Style Me Please

A few weeks ago a friend invited me to the "Girl on Top" book tour that was being held at The Limited on October 30. I had heard of the book, that is written by Nicole Williams, so I thought it would be fun plus she also informed me that the WHOLE store would be 40% off, and there would be wine. Now who am I to pass up a good sale - AND wine at one of my favorite stores? Count me in.

Nicole's book is basically a how to guide to turning all those dating rules into career success. She spoke about how the book came about, and what her purpose to wrting the book was. I have not read the book, but it has gotten rave reviews, I plan on picking one up ASAP. I will definitely write a review.

After she spoke, we hit the dressing room to try on all our finds. I have always had a hard time finding clothes that fit my athletic build - broad shoulders, and soccer legs! Needless to day my first batch of clothes, all I ended up with was a pair of pants, which I was not completely sold on...

At the event they had a couple of The Limited's stylists that are traveling with the tour on hand. One of the girls (which for the life of me I cannot remember her name, but she did get married 3 weeks ago and her birthday was on Halloween, funny the things you remember!) came to see how we were doing, so we started to ask a couple questions and I voiced my concern, which then turned into a 1.5 hour dressing room session. It was probably one of the most fun things I have done. She gave me and my friend advice on what we should wear, what cuts, and styles were good for us, and she started pulling all kinds of clothes for us to try on. I felt like I was on an episode of "What Not to Wear." We ended up being the last ones in the store and 45 minutes after it closed I ended up with some really great pieces.

Lots of Ruffle Halter - in white

- A pair of their Exact Stretch Pant, these were the ones I was skeptical about, but after our marathon dressing room session I fell in love with them, they were cost friendly and super comfortable, I almost bought 2 pairs...

- I also bought a this jacket and paired it with a pair of Cassidy pants to make a suit, I actually wore the pants today and they fit great!

- I was also able to try on one of their jackets - the Feminine Ruffle Jacket that was coming out today, which I totally fell in love with and will be in my closet in the near future

I was really happy with everything I came away with, and even more ecstatic that I was able to turn my what started as dreadful shopping experience into a rather successful one. I feel the need to send the stylist a bouquet of flowers or something, she had so much patience with us, and was more than helpful! I wonder if I can get her to come with me every time I go shopping...a girl can dream
