{life} FFFWeek Curves at Sea…

last week i went back to my heart home, nyc to take in some of the FFFWeek events.

as always, just being in nyc changes everything about me and revitalizes me.

the back story is that i was having a dress made for the occasion and the person making it for me told me it would be ready on a particular day and it wasn’t and although i was annoyed about it, i let it slide because she insisted it would be ready the next day. i was under a time crunch that day and told her so at 10 in the morning, and lo and behold, she calls me at 6:20, 10 minutes before we were supposed to meet saying she was still working on it. needless to say, i was done. i told her, i will pay for it but i will never wear it and that she could keep it.

the whole situation was just such a disappointment.

i was excited to work with her because:

1. she’s a young woman and i love supporting other women and
2. if this went well, hell i could design and have all the custom pieces i wanted.. WIN!

so thank you Loft, for bailing a girl out. mind you, i rarely ever walk into Loft, so it was just meant to be and another example of how you always need to TRY THINGS ON, even in the non plus size section/stores.
