Shopping With My Sister!

February 28, 2017 by Sharon

I don’t write much about my sister, The Suze!! I have an entire post about her in my head, but it needs to be perfect before I write about her because she deserves that!

My brother-in-law had to be in Albuquerque for business last week so I drove into town and spent the day shopping with her. We had said before that we didn’t want to spend any money and would “just look.” Funny how it never works out that way!!!

Here is The Suze!! Isn’t she the cutest!!!???
She quit work a few years ago and now her look is very casual for running errands. She also spends a lot of time helping our parents as well as her mother-in-law with appointments. 
We spent the day at ABQ Uptown. It is a nice shopping center in Albuquerque. I had never been there. I usually shop when I go back to Texas, but Uptown was very nice and we had a great time on a beautiful day.
I chose my usual black for the day. I bought this purse in California and it is deserving of its own blog post so you’ll have to wait to hear about it!!


Susan picked out this cute top and jeans for an upcoming trip to Florida for Spring Training. We said we were going to take pictures of everything we bought, but we talked so much we forgot to get pictures of most of our things!!

This is at The Loft    jeans     blouse 

I have been wanting to get a bell sleeve shirt. I saw this one and thought it would be so cute to wear with jeans. The Suze thought it would be overpowering on me, but after I tried it on, we both decided it fit pretty well!!  
The Suze started a fashion blog a few years ago and stopped doing it soon after. I’m trying to convince her to start it back up. She has a great sense of style and you would love what she puts together!!

This was my favorite non-sale purchase at Banana Republic. I love it!

I loved this at Ann Taylor
We ate lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. I usually like to eat at local restaurants instead of chains, but since I don’t know very much about Albuquerque and we were pressed for time, we chose this. It was a great lunch and of course even better conversation!!
We ended the day with purchases from The Loft, AnnTaylor, Banana Republic and Anthropologie. Not bad for a “just looking” day!!!
