Startled Into Silence: Skinny Boyfriend Jeans, White Blouse And Nude Sandals

     Let me point something as to avoid any confusion…I’m actually writing today’s post today. It’s Friday morning right now, so this in real time my friends. Usually I write them at night so today is really yesterday and tomorrow is today…you get what I’m saying, right? Anyway, I mentioned previously that my seamstress mysteriously vanished. After putting some thought into it, I remembered that back in the day I had gone to a lady who did a fab job on this killer red trench coat I had. So yesterday I arrived at her shop with my little pile of clothing, I walked in and greeted her all perky and friendly and whatnot and you know what? She straight up verbally bitch-slapped me. I don’t remember the last time someone (especially someone who owns their own business) was so blatantly rude. I was so taken aback by it that I was speechless. I know you guys don’t actually “know” me in real life, but I think it’s probably apparent through my writing that I take crap from no one. No. One. I give back as good as I get. It would seem though that she absolutely immobilized my ability to verbally decimate someone with her evil laser beam of bitchy.
     I finally comprehended the fact that she asked if I would like to make an appointment to come back another day. I stammered and stuttered while mentally mulling over whether I should go across the counter at her like a spider monkey. In the end, I decided to make the appointment because currently I have no one else and I know she can sew well. On the way home I stopped by my dog groomer who helped me track down my beloved seamstress on Facebook (Ya, I know….dog groomer, finds previous seamstress…what??). Hey, I’ve told you, I live in a reaaallly small town area. The dog groomer is kind of like a hair salon as far as being the hub of gossip and information. I messaged said seamstress and am currently awaiting a response.
     In about an hour, I’m off to spend some quality time with this lovely new seamstress. Trust me, I’m ready for her this time. I am now impervious to her laser beam of nasty and have my own armed and ready to fire. Hopefully my charm works instead because I’d really like my midi skirts to not be maxi skirts by the time school starts.
     This outfit pretty much speaks for itself; white button down blouse, jeans, nude sandals. But I did want to mention my cute little wristlet/cell phone case. This is the pretty little culprit behind the near tragic Dairy Queen debacle. It photographed more gold, but it’s actually rose gold. I do love it, even though it’s kind of difficult to fit my Kindle into it.

First wow, Walmart for that necklace, it is amazing. Then I can feel the killer stare in that second picture so you go girl, good luck today. Like the look though. ( and I am the opposite of you, I just started doing my posts night before instead of morning of, sure makes life a little less hectic)

I know right?! They have a bunch of them and it’s kind of hard to get your brain around… I typically don’t ever do my posts in the morning. It takes too long and my brain isn’t fully functioning yet…ha! It only happens if I’m reeeaaallly tired the night before.

What a pretty look. I especially like that you tied the blouse-ends.

So today is today? 🙂 I always post the day I create something so I don’t get confused which day it is.

Yep, today was today! I far prefer doing them the night before though.

We always want what we don’t have…I’d like to have a little more activity around. But I’ve been small town my whole life and probably wouldn’t survive anywhere else. It is kind of cool that I can go to the dog groomer and say, “Hey, what happened to the seamstress?” Haha!

I agree with Dawn – this is true SoCal style, my friend! Love!

And now I’m intrigued…how, exactly, did she bitch-slap you verbally? Was it tone, words, or combo? Regardless, that’s certainly not the way to run a business. You give her what-for next time!

It was the combo pack…she came out of the gate bitchy! That was why she freaked me out…

OMYGOSH! This is your look. This is amazing on you. Perfect. I could just see you going spider monkey on her. I love that image. She was having a bad day it seems. Poor gal. I have never had anything altered except my wedding dress. They did an amazing job on it. Other than that, I just hope it fits. Thanks for being here at {*FiF*} ! ♥

hey thanks Debbie, for reading my “Wisdom” segment. Sometimes I feel too old to be posing in every post and since I can’t pose these days, I thought “Ah, what the heck, start it up now and see how it flies”. I had a pretty good interest in it. We can all learn from each other any time and we can also share our goof-ups, too. Hence, wisdom!

It’s always a great idea to share our acquired wisdom with others so hopefully they can learn from it. Bad day or not…dang was she cranky! I charmed her out of it on Friday though. 🙂

Thanks Jess! Unfortunately since I live in such a teeny tiny slice of the world there aren’t a whole lot of options. I worked my magic on her Friday though…

White shirt and jeans is a great combo!

Can’t believe that the tailor was rude to you though – I’d definitely not be going back to someone like that with my business!
