ATX Lunch Ladies

Hmm, probably sounds better as Ladies Who Lunch, doesn’t it?

This happened yesterday. From left to right: Grechen, Megan, me (my hair is in pigtails, I swear), Sandhya, Amy, Diya, Joanna, and Anslee. It was a LOT of fun and laughs were had by all!

I felt like kind of a slob next to these lovely ladies – I had intended to go home and change before this, but didn’t get the chance. See, we went to Buffalo Exchange on Wednesday evening, experienced some truly crappy customer service, and came home without selling or buying anything – but I did spot some truly awesome pewter motorcycle boots that I wanted to come back for before anyone else got them. So I got there right at 11 the next morning, thinking that was when they opened (because that’s what Google told me, the lying bastard), but apparently not! I had to wait in line to sell my stuff. It was okay though, because the boots were still there. Of course, me being me, I waffled incessantly, and decided to get a BCBGeneration dress instead. By this time, it was about ten after, and the lunch was at twelve thirty – yikes!

So, I went ahead and went to the lunch. Then I got home and started wondering if I should have got the boots instead. Because that, my friends, is how I roll. I tried on the dress to convince myself and then in short order I started feeling itchy all over and Matt told me I looked like a Vulcan. Lesson learned: check the fiber content before buying, and don’t listen to Matt.

After which, I went back to Buffalo Exchange for the third time in twenty four hours. With the credit from the dress, plus a $5 off $20 coupon that my truly awesome friend who works there gave me, plus the $3 voucher I found in the bottom of my purse…I got the boots (Guess by Marciano for $25!), a lovely flowy tank that is super breezy, and a screenprinted knit dress for a grand total of $18 spent. HECK YEAH.

That was my Thursday. How was your’s?

    I think you look great! Sorry about about the bad customer service at Buffalo Exchange, but glad that you got your boots!

    Sandhya – I know, right! I was pretty excited!

    Corrine – why thank you, you are too sweet :D

    Sheena – as a friend on Twitter told me, the boots will probably last longer than the memories of crappy customer service ;)

    I live in San Diego and we have a Buffalo Exchange here with the very same snotty hipster sales people! I have stopped going there to trade or buy…a new place has opened here called Thrift Trader and the people are much more pleasant so I give them my business! Hope that your week is a good one,sincerely, Lissa
