Today I did the unthinkable, and survived. I went shopping with my teenage daughter.
Actually, we did pretty good. The first stop was the Citadel Outlets, where I hit Tommy Hilfinger (one pair of pants) and Eddie Bauer (one shirt, one pair of pants), while nsshere hit the Torrid Outlet and Old Navy, and got a bunch of stuff. I saw some possibilities at Van Heusen, but they were too disorganized. Next, it was off to The Block at Orange, where I hit the Virgin Megastore This-Location-Going-Out-Of-Business sale (got 5 CDs and 1 DVD… for Amazon prices!), and nsshere hit Saks Off 5th (didn’t find anything). We also looked at Hilo Hattie, and tried the Steve & Barry’s Going Out of Business Sale… but the latter was a zoo so we gave up. We also got more at Old Navy. Our last stop was Irvine Spectrum, where nsshere hit Urban Outfitters and Nordstrom, but didn’t find anything. Dinner was a new find — the “Brents of Orange County” — Hof’s Hut in Orange. Yum.
