My vice and vision, a version of verisimilitude...only because when I write I'm in that funky kind of mood

My First New Orleans Shopping Expedition

As a new resident of New Orleans, yesterday I decided to further my resettlement process and find the nearest mall. With my job hunt on the rise and the phone that has began to ring non-stop with interviews, I needed a business suit fast. But of course, spring is in full bloom and I also needed a fresh wardrobe.
Step 1: iPhone research. I downloaded apps for all of my favorite stores, mapped the locations, and made note of any sales in the area.
Step 2: I studied the latest edition of Glamor Magazine and noted the newest trends for inspiration.
Step 3: Found my way to the mall and spent the entire day there.
The outcome: 6 new dresses, a petite size black skirt suit, undergarments from Victoria's Secret, and a watch.

My favorite purchase was this brown and white polka dot dress that reminds me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. Since that is one of my favorite movies of all time, I couldn't leave it on the rack!
