My new dress

I went to a new store down at the District. Its called DownEast basics. The rack full of shirts with a big sign saying $5 lured me in. The kids were less than pleased since we were suppose to be there to look at dogs at the pet adoption event. Well I got my $5 shirt and then came up with a great plan. I grabbed another shirt so that I could embellish my plain shirt... something like this:

And then with the remaining shirt I can make a skirt for Ava. Nifty, aint it.

But even better than the shirts I found my dress fot Easter... and I wasnt even looking. It reminds me of something that you'd see at Anthropologie but for way less. And the best part is that it has... pockets! I'm over the moon for dresses with pockets. I absolutely adore them.

Apparently lots of other people in blogland already know about this store but Im just now discovering it. I will definitely be going back..without the kids this time. Or at least without Ben. Ava likes to shop and was taking shirts off the rack she thought I would like and bringing them over. Until she discovered that they had some dresses her size. She seems to think that everything is suppose to be fair and that if I buy me something to wear that Im suppose to buy her something as well. I am going to be in big trouble as she gets older if this is how she is at 5.
