Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Façonnable .

Even so, if you need tops, it should be pretty easy to buy some simple ones that'll go with jeans as well as with suits, and not cost that much money.

Yeah, I think I'm OK, tops-wise. I mean, it's not like I don't have all my old work clothes, which tended to be blouse-and-skirt-ish, so in real life it's not likely I'm going to suddenly need a full wardrobe of suits or whatever, but you know. Easier to worry about not having the right clothes for the new job than not having the right skills.

Edited to clarify that I did not usually wear two tops to work, but rather one top and one bottom. Shirt != skirt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I assume that's an extra service.

I don't think so. I did sign up for it when I just moved here. Not sure why I ended up cancelling. But it was under the assumption it wasn't extra.

I have no idea a) why I'm listening to my Lust playlist at work and b) why Closer (NIN, not Maxwell) is on it.

I'm pretty sure they just get a commission on whatever you purchase.

ETA: I know that the personal shoppers at Nordstrom's and Neiman Marcus are free to the customer. How they get paid in the grand scheme of things is a mystery to me.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Although, damn, are the clothes better quality.

Agreed. I don't go there all that often given the gas I have to expend to get down to San Lorenzo or wherever, but I've gotten some very nice costume jewelry there.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

ChiKat knows someone who shops there.

Yes, yes I do. Of course, she won't be back there any time soon. What with the whole under house arrest thing.

I rarely shop at Nordstroms, but they are my Favorites right now.

ohhh! In my daily obsessive checks on my bank accounts, I saw that my tax refund hit today! Yay!!!

I'm going mattress shopping. I've never bought one before. Any tips?

I'm going mattress shopping. I've never bought one before.

Now, I know I'm tired and it's late on Friday afternoon, but why did I read this as "I'm going shopping. I've never bought anything before." ??

Um, lie down and try them out?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Get a cute salesman to help you test drive it.

Medium; full-size; no pillow top. That's all I know for now.

Best suggestion EVAH!
