Last night I was out doing a little shopping and stopped by Macy’s at Alderwood Mall.  Knowing my daughter, Ashley, is still trying to find something to wear to her American Idol audition on Tuesday, decided to check out the sale racks.   

I found a couple of dresses that I thought might fit and that Ashley might like and pulled out the phone camera and sent her a pic of one of them.  She called right back with a “That is SO CUTE!”  So I knew I was on the right track.

Calvin Klein optionI have to just publicly thank the darling sales associate, Ayse, who actually agreed to TRY THE DRESSES ON so I could get an idea of how they looked and if they might fit.   She is a little shorter/smaller than Ashley – but it was so helpful!

Cute Nine West numberI took pics and sent them to Ashley – and with Ayse’s help we determined that the black/pink/white Nine West dress would probably fit (and looked much better on).   And at 75% off, I couldn’t pass it up.

So I popped it in the mail late last night – keep your fingers crossed it arrives on Monday… and that it fits!

Have you ever had a sales associate that really went out of their way to be helpful?

What a sweet sales associate! Perhaps that dress coupled with Ashley’s amazing talent will be a winning combination! Now for the shoes…

I can’t wait for the dress to get here! It’s really cute. Shoes- I believe I’ve found some really cute ones to match with it at Payless. I was hoping to find some hot pink ones, but honestly, how often will I REALLY wear hot pink shoes. So I think I’ll stick to black/white shoes 🙂

What a great dress, I know it’s going to look terrific on Ashley. Allison, what a super mom you are, where do you get the energy to do all that you do? Oh wait, you are years younger than me.

LOL, the dress is cute, but what I love is you asking someone to try on dresses for you…perfect.

Cute! That dress would look cute with a thick black belt too!

Well – it arrived, but was a bit too large in a couple of areas and with the auditions early in the AM, not enough time to do a decent alteration…. so back to the drawing board (or, back to Macy’s to exchange it)
