For those of you who don't know...I am trying several different things as of late, one thing is a budget, the second is dressing for the job I want, not the one I currently have. With this being said...I present you Brown Sugar.
So in my attempts to dress more professionally, I recently purchased a super cute dress from Gap.com. I had tried it on in the Gap store, but it was cheaper on line (ahh....the budget!) So I purchased this adorable dress...and then decided that it would look more professional if I wore hosiery and pumps versus tights and black boots. So while at the grocery on Sunday, I perused the hosiery section. My how things have changed since I had to wear hose everyday. Those puppies are expensive. So when checking out the selection, I noticed that there were these "Brown Sugar," ones aimed at a certain type of person,let's just say the Cosby's....and they were a lot less...$1.99 versus all the others starting at $3.99 and going up in to the $7range....And there were black colored Brown Sugar hose...and I thought to myself...what a fantastic find...who cares what color you are underneath black hose....Ahh...budget!
So I purchased my first pair of Brown Sugar's....quite proud of myself...both for bridging the racial gap by buying them and by saving a couple of dollars at the same time.
And this morning I put on my cute dress and opened my Brown Sugars....Oh Lord Almighty....Ladies, I have gotten what I paid for...My brown sugars are well....much like sandpaper....and the crotch (sorry, I cannot think of a better word for it.) is about 5inches below were it is supposed to be. The sandpaper effect makes issues with tearing and catching...so I look somewhat like I have teeny tiny white dots everywhere...but that is just were the sandpapering giving a little more. And I am afraid my brut strength when pulling them up will rip them to shreads, so bathroom trips will be limited today...
And on top of that...I have a meeting with my Vice President today...which means I am going to have to go to the convenience store here in the building and buy a pair of $10 hose...and so my idea of paying a couple of bucks less has cost me more...
Yikes what is a girl to do....
