New Uniform ~ Update

Yesterday, I received a call from my boss, telling me about the infamous new uniform they had ordered for us.  Well the week day receptionist, went out an bought her own pairs of Khaki pants at Khols, but they ordered the pants for me and the said Blue Blazers for both of us.  Now, come to find out, from my boss mind you, that the Blazers look like they could fit Shaq, so will be going back.  In the mean time my new pants are in but need to be heamed before they can be worn.  Well the other lady decided to take matters in her own hands and go online to Macy's to see what she could find in the Blue Blazer.  She found it, so she's set.  I bet you know where this is going don't you?   I took matters in my own hands too, since Dilliards was having a SALE an extra 40% off marked down prices.  Don't have to tell me twice, yehaw, I'm there.  OMG, I'm hyperventilating, there is loads of awesome stuff on sale, and it's hard for me to stay focused on what I'm actually there for.

Khaki pants:  I'm going to be brutally honest with you, just like Jenny McGarthy would be.  It is so hard to find just the right pair of Khaki's because they are the one pair (aside from too tight white) of pants that show every buldge, and cellulite nuget you have on your lower half.  Not a good look.  I mean seriously Ladies, can we talk!  You know who you are and it's ALL of us, we've seen those women out and about with those pants on and said to ourselves, "What was she thinking, I wouldn't be caught dead in pants like that..."   Ok, so you do know what I mean, Thanks.  Guess what I found a pair, no buldges and  NOT on sale. 

Next the "Blue Blazer", well that was a whole other matter in itself.  I looked high and low, in and out, up and down, but the only thing that could be found was just a little too large (size 20).  Just about ready to give up, and this lady comes by, "Can I help you?"  Why not, after all she does work here.  "Do you have any Navy Blue Blazers?"  So we begin to look together, and just when all hope was lost (Argh, I'm not leaving WITH OUT MY BLUE BLAZER...), she finds one.  Beautiful I say, how much?  "$228.00 (Ugh, I grimace at what Ric will say about that), but it's marked down to $199.00 and it's a Pendelton".  You can't go wrong with a Pendelton (That's what you think lady...).  Oh brother, what  to do... OKAY, I'll take it.  Fine choice she says, you won't be sorry (HA, you have no idea).  So she's ringing up my new purchase, when all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I see it!  A Navy Blue Blazer, just my size for $99.00, but not on sale.  Perfect, I'll take this one. 

So I guess I'm set (only 1 pair of pants right now, need 2...), for work with my New Uniform.  Hope their happy.

By the way just to celebrate, I bought myself a new bottle of parfum,  ~Poppy~ by: Coach $60.00, Priceless considering what I just went through. 

Now bring it on...
