My sweet job! :)

So as ya'll should know, I work at David's Bridal as a CSR (customer service representative) which includes things such as answering the phone, welcoming people who come in, ringing them out, assigning a consultant, etc. However, I just recently promoted to be a consultant myself!! yeayyy me!! Lately, i have been training like crazy and praying that i remember every single detail about the dresses, styles, undergarments, shoes, jewelry, veils, bridesmaid dresses, etc. It's a whole lot of info and i'm not sure if i can remember it. :( But basically, i have to persuade my brides to buy stuff otherwise i don't get paid good; cause this is on commission now...ahh! It should be fun though! And the good thing about working here is that, when the store empties out, i get to try on some dresses myself!! :) It is really fun and I love doing it. Of course i take pictures too so i can share my excitement with my blogging buddies!!

Ok, let me begin by explaining the gowns. This one is the very first i tried on. I was in love with it for a good couple weeks before i actually got to see it on me. Then when i did, i continued to love it, except for the band that goes across the waist.

And this one, it is a Oleg Cassini signature dress. Ha! I bet you don't even know what that means! (it's ok, neither do i...i should look at my training book again!)lol Anywho, being a smaller store and all, we don't get all the dresses in. Like this one, we weren't suppose to get it in, but magically one day, (by God's awesome power, because i kno He just wanted me to try it on!lol) it came in!! :) It is completely stunning and i felt almost like a Disney Princess when i put it on. Until i looked at hips. They were HUGE!!! I was shocked at couldn't believe all the weight i was gaining and realized that maybe i wasn't done with growing yet.haha.

I mean look at those monsters!! I look crazy!! Then i realized that i have never noticed my giant hips before and started wondering if it was just the dress. I showed some of the people i work with and complained. They said that every bride who tried it on loved it but hated how huge it made them look in that area. Ok good! So i wasn't the only one! And of course, in the magazine, the model who is wearing this dress is sitting on a big comfy chair, turning to the side. A genius way to cover up the flaw!! So this dress...ehhh....i still love it, but on me...not so much.

Alright, then there's this one. This was a size 0 and was still big on me. A reassurance that my hips aren't as big as the other dress made me think they were. This dress though, is a little more simple, and very pretty, but not as "Ow ow" as the others i guess you could say.

And there was one more dress that i tried on. All lace. But sadly, those pictures are on my phone b/c my camera ran out of battery. :( It's funny though. I never was into lace wedding dresses. But after working at David's, i come to see that most of the dresses that i'm falling for have lace. I never thought it'd be my style, but it doesn't look old fashioned or gawky or anything!! It's great. Then again, i don't even know if it looks good on me so if i ever get married....i'm gonna need to be taking some ppl with me for their opinions!!

Inna-get ready!! Second thought....maybe not. :(
