I bought a skirt at the drug store. \u00a0At the drug store! Is that wrong? \u00a0Was I just conned? They had a rack of summer skirts for $9.99 \u00a0right at the entry door. \u00a0I noticed it when I walked in but thought, “What kind of people are buying clothes at the pharmacy? For God sakes, go to Target, or Ross, or Kohls if you’re broke but not Walgreens. Have we lost our sense of dignity?” \u00a0I stuck my nose in the air and passed by the display of colorful skirts. \u00a0But one caught my eye so I stopped, looked back and saw a black & white one that would go perfectly with a new top I just got. All of a sudden, I felt a little extra weight on my shoulders. “It can’t hurt to look,” said the left side. “This is a drug store!” said the right. “Where’s your pride? What if somebody sees you?” \u00a0 I was paralyzed with indecision, but that skirt was so cute – they all were. \u00a0I started inching towards the rack, stopped, turned back, turned around again, hoping people would think I forgot my keys. When no one was around, I finally walked over & looked through the skirts – this one was so soft and summery but would it fit? \u00a0I looked for a mirror to get a full view but there was none. \u00a0And what kind of a drug store has no fitting room? I took my chances and bought it, hoping no one I knew would walk in at that moment, praying that it fit so I would never be in the position of returning clothes to Walgreens. When I got home I tried it on and it fit. I love my new skirt! Then I remembered another cute green one that I also liked and besides, I could always use more floss. I’m going back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
