LOVE this Tory Burch orange wall!

Where did these linebacker shoulders come from???  O.O

T-Shirt – Tommy Hilfiger V-Neck Favorite T; Jacket – Leather Jacket (gift from sister from Korea, similar style here); Pants – LOFT Outlet Store Modern Skinny Corduroy (similar); Shoes – G.H. Bass & Co. Outlet Black Flats (old); Scarf – Old Navy Oversized Plaid Scarf (in store only)

If there’s one thing Florida is known for (other than Disney…Universal…Sea World…Busch Gardens…the beach…Miami…okay, it’s known for a LOT of things), it’s the amazing shopping opportunities it offers.  Everything from high-end shopping malls to massive outlet malls, there are SO many options!

InChul and I headed to the International Plaza and Bay Street shopping mall (a large, upscale mall in Tampa) to seek out a red iPad Air cover for his mom and to peruse the shops.  When they say upscale, they aren’t kidding.  With our meager administrative assistant/resident physician incomes, it was very unlikely we could afford much in this mall (with its Coaches, Louis Vuittons, Tory Burches, Neiman Marcuses, and Nordstroms).  I’m not sure I would ever feel comfortable purchasing things from such stores as these on a frequent basis, even when my hubby starts making his alleged “big bucks”.

I don’t even have the courage to enter some of these stores, pretending I have the ability to purchase something without needing to declare bankruptcy.

…here’s an example of such a store…

Will make an appearance on this blog in the VERY near future!
