Being Surrounded by mirrors...

...everyday is not easy.  It can and often does make you pick yourself apart.  I see that everyday with women in our store.

It's an amazing thing to watch women in front of a mirror...you can just see the mind working...mostly concentrating in that reflection on their "flaw"...that part of their body that make them feel...well...frankly nuts.  Funny thing...nobody else sees it!

My most hated thing I hear from a customer "That's so not me."  My comeback (works sometimes) "Try it anyway.  Nobody outside of these walls has to see you in it if you don't want them to."  I understand don't like that colour...don't like that style...but so not me?  It's like you quit...stop growing.

Had a customer come in today who I admire.  She's a high powered real estate..she just looks money.  She just has style.  Funny thing when I was working her today...she complemented me on my dress...not company brand...thrift store. A little bonding moment...but would never be able to shop her thrift/consignment stores. 

If I had my own business...she would be my ideal customer.
