Diary of a tall girl

Christmas launch

So it’s Monday morning again but unlike nearly every other week when the Monday blues started creeping in on Sunday night, I had a bit of a spring in my step today.  You see, this Monday is the Christmas launch. I always get a tad excited around launch as it means new exciting stock to paw over! This time round was no exception, LTS have gone all out with new designs, fabrics and textures.

By mid- morning the store was looking great and the flurry of customers coming through was pretty constant.  All that was left for me to do was choose my uniform, great you might be thinking except I’m a pretty flustered shopper at the best of times, particularly when trying to find something to fit properly.

 I have a love/hate relationship with picking my uniform I’m one hundred percent certain this is because I am a Gemini.  I mean the new stock is great but I’m just not sure what I will feel like wearing two weeks next Wednesday. The younger girls treat picking their uniform like it’s the 100 meter sprint, but I’m more leisurely.  Last season I picked up a printed jersey dress which I wore to death but the whole experience from start to finish took around two and a half hours.

This time round the girls had devised a plan to help in a bid to kerb my dithering and their sniggering! All Paula’s idea, she’s a bit of a whiz on the computer.  A few weeks ago she insisted on taking a photograph of me for staff records apparently! Well that’s what she said at the time.  She scanned my picture in along with all of the latest LTS products and “ta da” I had my own virtual wardrobe. I must admit, I was secretly jealous of Cher’s virtual closet the first time I watched Clueless. I was a bit dubious at first but I quickly became fascinated by the whole thing, I can kind of see how Mike spends so long playing his play station (Kind of I said)  I’m sure I had square eyes at the end of the day but I was incredibly well dressed, well the virtual me. I finally decided on an outfit within 45mins easy peasy!

 I just need one installed at home now; just think of the time I would save getting ready, my boyfriend would be a happy man!
