shopping mission

now, i'm sure you're all dying to find out how i made out with the shopping mission today. i'm happy to report (well... sorta happy-ish) that it was a successful mission. i bought 3 skirts, a jacket, and two tops. i've got enough clothes to survive Monaco without looking like a starving backpacker and they're all decent pieces that i can wear to work (maybe i won't wear the satin red skirt to work...it's a little *too* girly). it was tough. i couldn't, however, bring myself to purchase any of the necklaces or bracelets to accent my outfits because they were all so expensive and i could make nicer ones myself for a fraction of the cost. so... i'll go mildly unaccessorized in Monaco. i have big bling bling rings that i bought on my first day here so that'll have to do.
