Now that Willow had a boy in mind she wanted to impress, clothes suddenly seemed a bit more important. They were never going to be a end all be all for her, and she had no plans to overly change herself in favor of having Theo be interested, but at the least she wanted to learn how to dress in a way that was flattering.
So she'd taken Isolde up on all her offers to help Willow pick out clothes and reached out to Aiden to have her join in too. Plus with both Aiden and Isolde having best friend who were male, even if Kei could be almost like a girl at time, it seemed to her like they all needed some more female bonding.
Willow was waiting out in front of the mall sitting on a bench. She pulled her phone out and texted the other two girls she was there. Then she leaned back and peered up at the clouds humming a bit to herself.

Aiden had been looking forward to this shopping trip since Willow had mentioned it, but recent events had left her looking forward to it even more. Having a legitimate excuse to not be in the dorm all day was a wonderful thing. Since it was a shopping trip meant to get clothes, she had decided to dress up in something easy to take on and off, since she'd inevitably be trying clothes on all day.
Getting down to the mall was a little more difficult than she had expected, the recent murders in the town had left the local humans uneasy, and Aiden definitely didn't blend in. Just as she reached the outskirts of the mall, her phone went off. She pulled it out of her pocket, read the text, and then sent a reply back stating that she was nearby.
Soon after that, she found Willow on her bench, and waved. "Sorry it took me so long! People are just... really suspicious these days." She sighed and shook her head. "How are you?"

A limo pulled up in front of the mall, and, a few seconds later, Isolde bounced out. "I'll call if we need a ride back, thanks, Oliver!" She twirled around to see Willow and Aiden waiting and dashed up to them. "Hi, girls! I brought the other credit card, so we're good, but I think we should definitely start at the bigger department store across the way - the boutiques will have clothing but we're more likely to find things that will suit both of you in the bigger store, and than we can kind of do seek and destroy missions at the smaller ones! And no shoes first unless you're building your outfit around the shoes and not adding them to complete the outfit."
If it wasn't painfully clear from Isolde's welcome speech, she had been planning this trip for some time - at least for her roommate and best friend's sister, Willow. She was happy to have Aiden along, too, even if she didn't really know her that well. The more clothes to get, the merrier. Or something.
"And I swear I won't do any shopping for Kei or Ask or me. Well, at least Kei or Ask. It's hard to not shop for myself sometimes. But I'll try to limit it."

Willow smiled and waved back to Aiden before rising to stand with her.
"Oh don't worry about it I didn't mind waiting." She frowned a bit. "Though not really happy to hear that's the reason you ended up being late." She heaved a bit of a sigh but before she could comment further Isolde came dashing up.
Willow blinked a little in surprise at Isolde's torrent of words. Sure she was used to it a bit being Isolde's roommate but she'd never quite.... encountered this. What was that about the other credit card? Isolde wasn't planning on paying for all this was she....
"Um... seems like you have this all figured out. Sounds good to me? I don't know much about shopping for clothes. But..." She narrowed her eyes a little bit. "I do have some money my mom gave me for this you know, and also I don't see why you shouldn't shop for yourself!" Willow smiled broadly. "We should all get outfits." It didn't seem like it would be as fun if JUST her and Aiden got outfits and Isolde got nothing.

"Oh its okay, happens every time I leave campus." She shrugged a little, then went silent as soon as Isolde arrived. She couldn't really remember if she had ever met the girl, but she seemed friendly enough... if not very, very talkative. And rich. She wasn't planning on buying all of this, was she?
"U-uhh... hello." She waved a little, putting up a bit of an awkward smile. She looked to Willow, nodding along with what she was saying. "Y-yes, you should get something for yourself, too. And I've saved up my allowance for this so, I think I'm set?" Aiden nodded a little, shifting from one leg to the other.

"Hi, Aiden!" Isolde gave the other girl a brilliant smile. "Ohmigosh, your hair and eyes are so pretty! I feel like you probably gravitate towards soft colors - do you - but wow, you'd be such an eye catcher in something darker. I know just the store for something evening-wear for you."
Isolde had actually been planning on paying for all of it, and kind of just ignored the other girls' comments about money and allowance. They should save their earned money for other stuff! Or for when she wasn't around. If they wanted to pay, they would have to beat her to the swiping of the credit card. And she was a fast credit card swiper.
"Do you two know what kind of clothes your looking for? Specific outfit or venue? Party wear? Dresses, skirts? Underthings?" Isolde waggled her eyebrows exaggeratedly, as she often did to Kei when he was "busy" with Ask for long periods of time. Underthings!
"Or is this just a let's-see-if-we-find-anything trip?"

Willow's cheeks darkened a bit at the mention of underthings. Maybe eventually she'd want to get something better then what she had but she had no need for it now. Plus it was just embarrassing.
"Um I think just general clothes? I'm not really sure. I don't have anything specific I'm dressing for though." She rocked back and forth on her feet a bit uneasily. Clothes were not a subject she knew much about, most the rest of her family had seemed to gotten that talent, dressing stylishly. It was one of the things she had in common with Edmund besides a love of being outside and growing things. They'd often exchanged looks when the others went on about something or other to do with fashion.
