a post for b



well... seeing as it seems b is the only one who follows my blog (and gets real irritated that i never update it and its his homepage ;) i decided to make a post about a little of happenings in life.


first off here are some ugly things we are now selling for outerwear at a&f. obviously they will fly off the shelves when i put them out this week. maybe.
lizette modeling what is either a homeless persons tent, a native american afghan, or a work of art by a blind knitter.


margaux is about to streak through the store... and yes she is wearing a xsmall. dont get me started on a large.

yeah... so there is a taste of the day to day.

in other news b can you please come to utah soon? ok? ok. i'm obviously going crazy here.... look at the merch i deal with everyday. you dont even want to know about the customers ;)

lastly a story about a crazy lady that came into the fitch. i have loads of these and they probably will make my blog posts more lively and reader friendly.

on a weeknight during school, a lady around 35 came into our store probably about 8. this was of no stress to me because we close at nine on week nights and why on earth would anyone stay in our lil store over an hour right? wrong. first she asked me if we have a 360 degree mirror. umm sorry to break this to you but you are currently not shopping at saks fifth or a victim on what not to wear so no. "what about a hand held mirror" no. "well does this fit me ok" *stands back, i wait for her to turn... and no she just meant from the front... isn't that what regular mirrors tell you.

9:05 music shut off, doors locked lady still in dressing room "can you get me a tank in every shade of grey you sell" oh not that grey is one of our three core colors and that is half of the store.

9:09 "will you take the sensor off i cant tell how this fits" no. against policy. no. "i need this sensor off. i will come sit behind the cash wrap let you take it off me and walk me to a mirror before putting it back on" .......... wait... what????

9:13 "will you get me this exact shirt in the exact size so i can see if it hangs or fits differently" um i hate to break it to you but as a mass producing retail store... non of this crap is hand made and done on its own pattern... did i mention- mass produced not custom made boutique...

9:19 (at cash wrap) "this stuff doesnt make me look like i'm trying to hard to be young does it?" buying" button down plaid shirts, plain dark denim, dresses. wearing: a bedazzled graphic tee and true religions. you are worried about what you are buying?

note to consumers: if you have kept me past close this long, i will not try to talk you out of purchasing the items you spent over an hour selecting. just buy them. even if i hate them i will say they make you look like blair and sabrina mixed in with a little aphrodite and a pinch of extra sass. also... a&f sells a lot of grey. oh and in retail stores an identical shirt in two size mediums will fit identically. just to save you some time.

ha ha oh what a life.

xoxo
