Target

This week I did something that is rather uncommon for me.

I went shopping.

I know what you’re thinking. “Katie, aren’t you a girl?” And to that, I have to say a firm yes and explain that I am not your typical girl. Let me also explain that I love to online shop and I love clothes as well as cool gadgets and trinkets.

What I hate is the physical act of shopping. There, I said it. I strongly dislike rifling through racks of clothes that all look the same yet slightly different, trying on clothes and constantly having to put things on and take them off and put things on again, and waiting in lines to check out, especially on weekends. It is such a process and it always leaves me with an achy back, sore feet and an empty wallet.

That is why shopping this weekend classifies as my adventure. You see, I am going on a great adventure to Hawaii for the first time in approximately 12 days (not that I’m counting), and for this large adventure, I need to be well equipped.

This led me out of Fort Worth and back home to Plano to do some much needed swimsuit and Hawaiin-esque clothing shopping.

Where do you think I went first? No, not the mall. I went to Target.

Who doesn’t love Target with all of their heart? Target is a place where I can get all kinds of clothing shopping done, and then quickly escape to the electronics section to take a breather searching through the DVD section.

They had everything I needed, including cute swimsuits, cover-ups, and shorts all for affordable prices. There is no place better than Target for your Spring Break needs.

Next I had to take an adventure to my favorite clothing stores to see if they had anything worth investing in. So I went to adventure through Express, Urban Outfitters, and Anthropologie. While I didn’t buy anything at the time, I tried on all of the things that I had been drooling over online. Here are some of the things that I was looking for:

Some items were cute on, and others were not at all. The ones that were cute were incredibly expensive and left me feeling a little appalled at how much was being charged for something so simple (another reason I dislike shopping). This all led to a feeling of accomplishment for my job well done at Target.

An adventure to the mall is not always as fruitful as you would like it to be, and I learned that this weekend in full force. I think I learned my lesson: just go to Target, and life is much easier.

While my adventure blog this week certainly sounds a lot more like an ad about the wonders of Target, I hope you can see that Target is a magical place worthy of your time. It is always an adventure to walk through those hallowed red and white halls.

Adventure on,

Katie
