As for this outfit: I thought I was downplaying the sexiness of the dress by combining it with a long sweater, and boots (combat boots at that, not sexy stilettos). Apparently, I didn't dress it down enough. I actually had a customer who had the nerve to say "I didn't know you could wear such short things to work". I was taken aback at first, so I replied, "Well, as long as it reaches my fingertips it's okay". To which she had this actual response (no joke!): "Well, I would never let my daughter out of the house looking so cheap".... uh, what?? As shocked as I was that someone could just blurt that out to a complete stranger, I calmly looked at her and replied "Well, it's a good thing I'm not your daughter then". She huffed and left the store. Wow, I had no idea some people could be so tactless and rude. I actually got a lot of compliments from my co-workers, including my store manager, so I thought it was fine. Of course after that incident, everyone made fun of me all day, calling me cheap and asking how much, lol. Which made me feel better :) Boy, if I wasn't on the clock though, she would've had something else to deal with.....

Open Mouth, Insert Foot
Been super busy lately at work, which accounts for the crappy posts I've done lately. It's actually going to be a rough couple weeks as we are getting ready to do our floorset (where we change around the entire store). My schedule will be 5 am shifts all next week, all midnight shifts (yes, midnight) the following week, as well as one more 5 am week. Great, huh? So there may not be a lot of outfit posts, just depends on how I feel. Super excited to see how it looks though.
