Today a group of us conquered Woodbury Commons. It was a *looooonnnng* day of shopping (we met up at 10am and I just got home at 8pm,) but a beautiful day, so it's justified. I feel so accomplished because I set out to only buy a pair of Timberlands, but ended up with a few nice cardigans, a few pairs of jeans (including my first black pair, and my first Levi 517's,) some Ray Bans (<--inset: aren't they cool?), and a skull cap.
I'm pretty stoked about what I spent. I never like shopping because it's endless looking around and not finding anything. But boy, was I on a mission. Shminker and I hit up SIX stores in 30 minutes, 'cause I was speed-shopping for some Oxford shoes. I never knew I could do that. Didn't find them this time, but there's always the day after Thanksgiving.
So all in all it was a pretty good day. I had to curb my distaste for long lines in favor of great bargins, but sacfrifices must be made for the greater good.
In all reality, coming out here is a good idea. Prices are so good for designer clothes, it's worth it despite having to troll through a lot of haystacks just to get your needle. A word to the wise: target the more middle-priced stores early, because that's when the lines are the smallest. And forget about trying to leave after 5pm. It's an hour to get there from Manhattan but two hours back (yikes!)
There's always next time... And I've got a plan.
Note to self: Remember to take GWB to 95-N to 17-N to 87-N, then exit 16 for Woodbury.
