DISCLAIMER: GLEE AND THEIR CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME.
Sunday
A/N: Okay so, the way I write is sort of weird, it all depends on my mood and idea flow. So I have a plan for each day, and I was planning on doing one week for each chapter, but it's starting to look really long. I've started snippets for each day of the week...so although some days are really short, I'm going to post each day as a chapter. This way you get chapters faster. Hopefully I'll have Monday and Tuesday done later today.

It's 12PM and Rachel has finished eating her lunch consisting of a garden salad. Letting out a sigh as she continues to brainstorm ideas for her next gathering, the phone in her pocket begins to vibrate.
"Who could that be?" she wonders, feeling a tickling sensation in her heart. For some reason she expected it to be someone else, but of course it was from a certain feminine boy from Glee club.
Rachel, honey, you up? -Kurt
Of course I am, I always wake up at 6AM, unlike the average teen who wakes up around lunch time. - Rachel
Anyway, meet Mercedes and I at the mall in 30 mins. -Kurt
Sure. -Rachel
It made her nervous, very nervous. She'd never been shopping with anyone besides her fathers and she knew exactly what Kurt and Mercedes had in mind. Surely her argyle and affinity for animal sweaters had been their target, but to be honest, no matter how out of fashion they were, she liked it. However, she wouldn't mind to have more of a variety. Rachel decides then and there that she wouldn't accept everything they suggested, that she'd always have a word in it.
Afterall, a properly dressed Rachel Berry wouldn't exactly be Rachel Berry, now would it?

"Hey hot mama!" it seemed to be Mercedes' favourite greeting for the smaller girl.
As Rachel approaches them, she feels a little self conscious of her outfit. She wore a striped, short sleeve hoody and a jean skirt for the occasion and was relieved when both Mercedes and Kurt didn't make a comment.
"Let's get started or else we'll be here all day," Kurt says quickly before grabbing Rachel's arm. "Oh, that store first!"
The Berry actually has never had experience with shopping for longer than an hour on clothing. She never really put much thought into the sport, simply picking what she liked and finding a size for it. It felt like such a chore for once as she, Kurt and Mercedes split up to find suitable outfits for the girl.
"I don't know about this," Rachel mutters as she went through a rack of clothing.
Kurt who was about a metre or so away from her gestures with his hands, a sort of wave, "Don't worry about it, Rachel. I swear this won't be like last time."
The young diva's eyes widen at the memory of the last make over she had gotten from Kurt. But after so long she learned to trust him again, even though the two didn't always agree. Plus, Mercedes was in it, and although they've argued over solos before, there wasn't much question to their relationship.
Ten minutes later and Kurt shoves Rachel into a dressing room with all of their choices from the store. The store clerks were more amused than annoyed at the joint effort. Mercedes and Kurt however looked determined, as if they had some other purpose planned behind this all.
First Rachel came out with a simple, black, v neck shirt that fit every curve on her upper body, but the drop wasn't so low that she looked like a hooker or something. The jewish girl was never ample in that area anyway, there was no point in attempting to focus the look on them. Plus, Rachel would never wear something like that, no matter how clear and evenly tanned her body was. On her bottoms were just your normal, every day jeans. Of course they weren't normal for Rachel but she didn't mind wearing them every once in a while.
"What do you think?" she asks simply, accessing their looks.
Mercedes was very pleased with the result, having chosen the outfit herself, "I think the simple look suits you, Rachel," she says simply, earning a very confident smile from Rachel.
"I'd like to ask why you don't wear jeans often," Kurt mentions afterwards, giving his own nod of approval, "With this, you can easily see your figure and I'm quite jealous but your butt has a great shape."
Rachel blushes at this notion before heading back in for another outfit.
This continues for another half hour, Rachel ending up buying only one third of the chosen outfits. Two of Mercedes', two of Kurt's and only one of her own. Mercedes's outfits being the first one she tried on and a yellow off the shoulder top paired with a black tanktop inside to wear with faded jeans. Kurt's outfits consisted of a long, striped shirt that she could wear with whatever skirt she had that matched and a cute camisole along with a pair of jean shorts which apparently Rachel also lacked. And the outfit the Rachel got away with was plain black vest to go with whatever dress shirt she was wearing and a yellow skirt.
But they weren't done, not even close.

It was 6 o clock and Rachel decides that she's had enough. Carrying a heroic amount of shopping bags, she awkwardly bids Kurt and Mercedes farewell before heading into her dad's car.
The second she gets home she spends an hour organizing her closet before eating a quiet dinner with her fathers, who had come back from their weekend trip.
Rachel! Make sure you wear my outfit at your party. -Kurt
Don't listen to that silly boy, Rachel. Wear mine. -Mercedes
Apparently, though tired, she looked very happy. And it made her parents happy.
