So last night was the big night. I had carefully planned and prepared every detail for weeks, since I learned I was comming to Vegas.
I went online and ordered a couple of outfits to be delivered to the hotel. I have to honestly say that I got a little carried away with this part. When I checked in late Sunday night I had eleven packages waiting for me... :) (I was told repeatedly by the lady at the reception desk)
It's cold for my taste here in Vegas this time of year, plus the fact that I have lots of body hair decided on my outfit. I was going to wear a long-sleeve turtleneck sweater a skirt and tights. Both the sweater and the tights were black. Originally I found this scallop lace skirt at Target online which looked very nice on the picture and I have to say is a petty skirt, but I didn't like the way it looked on my so much, so I decided to spend part of the day Monday shopping for a skirt.
I went to more than a few places and even bought a nice, really short number at JCP on sale for like $19, and in the process found a grey cowl neck sweater for a steal.. (one never passes up such things). It was however a bit much for the occassion and as the time grew near I still was not entirely happy with the outfit!!! (yeah... I know).
I resigned myself to wearing the lace skirt and packed my stuff in a bag and headed out. I needed to stop by an ATM to get some cash for the evening and there it was... right next to the pharmacy.. a Ross! So I have a few minutes to spare and I decide to give it a last go.. There it was! A beautiful grey plaid Calvin Klein on sale for $13!!!! and it was gorgeous and felt amazing.
I headed over to Glamour Boutique for my appointment and Amy was sitting outside and greeted me very warmly. Any apprehensions I might have had melted away instantly. She has a fantastic way of making you feel comfortable and natural.
I proceeded to get dressed and Amy started working her magic. I gotta tell you that right away I knew I was in for something really special! Worth every penny! If I may say so myself I looked amazing (I'll get around to posting pics soon, I promise).
I had previously gotten in contact with Nora who told me about the Tri-Ess dinner outing and I agreed to join them. We went to an Irish pub accross the street from the Orleans. As soon as we went in, the host greeted us with a "good evening ladies, how many will you be?" I have to tell you that when I heard myself be called a lady it was a special thrill. We were four altogether. We had a very nice meal and great conversation.
A special thank you to Nora, Kimberly and Susan for allowing me to join them for dinner.
I liked it so much I already booked another makeover for Friday and a night out in the town. Stay tuned ladies... more to come :)
