One of the girls in belly dancing class blurted out, “If you guys want [Indian] skirts you can get ’em at Susie’s Deals for five bucks! They have a whole rack of ’em!” So that’s where Vanessa and I went after class and caught the place 20 minutes before it closed.
I went NUTS. 5 Indian skirts, beautiful fabric and colors, some with bells on them, some with metallic weave; 3 ribbed cotton tanktops; 1 satin beaded spaghetti-strap tanktop, $40.95 out the door.
Good thing those skirts are in style now, too. I get double use out of ’em.
Yep, they’re in style… would you have bought them if they weren’t, and why?
I resisted buying them in the first place BECAUSE they’re in style. I refuse to be trendy. I didn’t buy one of those little backpacks they used as purses when they were all the rage, until Vicky bought me one for my bday one year. I now use that when I need my hands free for some event, like Disneyland (altho nowadays I prefer to travel lighter than that if I can get away with it, with just a UCLA keychain billfold and a cellphone). Now that I need these skirts for bellydancing, it justified my buying something trendy.
That was a cool store. Which skirt are you planning on wearing to the next class?
I have no idea! There are so many options. I’ll see how I feel on Wednesday. And with long skirts, I can be lazy w/my legwork.
