The one where I mortified a Target employee...

So, as many of you know, my lovely sister was married last weekend!  Yaaaah!  As the 4 bridesmaids (myself being the MOH) are 4 different heights and shapes as well as the wedding being planned in THREE months, she decided that rather than TRY to find a single dress that both looked good on all of us and that we all felt comfortable in - she was content for all of us to buy our own dress as long as it was the same color (navy)..

Here is a pic of me in my dress choice:

Strapless.  So, two days before the wedding on a Thursday night, I decided:  Hey, I should try on the one strapless bra I own and see if it works with the dress I will be wearing in less than 48 hrs... AND?  No, it did not work - the strap was too large causing it to slip and peek out from under the dress when pulled up.. OFF TO THE MALL I ran!!

I am going to say this:  La Senza, when I try on a bra in my size that is so padded that I cannot fit my BOOB into the bra,  AND it sits 3" above my boob due to said padding this is probably a design flaw.  I ended up finding a normal old strapless there, but these padded deals - hoooo boy.

So, as I was leaving the mall I crossed through Target and out of curiosity decided to pass through the undergarment area to see if they had any strapless... it was there I found the clearance section.

Bras on 70% clearance - hello $5 cute bras!  It's not like bras EXPIRE, so I decided to stock up.. 4 clearance bras for $20?! Yes, please!  I also passed by the athletic department and scooped up a Champion  t-shirt which I thought was on sale for $9.09.    Off to pay I went!

Seeing as it was 9 pm at night, there was ONE cash open - being manned by a young male.  Oh Lord. 

The poor boy took one look at me and the contents of my basket and I could see the panic in his eyes.  The shaking boy grabbed the first bra and rang it in 4 times in a panic..  FOUR TIMES.  To which he swore out loud..  Target seems to be VERY poor about having proper prices ring up in the register (especially for sales - watch your bills, ladies!) so I had to remind him EACH BRA he nervously handled that the price was ringing up incorrectly... When it came to my t-shirt, the price rang up at $12 - I mentioned the sale price I saw posted (I think) and he panicked again: "I am not sure it's on sale.. What did you think it was?  Well.. whatever!  IT's all good! I'll give it to you anyhow."  and knocked off the price (The shirts are now on sale this week for $10 so I think I read some really wrong sign - and side note, I decided to buy another two of the shirts as they are also great as work t-shirts and they rang up incorrectly AGAIN and the cashier (a different store as well) simply said: "What was the price?" and took my word for it...) 

So, that is how I mortified a young teen aged boy at Target but scored some cheap bras!  

Happy weekend all!

Wordless Tuesday

The weekend was truly blessed.  ♥

Beginnings.

Hello!  I am alive!

 

I apologize for my lack of ANY posts in the past while - my sisters wedding is TOMORROW (!!!!), so assisting with the planning and events like showers related to that have kept me INCREDIBLY busy!

 

I am actually SHOCKED the BIG DAY has arrived so quickly - the rehearsal is this evening, and tomorrow should be a whirlwind starting with hair first thing in the morning.. WOW! 

Side note:  I decided two nights ago (I KNOW) I should probably TRY the strapless bra I own ON with my dress - and low and behold - it wasn`t a good fit.  

Off to the mall I went last night.. Here I will go on a little tangent... If someone can tell me HOW this works, please do:  La Senza has some strapless bras that are SO padded (with padding that cannot be removed), I couldn't actually FIT my boob into the bra.  It was like taping 5 inches of padding over top of the gals.  What the?? How is this a look??  I DID ended up finding a normal (over priced) plain old strapless bra there.. but c`mon.. WHO is wearing these cast iron bras?

 

Secondary side note:  I had gone through Target looking at strapless bras and ended up buying several clearance bras at $5 a pop!  HELLO BARGAIN!  Unfortunately, the ONE cashier (this was 9 pm at night) was a young male who panicked when he saw a pile of bras and rang one in at full price 4 times.. Poor guy :)  But I digress...

Combine  all of this wedding bliss with what ended up being a VERY action packed summer- blogging has fallen to the side!

 

I shall return soon!
