Balance

Yesterday’s notice to family and friends: 

"Just when I found myself slipping/falling, God brought balance back into my life.

Literally…I was about to be laid out on my back on a sheet of ice."

I amuse myself, and others think I am rather funny. During all of my adventures, I do know thou shall not quit her day job in pursuit of a career in comedy. Anywho, the concept of balance in life brings me to this:

What I Missed vs. What I Thought I Missed 



Skylar Leather Pointy Toe Flats by ANN TAYLOR

 

Normally, my size is unavailable when there is sale on items that I love at first sight. At last, the only size available was not a Size 6. It was my size: Size 9! I decided I would wait until I got home from work to place my order. Well what do you know? SOLD OUT!

These beauties are available. One size 9 remains!  I can either Add to BAG or Add to WISH LIST, but I cannot proceed to CHECK OUT.

After missing out on my shoes from ANN TAYLOR on Wednesday, I received yet another email in my overloaded inbox. All I could make out from my phone was, “CASEY, RSVP for Tonight’s Event With…”. I assumed I was cordially invited to attend a friends and family online sale event. Wrong! After getting caught up on all of my social media forums, I noticed on Instagram that there was an OWN THE ROOM event in session, hosted by ANN TAYLOR and marie claire. I was excited and frustrated all in a flash. I did what comes natural (and might I add, one of the things I do best) – research. I discovered that the event was held in Chicago. I live among cold winds with the anticipation of more snow coming my way; however, I am not in or near Chicago. Silly me... 

OWN THE ROOM

Obviously, I did not miss the event…just my shoes. I am ecstatic that I received the email. Maybe I can work with my local stores to encourage a future event in my area.  

The pic that led me to believe I missed it! Better luck next time in a city near me...



Suggested pieces that will help command attention in the workplace. I prefer the left. What do you think? Post comments below.

Find your balance in life! If all else fails, find a great pair of shoes or an attention grabbing outfit.  

Peace, love, & blessings...
