Deals and Dimes

My consumer habits brought me to Kohl's in Marysville this past weekend. My girlfriend and I decided to head up north to one of the 'outlet' malls (it's really just a big regular mall in out door outlet style) to look for running shoes for each of us. On the exit we take to get there we saw there was a Khol's and a Ross we forgot about... and we <3 Kohl's and Ross!

Cheap shopping is a plus in my book when you can find decent quality clothes for a great price, and holy crap did I score big. Kohl's had some massive sale going on before they started to get a lot of their summer apparel in. Going through countless 70, 80, and sometimes 90 percent racks, I managed to score some nice looking light pullover sweaters for $5 a piece! Bonus! Add to that the two pair of New Balance running shoes for about $40 each and I made out like a bandit. The woman picked up two sweaters for about $9 each.. very good looking clothes for us both ;D

I've been growing a bit tired of the stale wardrobe I've had for awhile now. Dockers button up shirts I've had for years have been just seeming oh so drab compared to other clothes I've been eyeing. Unfortunately I'm built like a tank and have trouble finding nice clothes that taper to my build, while retaining shoulder room AND arm length. It seems that most things I find these days are built for narrow-shoulder'ed waifes.
