A Byer Too Steal!

        Yesterday, I had an important meeting to attend and I knew that I wanted to look professional.  However, most of what I own is fashionable, yes, but not necessarily for the professional world.  I had very little time to prepare so I scanned my mind for every possible option and decided that I was going to have to buy a new suit jacket.  In my mind, I wanted grey.  I've never really, shopped for a suit jacket for myself, even though I already had a few.  In fact, I had in my possession a DKNY pinstripe suit coat that I love but because of weight loss, can't quite fit right anymore.  So, In my mind, I needed something grey and long.
        I went to one of my favorite stores with only twenty minutes to shop before closing time and an hour and 1/2 before my meeting and I began the hurried pursuit of my long grey suit jacket.  In this store, there is no guarantee that you're going to find anything remotely close to what you're looking for, but I've never been disappointed and that keeps me going back again and again.  I had gathered in my arms, no less than ten suits and dashed to the changing room.  Immediately, I heard over the intercom, "5 minutes left to shop and the store will be closing".   Awwwwww!! Anxiety kicked in.  I have never changed through clothes so quickly.  Out of all that I had gathered in my arms from colors of brown, blue, and grey, only 3 of them fit with enough length in arms and body.  And one of them, I was completely satisfied with.  It is a BYER TOO! suit jacket, Long, Grey, and the best part...................... drum roll please, 6.50$ after all discounts were applied. Woot Woot.  I'm lovin it!   At home I coupled it with a beautiful red dress I had purchased for just 1.00$ over a year ago and had  never worn before.  What's even more awesome, is that I happened to see the Brand tag for the dress, and it was was a BYER TOO! as well.
         I went to this meeting feeling both confident in heart, soul, and fashion and got many compliments both before and after.  Check it out.  See photos below.

F.Y.I   1)  Never give up when you have a certain image in mind
           2)  It's possible to look great and stay within your means
           3)  Good things aren't just for people with a lot of money
          4)  Confidence doesn't come with brand names but from 
       knowing you did your best with what you have
