Went shopping today...to the Galleria in Dallas, a couple of miles from where I live. This place is really really posh. Of course I didn't realise just how posh, but luckily I was dressed in my old jeans and 'Drunken Monkey' T shirt with old clapped out trainers on, so I fitted in almost seamlessly with the great and the good of Dallas. I started my shopping expedition in Saks of Fifth Avenue (It even sounds posh doesn't it?!) and I decided that I should look for shoes. I saw a really nice pair...of shoes, so I checked them out, I almost laughed out loud when I saw the price tag...$450!! Thats over 200 quid. I mean, dont get me wrong, they were nice shoes, but no different from the kinds of shoes you can get from Next or Gap etc.
So anyway, I moved on to the jeans section - $202 dollars for a pair of LaCoste jeans....thats around 100 quid. I decided to shop around a little bit more!
The place had an ice rink installed on the lower floor, with a big christmas tree in the middle, which was quite cool. I ended up getting some jeans from Guess and a top and a belt, all for $130 dollars. I was quite surprised to find that a 32" waist was really quite big on me. The Calvin Klein ones I got from Florida are 32" and they fit me ok. Well, it seems Im down to a 31" waist now, so looks like all the gym work is paying off!
