The top two picks from Nine West

A few days ago, I received an invitation for an interview this coming Monday. I decided to go to Nine West to find some spunky shoes to go with my new colorful jacket. When the sales representative from Nine West approached me in the store and asked what I was looking for specifically, she directed me to the plain black or tan closed toe pumps. I explained to her that on my interview, I wanted shoes that would speak for themselves. She was quite surprised that I wanted colorful sandals to wear to interview for the job I wanted. I explained to her how my interview went last year for Pine Castle.
My interview took place in June. I wore a sleeveless light blue dress shirt, an off-white knee length skirt, and yellow high heeled sandals. The moment I walked into the office, I received praise for my ensemble. When the administrator of the school saw me, he was impressed and I immediately stood far above all the other applicants. Staff at the school still know me by my statement making shoes. I want to make that kind of lasting impression again. Now, I know that if I were to work in another industry where I were more like a drone than a human being, plain black pumps might be appropriate; however, I am an English teacher! We're supposed to be eccentric.
I narrowed my selections to two shoes. I want you to comment on which shoe you think I bought to wear with my new big print floral jacket.


Side note: When I was at the register purchasing my shoes, I asked the sales woman what her favorite part about working at Nine West shoe store was. I fully expected the answer, "Well, I get a discount!" That, however, was not her reply. She said that she really enjoyed watching all the new fashions come in. Fashions change all the time, and new products are always coming out. She said that she particularly enjoys it when shoes which she particularly dislikes at first are shelved. She watches the shoes over time and sees people trying them on. She eventually sees what the designers see and falls in love with the fashion originally despised. I thought it was a very interesting answer. All right, now vote on my shoes.

Happy Shopping!
