Shopping For a Blouse

What about trying D’s? I suggested. They have bras. We have been shopping for four hours. I want to go to D’s to find a spectacular blouse. Something colorful and artsy. I always buy myself one jazzy blouse before school starts. We drive to Store D’s. My pal looks at a lacy red and pink bit of fluff. We laugh at the price. A turquoise bra with rhinestones is $68. Red bra with bits of fake fur is $88. Guess how much this one is? I ask. We laugh. I find my colorful artsy blouse and leave happy. My friend laments the closing of Kmart Where she used to buy bras for the same price as a box of cracker jacks.

I love this: "bras for the same price as a box of cracker jacks." Deb always insisted on good, supportive bras. Nothing cheap. And, she would never leave the house without one, even when wearing a baggy sweatshirt.

Hahaha I would have loved to torment her by showing her that I never wear a bra anymore.
