At least she didn't tell you that you weren't filling it out, lol! Now that's an SA whose card I'd like to have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-ppp-saved-by-the-sales-lady#post-723993 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 01:21:03 +0000 Suz 723993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She deserves an award. WOW. And good for you for asking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-ppp-saved-by-the-sales-lady#post-723987 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 01:17:37 +0000 JR 723987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is so great! Sometimes I ask a SA about something when I know there's a problem, just to see if she will BS me. Then I know whether to trust her or not.</p> <p>I have been muttering "Don't shop an imaginary lifestyle" like a mantra when I go out. I would love to play dress-up more often, but where would I wear it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-ppp-saved-by-the-sales-lady#post-723674 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:18:40 +0000 CocoLion 723674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great story, thanks for sharing!

I hate it when I'm not asking for an opinion &amp; sales people keep giving them saying how great something is. I know it's their job to sell so I don't expect the truth necessarily but I would prefer to be left alone to judge for myself without the pressure or barrage of comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-ppp-saved-by-the-sales-lady#post-723651 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 20:02:43 +0000 Gaylene 723651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PPP stands for Patient, Picky, and Practical.</p> <p>This phrase was coined, if I remember correctly, in this thread asking Angie if she ever made buying mistakes when she shopped.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/personal-question-for-angie" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-for-angie</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-ppp-saved-by-the-sales-lady#post-723639 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 19:50:13 +0000 Isabel 723639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG....how hysterical.

I hope she gets lots of good karma in place of a "lie to me" sales commission. Wish there were more like her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-ppp-saved-by-the-sales-lady#post-723584 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 18:50:17 +0000 Gaylene 723584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They should clone that saleslady! I always hate it when I see something like that at the back with a saleslady telling the person how wonderful the item fits. Makes me want to leave the store without buying anything myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/remember-ppp-saved-by-the-sales-lady#post-723576 Mon, 17 Sep 2012 18:45:23 +0000 unfrumped 723576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been really trying to follow PPP in the past year, for new purchases and re-mixing, since I think that is a key to my enjoying my wardrobe more.</p> <p>But…I…have…LAPSES.</p> <p>The other day while shopping—returning some shoes, actually, which were not PPP—I looked at some cashmere sweaters. Came in a luscious color for me and a good neutral color. Had a perfect, kinda high V-neck, which I like, so as to not have yet another item that requires a tank top under. Nicely fitted through lower torso. But, it was baggy under the arms, more so than you’d expect for the rest of the sizing. But…. the color… and the rest of it… and the price was good….Maybe I could just get the great-color one, since I’d not found that color before. I was already rationalizing my trip to check-out.</p> <p>Then, like a drug addict who still has a job and family and some grip on reality and who is looking for a lifeline, I went out to the BIG mirror. Flagged down a saleslady. Errr—do you think this sweater is kinda baggy here, or is it just…roomy?</p> <p>She looks. She pronounces, “It’s cut weird!” (Bless her for her wording!). She grabs a giant fistful of cashmere between my shoulder blades (which I can’t see too well in the mirror) like I’m a wayward kitten. “There’s all this back here too! ---It’s not for you. I'm sorry; I could lie to you, but I won’t.”</p> <p>I breathe the air of freedom. I place sweaters back on shelf.</p> <p>If you wait, it will come. </p>
