In store training today... I have been really excited!

I love the people there, the clothes, the whole store really... I guess the only thing I din like is getting used to working the whole day on your feet... but besides sore toes... it was a blast!

I must admit... I am a conservative, average pumpkin... I stick to the basics when it comes to clothes and then maybe some drastic pieces here and there. So when I was thinking of what clothes to pick out for uniform... I had in mind, I good pair of pants and a few tops...

My initial plans was not realised, and instead, Anita (who showed Dani and Myself the ropes behind making Country Road so successful) showed me a tulip skirt, and some really different tops. I couldn't believe that I could pull off such clothing... It really brightened up my day.

For an example, Country Road has this top which is somewhat pleated down the chest and falls very loosely. I have seen other Country Road girls wear it with pants and it looks soooo nice. I tired a light grey one (which is 3/4 sleeve) with this tulip skirt... and it just din look right. I looked short and stubby, nothing shaped my body... just yuck. Then Dani suggested that I tuck the top in the skirt. I was VERY skeptical, as this top is not tight fitting, and was very baggy. I thought it would bulge under my skirt. But... to my BIG surprise... it worked... = D I added a beautiful soft black leather belt to the skirt and it looked even better. Anita came into the change rooms to see if we were ok, and ended up getting me a smaller size because the size 8 looked a bit big... after that... the size 6 looked SOOO MUCH BETTER... it is amazing how something if it is the wrong size can almost turn of off a style that would look good on you if it properly fitted.

I ended up getting another top, a long sleeved black top that went well with the skirt and the belt. As I looked at the outside change room mirrors, I saw some shoes which are used for people to try on in order to complete their outfits. They were silver ballet flats, and even though they were a size 9... they looked awesome with what I was wearing... so I ended up getting that too (in the correct size).

I wanted to get another top, similar to the baggy pleated grey one, which had no sleeves; but had a little cap at the shoulder... It looked soo nice... I think I preferred it over the 3/4 sleeve, but David Jones being picky and all... might not allow it... so I didn't end up getting it.

The shift overall was really good after that. It justs demonstrates how a good shopping experience can really make someone's day. = D

Heres some pics on what I ended up getting.

This is the 3/4 sleeve, loose fitting, pleated top with my tulip skirt and belt and shoes.

Whereas this is the same outfit, just with my long sleeved black top.
(I wore this one today)

Yea... the photos are dark as I was using my mobile fone and my mirror.... the skirt is a grey colour.
Happy Happy Joy Joy!! = D I can see my money flying away >.<
