Tonight made up for the Meijer trip last night. This evening all five of us went to Kohl's. I like this chain a lot.
We started in the teen girls department. Very interesting clothes, but little there that would flatter me, or even warrant trying on privately. I may dress younger than 45, but even I know better than to invest in Avril Levigne's line for myself.
We moved on to the men's department from there. Not so bad here. Much of my male wardrobe has come from here. Options include bright colors and interesting textures. I have utilized some of this wardrobe as part of femme outfits, with the upside that they fit me well. So where I found nothing that I desired yesterday, today I was agreeing with many choices presented to me.
Mrs. L then took two of the kids off for a bathroom break, and I moved with the remaining child over to the women's department. This was mostly to look for gifts for the lovely Mrs. L, but, as you would expect, I kept a tranned eye open for potential Leslie garb.
This just might be the store where I would want to fulfill my longtime fantasy of being locked in a store overnight, free to mix and match all night. I loved so much of what I saw here, both for me and my wife. I plan to return for purchasing Wednesday night. Although I will be herding between one and three kids during this, I am really eager to dive in. I will be buying for my wife's Christmas and her early January birthday. I don't see why I can't include an item or two for myself in the pile o' duds.
I felt very much at ease in the store, so I think this might become a favored spot for buying my "other" clothes. I'm feeling kinda bubbly now. Shopping therapy works.

Leslie Ann, It is nice to hear that you had an enjoyable time out with the family. Kohl's is pretty much my favorite place to shop. It seems like everything is always on sale. They have a really nice range of clothes, from pretty casual up through reasonably dressy. I hope the rest of your holiday season goes well and that you have a very Merry Christmas with Mrs L and the kids.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I do know the feeling. Halloween thru X-mas is the best time to stock up on other clothes and other accesories
ReplyDeleteOh Leslie, you've found my weak spot.
ReplyDeleteKohls! I can spend hours there on the clearance racks and end up with $500 worth of stuff hah...if I'm not careful. =)
Glad you had a little bit of a better time this time =)
I love Kohls!!! Just did some shopping yesterday and picked up a new purse and a cute cardigan sweater. They have a wonderful selection and always seem to have great sales.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you were able to get a few things for yourself and had a nice time.
Have a Merry Christmas!

My men's wardrobe is hilarious. I just don't care enough about men's clothing to shop it properly. The top layer is always a Van Heusen micro-suede button up shirt. The only thing that changes is the color. I button one button at the bottom, or at my waste if I'm feeling brave. Beneath this, a tee. There are only two kinds. Again only the color varies. LOL! And Doc Marten's with Lee Dungaree jeans. I look like such a bum! But I just can't shop men's clothes!
ReplyDeleteBeing a Wisconsin girl, I was weaned on Kohls, headquartered outside MKE. Good assortment of quality fashions & excellent prices, but NEVER, EVER shop without a coupon. There's always one available. It's easy to leave Kohls feeling on top of the world, especially after saving 50-80% off retail (whatever that really means)! Happy holiday shopping.

ReplyDeleteWell, for some variety, you could always crop one of those t-shirts, and then tie the front tails of that Van Heusen button front shirt in a knot, just below your rib cage. Well....maybe not for work. ;-)
