I still hate shopping - and I had the kids at SCHOOl yesterday when I twirled through the mall! <BR/><BR/>Crepe pants and funky jacket... Check.<BR/><BR/>KSKim Rossi Staglianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687828526726281119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-1168437571682334922007-01-10T08:59:00.000-05:002007-01-10T08:59:00.000-05:00Hi Kim,Ah,the dreaded dress dilemma!

If it's an evening wedding, consider wearing a top over a pair of great-fitting crepe pants. I have a collection of brocade jackets that I've bought in Chinatown over the years. You know, the ones with the frog closures and Mandarin collars. I've worn them to black tie events and they always receive compliments. They look like a million bucks but my most expensive jacket cost about $80. The least expensive was about $60. They're sophisticated and unique, and you'll receive many compliments. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-1168412265032452612007-01-10T01:57:00.000-05:002007-01-10T01:57:00.000-05:00gosh, i think your writing is really boring. good...gosh, i think your writing is really boring. good luck with that book thang. practice makes perfect, they sayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-1168412175749869872007-01-10T01:56:00.000-05:002007-01-10T01:56:00.000-05:00Maybe they thought you were too cool for them?

If you showed up wearing MOM jeans, a matching denim vest, AND a clueless look...wait, that probably would have scared them off.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15397166252681075107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-1168407507822701022007-01-10T00:38:00.000-05:002007-01-10T00:38:00.000-05:00I hear ya on the hating shopping thing.

I don't even do the grocery shopping ~ my husband does. <BR/>Whatever I want, I buy online, and if I can't get it there, I don't buy it.<BR/><BR/>And how stupid are the salesclerks in that store? You would think that during a very slow time that they would be tripping over each other to get a sale. (another reason why I hate shopping.)<BR/><BR/>No panicking on the dress, tho. You will find one where you least expect it!<BR/><BR/>LadyBroncoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-1168398880209592322007-01-09T22:14:00.000-05:002007-01-09T22:14:00.000-05:00Wow.

Maybe they don't work on commission?<BR/><BR/>I remember wandering Bloomie's in New York once, wondering if Jesus had finally returned and taken all sales clerks back with him to Glory.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind words re: my story. There's a sculpted green carpet on the floor also, but I saved that for a later chapter.Mindy Tarquinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970872751327021013noreply@blogger.com
