Ever just FREAK or SPASM out ~ yup, I do!

So I was at Target shopping for a Christmas dress, for the Christmas Company Party in TWO days. Yeah, not much time ~ but like I have much time anyways. I was proud of my attempt to be trendy and cute, shopping with NO KIDDOS so I could think/have a thought.

OK, so I wondered into the misses/ junior section when I realize:

• I don't know what the heck is in style! So.... hmmm..... crud.... PANIC STARTING. I don't want to be the ackward, ugly girl. Oh Mercy.......... BLAH!!!!!!!!!!!
• Don't FREAK Karen. So do I ask that trendy lady, holding up a dress, "Is this cute? Or even in style?" Humbling, but ..... H-E-L-P!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• OK, I think this dress is super, super cute. So I try it on and VOILA!, it fits - almost. I really needed a 4, not the 6, but I am desparate ~ remember? Do you buy a cute dress that fits decent (not great)? It is on clearance for $19 and pretty cute (I think, but really don't know. Truly I don't know, but I HOPEFULLY think that it was. Wool houndstooth on the bottom in gray, black and cranberry, gray on the top that is highwaisted with a gray belt.
• Then I realized what shoes would you wear with this little beauty? I don't know- ballet flats, mary janes, nylons (are those even legal or arrested immediately by the FASHION POLICE?) , high boots. REAL PANIC, I am completely flustered and starting to sweat. Help, now I need more deodorant. Mercy me!!!

Now at this point I am baffled, so I walk out of the dressing room. Return the dress back to the rack when I see a DARLING sweater. Gorgeous, longer, with 3 top toggles --- on clearance for $12 and I KNOW this is trendy cuteness. So without hesitation~ I grab the sweater and pay for it and RUN off.

**Now I know, I am a mom. I don't know trendy, get stressed out shopping, and even consider buying something decent vs. amazing. HA! I never thought that day would come so soon!
