And Citibank Called...

" Good evening, this is xxx from Citibank and we would like verify a recent transaction ". Yup, that was the call I received on Thursday evening shortly after leaving Zara in KLCC. I must say that I am quite impressed with the monitoring Citibank does, of large transactions. After all, I did spend RM 2,448.10 in Zara at one go. And no, the stuff I bought was not for me except for maybe two shirts...hehe.

A client of mine recently promoted a manager within the ranks to be a spokesperson for the company and decided to seek the assistance of yours truly to groom this person. And so, we went shopping for new spectacles, a 3-step daily facial products, shoes and of course clothes. And since I am a fan of Zara, that is where we ended up.

Here, we are pulling a range of shirts, pants and suits for this man to try. And nothing seems to work. And I tell the client, its not the clothes, its the torso. I tell you, this man does not have a proportioned torso. Or maybe its because he pulls his pants to high up. Which leaves the body looking kinda short and very long legs. And an extended waist line does not help the matter.

Anyway, after 2 hours in Zara and 4 sales people attending to us (kinda glam huh?), we were finally done. Am no magician but I am definitely happy with the choices. After all I am doing what I do best...spending other people's money by shopping.

Now, let's just hope this man is able to maintain the look we created...sigh!
