White Plaid

A Few Important Things Were On Her List

Smiling brightly at the clerk, she asked for directions to the lingerie department of the store. As she thanked her, the clerk complimented her antique engagement ring that she just received from her fiance. Thanking the girl, she went over to the escalator.

It was a short ride up to the third floor on the escalator. She saw the sexy lingerie on the mannequins as she stepped off the escalator. Hmm, soft green was her favorite color, but she had to find something spectacular in white for her wedding night.

Thinking of the honeymoon in Jamaica she stopped to check out the bikinis. I deserve two, one white and one green, she thought to herself as she stepped into the dressing room. She loved the pale green one.

I am so glad I worked out at the gym she reminisced as she thought of how she would look in her swimsuits. She had more shopping to do. Everything fit perfectly she thought. She paid for the bikinis she chose and went to the lingerie department. She thought of John and the wedding as she went through the piles of white garments. She bought a long white gown and two short ones after trying them on in the dressing room.

Her arms are now filled with bags of purchases. She stops to look at purses. She had a pearl white evening bag to wear on her wedding day. She found a pale green hobo bag that was perfect for the hot days of her honeymoon. She purchased it immediately.

Next, a new pair of white jeans, a pair of slim black denim jeans and some leggings were added to her purchases. She also bought several pairs of shorts for the honeymoon trip. Hmm, she wondered what blouses would match these shorts. She needed a top to match the pink ones and a plain white one for wearing with the plaid shorts. It was time to head over to the ladies department. She took an armful of shirts for girls into the changing room.

She was a little hungry and thirsty now, and went into a restaurant. Sitting in a booth, she felt revived by the air conditioning. She scanned the menu as she cooled off.

She ordered a chef salad and a coke from the young girl waiting on her. She could not eat hamburgers and fries till after the wedding. She was on a strict diet to maintain her dress size.

She was a perfect size four and did not want her wedding dress to be too tight. She smiled to herself as she thought of the big day ahead. John would love her gown and the bikinis an nightgowns she had bought too. The waitress told her what was available for dessert. She said she was full and thanked her and got up to leave.

She hummed the wedding march on her way to the car and as she drove home. She had many things to do before the wedding. As she walked into the house, she saw the sun flashing on her antique engagement ring. She ran in the house to show her mother all the new garments. She shouted out that she had found all the clothes she needed.
