Monday was the start of my week without any pending midterms or assignments. Since Lapin, Spiderman, and I are headed to Summerlicious on Friday at Auberge du Pommier, I needed an outfit to wear. I didn't find any of the clothes I had at Waterloo to be appropriate for the type of restaurant it is. After our morning classes, Lapin and I hopped onto the bus to head over to Fairview Park Mall.
Both of us were hungry as it was nearly lunch time and we decided that we would eat before attempting to shop. I had a hankering for a salad, but ended up getting a souvlaki platter at Opa. The portion size was huge and I barely managed to finished it. I found the greek potatoes to be a little on the salty side so I refrained from eating them. After scarfing down lunch, we headed over to the stores stopping in almost all them in search of something business casual. Fairview really only proved to have one contender: Mexx.
Lapin and I both agreed upon a grey pinstripe dress pant accompanied with a solid purple dress shirt. I tried the outfit on and decided it was decent. I did like the grey dress pants, although I wasn't crazy about the shirt. I suppose I enjoy the neutral tones for plain dress shirts because I find that shirts that have a certain pop draw too much attention. Although getting looks is a good thing, you don't want it to be for the wrong reasons. I decided that I would put the outfit on hold until I could make a decision.
Lapin was getting a little restless and I decided that I would not get the outfit from Mexx. Although it did look alright, I couldn't see myself wearing it other than that occasion. I asked Lapin if she would accompany me to Conestoga Mall and to my surprise, she agreed. We hopped onto the next iExpress and made our way over. While on the bus, to kill the time, we played "Would You Rather..." I really enjoy this game as some of the silliest choices can come along. At first, Lapin and I stayed to the more common choices and as we drew closer to the mall, the choices became a little more erratic. I suppose the highlight of our game was the final choice. The question posed was as such: "Would you rather be a woman with a man's private part or a man with breasts? Giant ones." Just the thought of these two possibilities, more so the man than the woman, tossed us into a fit of laughter. Lapin found it hard to walk as we both were in stitches.
After we calmed ourselves down and allowed the people tossing us strange glances pass us by, we headed into H&M where we found the outfit I am going to wear on Friday. Lapin found a striped dress shirt that she thoroughly enjoyed although I found it to be "nothing special." We paired it together with beige dress pants and voila. Although the look is rather simple, it screams summer. There is a simple and subtle brightness to the whole outfit that I think will work nicely with the atmosphere of the restaurant. Having decided on my attire for Friday, we perused H&M further. I picked up a few more items including a new black messenger bag which I am currently using as my school/book bag.
Having finished digging through the racks of clothes, I headed up to the cash register to pay. I believe the lady standing behind the counter though that Lapin and I were an item. I was skeptical on spending so much money on clothing having ordered from asos.com not too long ago. Lapin argued that she'd rather see me buying clothes than my usual items of interest that will not be disclosed due to its nerdy disposition. I agreed with her as I understand how nerdy my hobby seems.
With everything settled and our Waterloo group eagerly awaiting Friday's arrival, there is only one thing that needs answering.
