This I know to be absolutely true: there are only a few people with whom you can shop. Not just anyone will do when you need a pal for a day of shopping. When you are looking for a special outfit, a pair of shoes or a new tchotchke for your home…you must be accompanied by a trusted friend, not merely an acquaintance who has not passed the test of time.
Group B consists of three Sistah-friends who are so much fun when we shop, that we might pee our pants from laughing so hard. We go antiquing, we shop in thrift stores, we help each other choose gifts for our spouses, but we know what is first and foremost of importance: “Where are we going to eat and do they serve wine?” In fact, we have been known to just skip the shopping and have an early lunch!
Shopping? Don’t go it alone!
