You shop Where?

I got instantly giddy when I came across these "Must Have" shoes for fall

The ankle boots just scream "FALL" with the fuzzy sweater- like fabric. Plus the gold heel is just the right amount of sparkle to keep these from looking like the typical sasquatch boots I normally see during the winter months. The leather platform shoe needs no explanation: Haute!
Both of these pairs are priced under $80.00 each, and more surprising to the label whores of fashion, both shoes arepart of the "Gold Collection" by Christian Siriano for Payless.
 Now I know a few of you may be raising your nose at the thought of being seen at a store like payless,but why? If you see something you like, and it's of good quality why wouldn't you buy it? I couldn't care less about what "they" say because at the end of the day "They" don't pay my bills or wlk in my shoes :)   And like their motto says..."Why pay more , when you can Payless?"

Panty Raid

So my husband hates the fact that I wear real panties. By Real, I mean  panties that actually do something like: cover my ass cheeks, have a crotch to well blanket the "goods" ect.
  Why don't people understand that contrary to popular belief the "Thong" is strickly  for laying across the bed as a presentation  to your man. Not for everyday all day use.  Can you say Monistat?
But I digress.
Thursday, I got hold of some info, so I'm passing it on: Victorias Secret has 7 panties for $25  and this includes their PINK Collection. I personally like the  cotton bikinis by VS and the hipsters by PINK. Caution: If you get the PINK collection be prepared to go up a size. I'm a Med. in the regular VS collections, but a Lrg. in the PINK collection ( yes things have spread just a bit lol)

 I got mines, and now I have a few more real panties. And for him, some "presentation" ones as well.

Sale Going on September 1 and runs through Monday, September 5, 2011.

The Real Housewives

Today as I was cleaning my house AGAIN I got to thinking about something. How come when I watch my weekly dosage of reality TV, mainly "The Real Housewives" or  random "Wives" of this or that, I never see them doing the endless routine of cleaning that I do on a daily basis. Now I'm not saying none of them do house work, but if you're going to say a show is about the daily lives of a stay at home wife, or wife in general, let's really get real. I have yet to see  anyone from  Basketball Wives dust a bookshelf, push  a swiffer, nor less even empty a dishwasher. I wonder if any of the Real Housewives even do any of their laundry? If so, why isn't anyone showing this?

Chew on That!

Mental Delay

For the last couple of days I've been stuck in a mental rut. It's that time of the year in retail where you don't want to stock up on super summer- like  fashion, but on the other hand it's 95 plus degrees outside. No one wants to see knits regardless of how pretty it is. So I'm stuck on what to bring in, what color should it be ect. ect.
Unfortunately this puts a stall on everything else in my life. I'm the kind of person that can do a lot of things, but not necessarily with optimal results across the board. It's bad, to the point that I'm dreaming about upcoming orders and  what I'm going to display, and where. Oh did I mention that I haven't done my hair in 2 days because I can't decide on a hairstyle because I'm obsessing over what to order for the boutique.
 What is that about?  I've often said

I'ma Learn you some manners

Where are the professional people of the world?
 I just had someone call my cell phone and say "Hi, Sonja?" Now I knew I didn't know her. The giveaway...She was white, and very few white people have my cell number (just being honest). I replied "Who's calling?" "Michelle" she said. "From what company?" I answered back, "Well actually I'm looking for BLAH BLAH"( protecting the name of the person NOT paying their bills).
So now I had to let loose. First your calling my cell phone asking for me by first name as if we have some sort of relationship, better yet like we even know each other: WRONG
Then you don't wanna say what the nature of your call is, and come to find out the person you're looking for is not even me?  WRONG AGAIN
So this is how I ended that: "Michelle, I'm not sure how you were trained in phone etiquette, but it's awfully unprofessional to call someone that you do not know on a personal level by their first name. Generally, you might want to address them as Mr./Mrs. Blah or how about starting with introducing who you are, where you're calling from and then proceeding. The person you are looking for does not inhabit my home, and I am not able to speak for them, however whenever you decide to dial this number again, please use the prior suggestions given or endure another sound like this...CLICK"( me  hanging up)
Is it me or is everyone just getting too relaxed in professionalism. You go to the bank and you don't know the Tellers from other Clients, cashiers that just hand you a credit card reciept and look at you instead of saying"Could you sign this copy please?" and my personal favorite, nurses with 6 inch nails with the city scape airbrushed on them,but wanna take any kind of fluid sample from my body. Really?? Good grief, if I ever were to catch my staff doing any of these things, they'd be fired! Oh that's right, I have.
