Funny you should ask; I just had a big "girls day out" for my birthday yesterday! Here's my haul:

1. Some great thigh highs and knee socks from Sock Dreams, plus some lovely lilac tights! And Wonder Woman socks! The staff were so very friendly, too. A true Portland gem of a store!
2. A beautiful hardbound book of three plays by Euripides from Another Read Through, a cool bookstore in the same block.
3. Some personal care items from She Bop, a fabulous adult boutique just a couple blocks further.
4. Three warm cardigans and a pair of capris from the Goodwill, on our way to the nearby mall.
5. Fake pearls and some cute earrings from Claire’s, where I got my ears pierced! Until yesterday I only had the 4-gauge piercing in my left ear, but I wanted to wear regular earrings too. I normally would prefer to support a local piercing shop, as I did with my gauge, but going to Claire’s to get your ears pierced at the mall just felt like a girlhood ritual I wanted to indulge in - plus, cheap jewelry!
6. Some lovely presents from a couple of my BFFs who were part of the girl-gang for the day - earrings, pins, a bracelet and a loooong necklace!
