My sister Olivia (Bebe) didn't always like me very much. For seven years she was the youngest. For seven years she was the Baby of the family. And then I came along....to bite her in the back (literally) and no one believed her. I eavesdropped on her conversations, I tried to borrow her clothes even though she was about 7 sizes smaller and I followed her for several years despite her desperate attempts to lose her annoying lil shadow. But over time, I won her over. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that she really loves me now :-) haha. She does after all call me SweetPea.
Bebe lives about 30 minutes outside of San Fransisco. She used to be a flight attendant for United Airlines, but now just flies the friendly skies each month to come visit us in LA. I'm lucky to see her often and even luckier that she is one of my biggest supporters.
Bebe is a beautiful woman with a great sense of style. She is my Jackie O....if Jackie O was the queen of bargain shopping! I've never seen someone get the most beautiful pieces of clothing for so much less than the original price. She shops with the utmost of patience.... setting up surveillance on a shirt for weeks until it comes down in price, then going over it with a fine tooth comb to make sure it doesn't have any snags or stains. She is the clothing detective that ALWAYS gets her bargain!
I gave Bebe my gift cards to Banana in early February and she came back a week or so later with some very classic items. Only one of the shirts she bought didn't fit quite like it should. It hit in all the wrong places and just wasn't going to cut it. Which brought about a new rule....If it doesn't fit or I don't like it...YOU have to take it back and get a different size or something else.
And she did just that. A couple of weeks later she brought me a super cute vanilla colored cardigan than I've worn it more than quite a few times.
She done good and I haven't bitten her in the back in a couple of weeks :-)
Thanks Bebe. I love you.
