I Guarantee You

rms1954 — Tue, 22 Mar 2022 07:53:03 GMT

If you carry this purse I promise someone wil grab your arm and ask "where did you get that purse"

If you wear these shoes/boots/sandals, someone will as "where did you get those shoes;

If you wear this someone will stop you in your tracks and ask you "where did you get that outfit.

Not one person has ever stopped me and asked me those questions. Do I have a case in court? I'd be RICH .. I guarantee it.

I've had some people stop me.

A saleslady in Neiman Marcus stopped me and asked what designer I was wearing when I was walking around Fashion Island in California. She said she loved it. I told her Liz Claiborne top and pants, Perry Ellis shoes. HA! I think she expected a thousands of dollars designer.

Quite a few women grabbed my arm to see my old 60's Snoopy watch. Lol.

Mostly, stopped for my shoes.

No one stops me. Stupid sales pitch.;;;Years ago when Philosopy fragrance lasted past the dry down time I would get compliments on how I smelled from strangers. I always wored the Pure Grace. Such a shame when something you love changes.

I have a shopper tote style purse that I carried for months and I was asked many times where I got it! It had Snoopy and Woodstock on it! If memory serves me that's probably the only time someone asked me where I got something that I was wearing!

I have many times and I can easily say that I have had at least 30 people stop me and comment on Katrina's Toasty Tote. Even men stopped me and told me how much they loved my bag.

I get stopped and asked all the time about my bag or my shoes or my outift!

People even ask about my jewelry sometimes. I don't look for attention nor am I wearing anything that's very expensive. So I take it as a compliment.

I got stopped one time by a woman who wanted to know where I got my hair cut. I told her Supercuts!

I've been working telework now for 2 years. But before that, my office is in a 24-floor building, and connected to seven other similar office buildings. There are many shopping areas as well, some also connected, and some in a short walking distance or drive.

I describe this because yes, I most definitely was asked at least once a week where I got something, or at the very least, told me they admired something I was wearing or carrying. It was reciprocal, and pretty much the norm being around a large group of people every day. We notice and verbally admire what women wear. At least here. I went about my business, my work, rushing to meetings in other offices and buildings. On breaks, I went to Starbucks downstairs, and Target in the next building, etc. Yep, it was a nice normal occurrence.

But that was then.

Just yesterday, I was asked where I got my shoes (Talbots) and necklace (Linea - QVC).

I get asked a lot.

Have you ever had someone ask what scent you are wearing? In my opinion, if people are noticing your scent, you're wearing too much. There's a reason they're asking.

I get asked a lot about my bag - a Dooney crossbody. It's about 15 years old. It has bees on it. I thought it was darling when I got it and I still do.

Not so. For the first time I bought philosophy lotion in amazing grace, and I could hardly smell the fragrance. I went out to lunch last Friday and my friend sitting next to me asked what perfume I was wearing. I was wearing none, so apparently the Amazing Grace does linger longer than I think it does.

I've also been stopped mostly for the Lularoe leggings I wear, everywhere I get stopped for them.

Only when I carry my Brahmin Copa Cabana in copper, with the vintage/classic cars on it.

Women ask because they want one and men ask because they want to buy their wives one to carry at car shows.

I remember when QVC sold B. Makowsky bags and the hype was you'll always get complimented on your bag. Like others, nobody ever commented or complimented me on a B. Mak bag.

I think it is evenly split here ladies.

Yes, I DO get asked...and often....where I have gotten things.

Church, grocery stores, mall, work....

Of course it is a sales pitch. Who cares what spiel they are using ??? No big thing...and DEF no lawsuit!

I'm usually QVC head to toe.

Back in the 80s I had long hair almost to my rear end and I would get the spiral perms. I cannot begin to tell you how much business I sent my hairstylist. I couldn’t go anywhere without getting stopped at least two or three times. the best part is that I found my stylist because I stopped a woman in Macy's and asked where she had her hair done lol.

I often get compliments on how good I smell. I wear Amazing Grace. I feel like when a company sells out to a larger corporation, a lot of customers automatically assume there will be a change for the worse. That has not been my experience with Philosophy fragrance.

I had one of his TSV bags and received many compliments on it. I carried that bag for years.
