So, the Swanson Christmas party is in 7 days... let the panic begin. Several of my coworkers are desperately searching for the perfect holiday outfit. I have a consultation on Tuesday with a coworker to look for a dress and another coworker is praying the dress she ordered online is delivered before Saturday. I just spoke with another coworker that couldn't justify paying $160 for a dress she may wear only once. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. The other night I had a coworker text me while she was trying on clothes at 3 different stores. I was sent several pictures of tops she thought looked cute - I found it easier to tell the truth and have less sugar coating in a text. The first picture she sent me was a red sweater with what I would call homeless holes in it and she asked me what to wear under it (thank goodness). First I said, 'Well, that wouldn't be my first pick out of everything in the store.' I then recieved 3 more pictures of similar shirts (ones that I would not wear) and I found myself saying, 'What's next?' I managed to talk her into buying a cute red shirt with a embellished neckline that would be super cute with the bottom she had picked out - black skirt, black leggings and black knee high boots.
As I was wearing my sweatpants and a tee shirt at home...yes I wear those, but in the privacy of my house, not in public... all I could think about while looking at her pictures was I wish I was in a fitting room! I enjoyed giving her advice about what to purchase, but it was hard to bite my tongue and not be able to grab the not so attractive things out of her hands. While hole-y shirts may look good on some people, most of those people are walking the streets on Hollywood Blvd late at night. I am more than happy to give my opinion about your fitting room photos, but be ready for honesty.
