Hi Ladies!!!
As many of you know, I finally ordered a "real" dress from Pearl's Place in February. When they confirmed my Casablanca dress order, they said it wouldn't arrive to me here in CA until the 2nd or 3rd week of June, which of course nearly put me in a panic as I leave for Maui July 17th! The gentleman I spoke to said for me to relax, and that if my dress hadn't arrived by June 1st, to give them a call and he would track it down. Huh?
I happened to call on May 22nd to just touch bases with them and see if there was any update, and the lady said that no, I was wrong and that my dress wasn't even scheduled to arrive in New Orleans until at least the 3rd week of June.
Lo and behold, a week goes by, and I hear NADA! So, I called again this past Friday. The man who answered the phone happened to be the one I spoke to previously and I again explained my dilemma. He put me on hold for about 5 minutes, then got back on and was hemming and hawing and basically driving me insane.
He then says, "Ma'am, I'm sorry nobody returned your call on Thursday, but your dress should be arriving to you in California on Monday!" He said it had arrived to them on Thursday and immediately went out on Friday afternoon. I was beside myself with glee, so much so that I of course forgot to ask for any pertinent details and went on my merry way. After I came back down to earth, I called back and asked for the carrier name and if there was a tracking number. Sure enough, UPS is scheduled to deliver it tomorrow, June 2nd!
I am afraid that they might try to deliver it during the day while I am at work, but I already left a note asking if they could try my neighbors on either side of me in hopes that they can sign for it, but if not, I left what time I would be home by and if they couldn't try again, to please leave it at the UPS facility in the next city for me to pick up on Tuesday. If that happens, I would have to try to make it up there between an afterschool class I teach that day and our pre-marital counseling session at 5 that night, but I'm thinking that there's hope that it could be in my hot little hands by TUESDAY! I couldn't wait to share my news with someone, and since all of you have been there with me through all of my dress trials and tribulations, I of course I thought of you ladies!
Please keep your fingers crossed that UPS is late tomorrow (so that I can make it home in time!), and if I do get it, that it FITS reasonably well with little to no alterations needed. I'll be sure to come back and post lots and lots of pictures as soon as I get it!
Now we can start thinking seriously about shoes and jewelry...woo hooo!
I'm still jonesing for some fuchsia wedges, but need to know how high my heels need to be with the dress!
Here is a pic from my 3rd try on in a too big dress with some of the green amethyst jewelry I was considering wearing...hard to see, but what do you think? I was going for a sorta vintage vibe on the jewelry.
