Worse than shopping do not come easily to mind. Possibly having my skin shredded by a cheese grater, then doused with vinegar.
The problem with shopping, you see, is that I go shopping when I want or need something. Something usually very specific. And when it comes to clothing? I.Can.Never.Find.What.I.Want.
Usually, it's something plain and fairly classic. Maybe that's the trouble.
Anyone with the ability to point me towards a black halter style evening/cocktail dress (longish full skirt, a la Christian Dior silk in the 1950s, if you want to hit the bullseye) will earn a favor, whatever you name. I could go for another dark color than black if I had to in order to get the style I want. Timing is of the essence. I am being dragged next weekend to a black-tie masquerade ball.
Seriously. Help???

Black full skirt dress
That's *it*!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you want? Anything in my power, it's yours.
Other women around me seem to soak up the whole shopping experience. They actually enjoy lugging bags around and juggling them as they scout out undiscovered loot. They'll even go bug the salesgirls to check the non-displayed inventory for the item they love, but isn't precisely the color they want.
Ick. I want to walk in, buy my skirt and leave. And, unfortunately, I don't have a clue where you can find what you need. Good luck with your search and let us know how you do!
(I have a sickness, I know, but they were so cute!)
