Today was definitely long and busy but I had fun hanging out with them. I learned that we had so much more in common than before! It's so crazy. Rushed this morning, dumping out a ton of clothes to sell. Wore shorts, flats, racerback tank under a silk floral cover-up, with my suitcase like shoulder bag. Got some frappe in the morning, shopped at F21, over-enthusiastic employee lady helping me out with my shopping list - she got a ton of scarves, asked me what style I like (she liked indie/boho as well). Ate lunch at Chik-fil-A, met up with her friend A and she brought a friend because he said he needed help changing his 'prep' style. Back to the mall, got a teal sweatshirt and cream scarf at F21, went to Pacsun and me and GR both got a dress (buy 1 get 1 free, so we both paid only $10), we both liked the beige/mustard pants, Charlotte Russe - the brown long boots i wanted was sold out, she got lace and knit tights. Checked out the price for those mustard pants, she went back to Pacsun, i went to F21, called and took pictures (the pacsun pants were better but more expensive, didnt buy it), met up at clothing co, back to F21. Dejected because we both didn't find the boots we wanted (she wanted the brown ankle oxford-ish boots i had). She realized i had feather extensions in my hair,; our parents were the same when it comes to shopping; rusty/mustard colored shirts, vintage dress, oxfords. At 3pm, picked up her bro IR and her bf's bro TH. Played guitar at her house, found out she sang for her church with a band, printed out chords, her teal/greenish room, christian bands on her wall. 7pm - ate tacos, chilly outside so i wore my new cream scarf, phoenix art museum, shuttle bus, walked around, fuze drinks, scary people with halloween costumes, recieved a black rose (hair salon coupon), sweetsauce shirts, waited for a train but ended up walking a quarter of a mile. Tiring day for sure. It was fun, got to know her and a whole lot of her friends.
