I just made contact with the TRI-ESS group in Atlanta and have been invited to their monthly support group meeting. That all sounded swell until I figured out that, unlike dressing in drab, I will need to have 4 different outfits for a reception Fri evening, group meeting Sat morning, PM activities on Saturday and a dressier dinner on Saturday evening! Dressed en femme, I will need to present a whole different "package" on each occasions - from shoes, hosiery, dress or slacks, jewelry and accessories!
So, Off to Lane Bryant I went (en drab) and after browsing for a while, selected 3 items to purchase. The cashier said," Someone's going to have a great Valantines Day!" So, I replied, "Little do you know". She said "Aw, come on, we both know that these are for you and that you will look great in them!" I asked how she knew and she reminded me that I had a bra fitting there about 6 months ago. "48b, isn't it?" Can you believe that she remembered me?
Anyway, she dug in her drawer and found some "REAL WOMAN" discount certificates and that gave me 30% off. After completing the transaction, she handed me another REAL WOMAN coupon good for $25 on my next purchase. She said," You're just as REAL as any woman who comes in here, honey!
Talk about making my day!!! I wonder if she knows what an effect she had on me.
I already know what I will use the $25 certificate for! I need more accessories for my outing!
