As a pull into the parking lot at 7:55, I thank myself for choosing wisely. The lot is mostly empty and there just are about a dozen people at the front door, so I am betting my chances are good for a hassle-free shopping experience. But wait! The first girl in
line is all business. She speaks loudly of her excitement, and mentions she brought her camera to submit her experience to the local news as an I-reporter. I glance at the other ladies in front of me, and notice they are quite stylish with their boots and handbags and cute hairstyles. I am glad I wore my black jeans and not my yoga pants today!
At 7:59, the doors open and there is a civilized trot to the Jason Wu area. Quickly the scarves disappear (rats!) before I even get to the accessories display. I do snag an adorable straw bag trimmed in black and within seconds they were all gone. These ladies are quite polite, uttering “Excuse me for reaching.” and “So sorry- did I knock that over?”
On to the clothing- I grab a printed dress with a pearl trim at the neck, and a matching crotcheted cardigan. Then I choose a few embellished t-shirts, a striped t-shirt dress, and a pleated navy skirt with a sweet floral top with a lace inset at the neckline. I hate to leave behind that great red striped t-shirt dress so I linger a bit. Too many others were buying it, and I didn’t want to look like a Stepford Wu-wife, so back on the rack it went. With my upcoming Kentucky Derby weekend in mind I buy the pleated navy skirt, sweet top and the straw bag. I'm including a photo of my new Michelle Obama-inspired outfit paired with a cute cropped jacket and coral peep-toe shoes that were already in my closet. Now if only I’d remembered to buy those light bulbs…
