Shop ‘Til You Drop: Independence Day Shopping

June 29, 2012 by Kendra Sommers

Well, I certainly have a lot of shopping to do for my Independence Day celebrations. I’d just washed virtually all of my red, white and blue clothing to freshen it up. When I went to take it out of the washer I discovered – quelle catastrophe – that a well-meaning houseguest had put it all through the dryer! My flag minidress, my stripy sweaters, scarves, the works! Luckily I have two weekends to celebrate our nation’s birth – and shopping – this year! (And wearing that minidress out late at night might just score me some free drinks.) Let’s put some fireworks in our shopping out there!
