The other day, I went to Macy's at the mall to get some new perfume, and once again it was against my better judgement. I NEVER shop at Macy's normally - I think it is stuffy, WAY overpriced and, well, it's in an indoor mall (which I now hate). However, I am at the bottom of my current perfume bottle and I have a $25 gift card to Macy's. OK, I thought, I will use the Macy's gift card to get some perfume and it will be quick and painless - in and out. OOOOHHHHHH NOOOOOO.
#1 - I have a horribly difficult time picking out a new perfume - it takes me forever and I am very particular (imagine that........hahaha).
#2 - In a store like that, after you smell like 3 of them, they all smell the same.
#3 - Macy's doesn't have coffee beans there to 'cleanse your nose' in between scents.
#4 - Of course, I'm accosted by crazy-perfume-counter-lady-who-follows-me-down-the-counter-trying-to-sell-me-on-every-kind.
#5 - Said crazy perfume counter lady is wearing some sort of black catsuit thing with suspenders (straight out of clown school)
#6 - Her makeup, hair and accessories also indicate that she most certainly is a graduate of clown school - perhaps even the valedictorian of her class!
#7 - I wish it wasn't tacky to take a picture of clown-perfume-lady....otherwise I would have!
#8 - I don't like really sweet, floral or vanilla-y scents. And I won't pay $90 for a bottle of perfume - just too much for me.
#9 - So I decided on CK One - pretty neutral, affordable, and it allowed me to escape Macy's!!
#10 - I will probably be shopping for perfume back at Abercrombie soon - back to the kind I had before.....UGH.

Remember when you made the entire office engage in a perfume poll? That was awesome.
What happened to Pleasures?! I just went shopping for a new perfume myself (at Macys) and I almost left with Pleasures, its a good stand by. But Greg doesn't like it so I let him pick a new one :-) Whenever I smell Pleasures, you are the first thing that comes to mind!
Iris - YES! I do remember my perfume interrogation in the office of SeaGate. And Jeff provided the 'guy' perspective (and surprisingly, I think he had fun doing it!) I miss the Jeff/Danielle/Me/You combo - we had LOTS of laughs.
Renee - I still have a tiny, concentrated bottle of Pleasures - you're right, it's a good standby. I loved that perfume. Yum. :) PS - I love that you are reading my blog! PSS - I hope you had a BLAST in Hawaii!
