The geek goes midnight shopping

I must say, my attitude towards shopping, clothes and fashion in general changed after I saw The Devil Wears Prada. Ever the geek uninterested in clothes and what I wear, I suddenly realized that there is actually something to it and is kinda an art form! The conversion was complete with a rite of passage a few days before Christmas ...

A couple of days before Christmas Eve was quite memorable. Me, Cathod and Rita did the unthinkable (well, at least for me): We shopped for the whole night. We entered Macy's at around 10 PM and came out at 8AM the next day. Can't believe it, but yes, we did it! So what did we really shop? Clothes for me, accessories for a bunch of people, sweaters for moms, Jeans, shoes ... :)

Now I'm not saying that I have completely changed or anything, but yes, my approach has definitely changed. Gone are the rags of yesterdays which I would happily wear out of the dryer. No more clothes which are 'ok fit' - now I will buy something which is a really good fit only. The credit goes in large part to my Rita as well. In fact, I think it would go wholly to Rita.

Here's to New York City and midnight shopping!
