Job Searching and a Little Shopping

Today I decided to go though River Oaks Shopping Center. Here is where I went and what happened.

1st stop- Enticingly Chic- I really love this name. This boutique was very much out of my price range but had really cute things. Everything I looked at was over $150 and half of the store was on sale. I did see a really awesome white/off-white dress that could be worn at a rehearsal dinner or wedding shower...HINT, HINT... Kati, Leigh Ann, or Jill. Confession- I didn't apply, I guess I got nervous or scared. 

2nd stop- Em & Lee- I walked in confidently and the woman told me to apply online. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT! I still haven't heard back. When I own a boutique and if we ever have online hiring systems, I want to make an effort to reply to these woman and at least acknowledge that we have received their application. I bought some cute navy leggings with long tunic to go with it.

3rd stop- Hemline- They had such a nice woman working there! I walked in, asked about any job openings and we struck up a great conversation about education, why I wanted in retail, and about the store. They have only been open since November and she didn't think they were hiring because it wasn't too busy. She did give me her manager's email to send a resume just in case. I bought a really cool long necklace with a large green stone.

4th stop- La Mode Lingerie- Great and helpful staff. Lingerie places can get so awkward but it wasn't! I went in and asked about a bra I needed. I walked out with an application I need to fill out and a strapless bra. 

5th Stop- Haut Chocolat- This store has a little of everything from formal gowns to t-shirts. They are higher priced than what Kati and I would want but I did buy a top for $20 on sale! I gave my name and number and it will be given to the owner tomorrow. I might be getting a call mid-summary lesson in the morning... my principal won't mind! haha I hate teaching summary!

6th Stop- LMD Boutique- A sign outside the door said, "Hiring- Part Time." I thought this was perfect! It ended up we couldn't get the manager on the phone so I was told AGAIN to send a resume over email and they will be in touch. 

Well, that was my afternoon. Hopefully someone gets back to me. Next time I won't bring my wallet because now I think I'm broke!!
