Today was a girl’s afternoon out. Trinity and I picked up Grandma, and we went out shopping. Trin and I needed new jammies. She can still wear some of her little sleep shirts, but she’s gotten tall enough that just because they fit doesn’t mean they’re really big enough for her. I needed some jammies that could be worn on family vacations and when visiting friends. Most of my sleepwear runs high to lingerie, so new was needed. I’ve worn the only two pieces I have that are company appropriate in Florida and when visiting friends out of state. I found one set for me, and Trin found two for herself. I also wanted Grandma’s opinion on new furniture for the living room. It’s painted now and there are new shelves along the one wall, but the old furniture does not match the new paint job, so new is needed. We may have found some, but we have to measure again. Measure twice, cut once, is the old saying. I’ll paraphrase it here: Measure twice, and the furniture really will fit the room. We also shopped for shoes, and I have to say that some of this year’s sandals are entirely too cool. But we saw shoe styles that are ala the 1940s, the 1960s, and the 1970s. The clothes also show those decades. I never thought I’d see maxi dresses again, especially not with crochet trim. My older cousins wore them in the day. Everything old is new again seems to be the catch phrase for the "new" fashions this spring.
