Andrea announced that she needed the 'Graduation Dress' for Tuesday pictures. She told me on Wednesday and I thought "no problem - we have almost a week." Andrea, on the other hand, was stressed. So we started on Thursday. Now there is no shortage of places to look around here - we are in the middle of retail heaven. So we begin, unfortunately A is in that middle ground, not quite in adult sizes but doesn't want to have anything to do with children's sizes (or should I say styles). I'm of the opinion that you should try on pretty much anything and everything. I can't tell you how many times I've said to my kids "how 'bout this?" And they say - "eeeeewwwww, never!" Then they put it on and what do you know they love it. So it's my policy to try on anything you can find in your size. Too big, too little, too womany, too kiddy, too LOW, too not there - I could see that Andrea was right to be stressed. Nothing happened on Thursday except the one dress that we found that we both found acceptable cost 360 pounds - that's over 700 dollars folks. I said how can THAT cost 360 pounds and Andrea pointed to a little insignia on the collar made of cubic zirconia. Apparently Armani can charge 360 pounds for a little dress. Unbelievable!
Friday was the last day to look considering the rest of the weekend was packed so we decided to take along reinforcements. Our reinforcement was also looking for a dress. Now we had two young ladies who had stayed up all night long talking and giggling looking for dresses. They got tired quick but I was desperate - keep looking.
We went home empty handed.
Today, I sent out super shopper (Jeff) he plans his minutes, making sure he is in the store for the least possible time. He had exactly two hours to spend with her and in 1 1/2 hours they came home with a dress! How does he do that?
Next time Andrea tells me that it won't be that easy I'm sending Jeff in the first reconnaissance mission and I'll follow-up.
I'll put on a picture as soon as she tries it on for me...
