buy buy buy!

I know what I want to do. I have 0 idea of how to get it, but it came to me just now and I think it's a swell idea. Here's the setup:
I went shopping with my dear mama the other day with gift cards a'blazin. Naturally, I drifted towards my favorite store with specific "necessities" in mind and every intention of stretching my $20 as far as it would go. Here's the thing: stores obviously go through "seasons" or...style seasons rather, and what I found was disappointing. Tribal prints are rampant. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a fun print every now and again, but this was insane. There was no where to turn but tribal and my head was spinning with zigzags, stripes, and geometrical shapes! The colors were ranging from cream to blood stain red...and that's it. The in-betweeners were somewhere between plum purple and wheat grass green. As I walked around the store straining my eyes to find that "it" item i realized that despite the attempt at a themed style season, the "theme" meshed with other themes, which confused my brain, and made me jump between retro 1950's school girl-style dresses and tribal printed rompers. Ay!
SO here's what I have decided to settle in with: I will be a buyer for department stores (ie Nordstroms, Forever 21, H&M, Old Navy etc..) because there are too many a'times where I've walked into a store and literally thought W.T.F. There should be some sort of option for individuality so that we don't have six thousand Pocahontas' in rompers wedgie-ing about the street. Now, I'm not "Miss Style USA" over here, but I have an eye for it. I have ideas about what people would like to see and what items stores just shouldn't even bother with like mustard yellow and brown color combinations hanging loosely off a hanger. Just sayin'. My future endeavour as many of my fellow acquaintances wrote in my yearbook, will be to buy for department stores. There you have it boys and girls.
