Heard you're new in town. Want someone to show you 'round?

Rachel came down last weekend, and I had a blast hanging out with her! We had dinner at 24-Hr Mini Gourmet, went to the local rich mall and the super-rich mall, saw a Sharks game, had really delicious breakfast at Naglee Park Garage, shopped at Ross, and indulged in yarn at Purlescence. Despite all the stuff we did, we managed to fit in viewings of 'Barefoot Contessa' and sleep!

This is how I looked on March 6, for our big shopping day in San Jose and Santa Clara:

sweater: Ross.....top: Ross.....denim leggings: JC Penney
socks: Target.....boots: Bakers Shoes

For those not in the know, the rich mall in my area, Westfield Valley Fair, is in both San Jose and Santa Clara. It's just that huge. Across the street, most definitely in San Jose, is super-rich mall Santana Row. Because the parking situation is crazy at Santana Row, it's easier to park at Valley Fair and then walk to Santana Row.

Old Navy is located at Valley Fair, but it is not attached to the mall itself. I guess they want to keep the riff-raff out? Well, we definitely hit up that store for bargains. I tried on a bulky-knit dolman shrug, but ended up buying two boyfriend sweaters for a grand total of $25.00. Rachel already had that shrug in gunmetal grey, so she bought it in black.

This is how I looked wearing that shrug:

Go, Sharks!

It was also free beanie day at the Shark Tank.
