This past Saturday I ventured into Talbots to buy my mom's fabuloso Mother's Day gift.
My confidence was already pretty high because I got compliments on my dress that happens to be from last year in Starbucks, Joseph Beth, and a little boutique down the road all prior to my Talbot's experience. However, Talbots made me feel even more like a super model. Literally.

An adorable 50ish year old lady helped me select the perfect gift for my mom based on all the descriptions I gave her. She even allowed encouraged me to indulge in some jewelry for myself after I was so impressed with the store's new selection. Their stuff was a lot trendier and looks like it is suitable for a much younger audience than I envisioned. It was all what I would describe as perfect work appropriate attire.
However, I snagged these cute jewelry pieces...no work attire here. Instead, I went for totally frivolous items that cannot be worn in the office. Too bad I don't really have a social life.

By the end of my time in the store, I received a business card from the store manager and an invitation to "call her for drinks" as well as an invite from the associate who helped me asking if I would be interested in modeling in their store fashion shows. HA!
I had a little laugh to myself as I left the store. Who would have ever thought I'd walk out of there with a potential new career confidence booster? But, I'm totally doing it! The shows are on Saturday's and there are definite incentives...and possibly new friends waiting to meet me!
So random but I can't wait! :)

Amy- I am so glad you found my blog because I have no idea how to find anyone! I am so new at this and I am constantly asking Cassie S. Rice for help! Matt and I are living in Fort Mitchell which is about 5 minutes from downtown. I am over in HP frequently with Junior League. Would love to get dinner with you. Let's make the plans!
AMY- You are not alone. I too LOVE Talbot's! In fact I worked there for two years in High School! They have amazing clothes and some people would be suprised to find out that in 2004 they changes their demographic from 40+ to 25+ and they have been working really hard at making the store more "hip". When I worked there they even put a Will Smith song on their sound track!
Also thanks so much for your kind words the other day. I really appreciate it!
Miss you
Cassie R.
