Fashion Sister

Yesterday the resident artist didn't work and so an epic shopping trip was planned.

 (Epic: anything longer than 15 minutes in a store where it isn't possible to get bananas, an oil change and swimwear at the same time)

 

I knew it would be a chore to find clothes here, but getting Bailey outfitted for her mission has been much more of a challenge than I thought...

 

And I didn't want another shopping fail with cursing and tears (ok that wasn't Bailey, that was me)...

 

Shopping is HARD.

 

So yesterday began with a prayer and vow to keep my mouth shut...and Bailey promising to at least try it on...

 

Success...

 

 

                                                 

Everything mix and match and Bailey doesn't feel frumpy or old or weird (her words). And she even found a shirt with anchors and the one with sailboats, quite fitting for Halifax :)

We had the best success in THE BAY...a dress, skirt, blazer and two shirts and an associate that actual understood the word modest. CLEO, Old Navy, RICKY'S and TARGET also had modest, mission appropriate stuff, yay!!!!

The shoes were also 50% off...SCORE!!!!

We did it! Between yesterday and the few things I have found on line and second hand, Bailey is basically ready to go...

There were no tears or swearing(yay me) and even Grant did it without snacks or eye rolling.

And Bailey, for the first time looks like a real missionary. :)
