After work, I met up with my friend A.J. and set out to metro Detroit to do some shopping. He's quite the fashionable dude so I snapped some photos of him in my parking lot. He's off to Nashville next week to pursue his dreams (and fine tune his singing/songwriting skills) with the help of an established studio who helped Mutemath get their start. So exciting!

Not sure what I'm doing..But later realized it was a mistake to wear the faux fur vest inside at the mall. I was overheating and sweating profusely as we power walked through the mall.

We stopped in Birmingham first. There's a super cute boutique called Lexi Drew. Unfortunately, many of the same items I already saw a couple months ago were still there. Lots of dresses with lace and shoulder pads..love! We stopped at Caruso Caruso where I found an oversized thick knit sweater for half off and AJ found a vest. Next, we went to Somerset. I didn't even know this mall existed until three years ago. It's huge and filled with fab stores. I made several purchases that I'll hopefully have picture posts for in the next couple days.
