Hello. Here is another posting of my outings. Had a chance to get a few outing in over the past month. Weather won't warm up and winter won't go away. But still get out anyway. It was raining so i had to carry an umbrella as well. I got dressed up with a white top, blue skirt and blue scarf with blue eyeshadow and a pair of black 3 1/2" heels. For the day's activities, i went to an outlet mall here in OH about an hour away and decided to take the plunge and go into some stores (partly because why not, and it was also cold outside). First store was Lane Bryant, and within a minute or so, a SA came up to me and greeted me. This scared the crap out of me as i was not really expecting that. Don't know why, but just wasn't. I don't have the voice thing down yet, but for a guy, i have been told i have a slightly higher voice than most men. Anyway, she greeted me, told me about the sales going on, i did my best to say thanks, not sure how well i did. I think i may have been read due to this, but stayed in the store anyway and eventually bought a belt, which another SA checked into for me and told me it was also on sale. All in all, a total of 2 SA's approached me and another one rang up the sale. The one who rang up the sale was probably the least social of them all. She asked my name and phone number for their computer (and i start wondering why do you need this information?), But then i realized that since my wife has an account there, i used her name so she can get the coupons and credits to her account. I had the credit card with her name on it, and she knew that, so no problems there. No questions asked, but i am still freaking about that because i had to try and speak as best as i could. it is somewhat beneficial that Lane Bryant caters to the larger woman, so i was able to find my size in a lot of stuff. Funny thing, me and my wife went back down 2 days later (me en drab this time) and i showed her a few of the items i had looked at and got her feedback. I have been in Lane Bryant numerous times with my wife, but this is the first time i have gone in myself dressed. After all that was done, walked to Dress Barn. No one approached me, the SA was busy with another customer, and i just looked around for a few minutes, and then left. Perfectly fine by me. After that i went to the Rack Room Shoes outlet store and it seemed rather empty, so i went over to my size and tried on about 10 different pairs of shoes. Funny how you can try on multiple pairs of shoes that are all labeled the same size but they all fit differently, and some don't fit at all. Anyway, i didn't buy any shoes. It was getting dark by this point so i headed home, but took a few selfies. I got another chance to go out about a week later, but that is for another posting.
