and it got more desperate after my mom tried patching up my pants. My pants looked like I put knee pads under my pants! My mom couldn't stop laughing as she handed them back to me.


My sisters had a coupon for 50% off your entire purchase to Banana Republic so I thought it would be a good time to see if I could find some pants. I brought Kelsie along because she is our families fashion expert! She has a way of making us try things that we wouldn't normally. Before I knew it I had a whole dressing room of clothes to try on and every time Kelsie went out to get a different size she would come back with more for me to try on. Banana Republic shirts for $12 and pants for $30. How do you say no to that? It felt so good to have clothes that fit after pregnancy so I purchased my favorites and went home to break the news to Ransom. He wasn't too thrilled that I broke budget (after all he thought I was going to come home with 1 pair of $30 pants), but luckily he let me keep it all. He must love me! I can't remember the last time I walked out of a store with a bag full of clothes just for me or owned more than 1 pair of pants. Now I just need to remember all the rules Kelsie gave me about what shirts can be worn with what pants and what shoes I'm allowed to wear! -Katie
