The Story Of The Pink Tiffany Gown

I went consignment store shopping which is always fun. I like those stores because you can find really unusual and nice things you don't see in regular retail shops. I had tried on some dresses in this one shop and nothing really tickled my fancy enough to buy, but 2 of the dresses were pink so the lovely lady who owned the shop noticed and asked if pink was my favorite color. I said it is yet I don't really have too many dresses in pink for some reason. She said to wait a minute and that someone had brought in some dresses the day before and one of them was a pink prom dress. She came back with this pink Tiffany prom dress so I tried it on and it fit me very nicely. There was no price tag on it and she said it had just come in and didn't price it yet. She looked up what the woman wanted for it which was too much in both of our opinions. She had the number of the woman who had brought it in for resale so she called her up and said she had someone interested in it and asked if she would consider less for it. She let me talk to the woman on the phone and she told me it was her daughters prom dress and was expensive new and in good condition. I tried to barter with her for less money but was pretty firm. After we hung up with her the woman from the store explained that people tend to ask to much for sentimental clothing pieces and usually she puts it out for the requested price but after it is out in the store for a week or two they agree to lower the price to sell it. So I gave the woman my information and she promised to call me if the consignee lowered the price at all which she was pretty sure would happen. It was a dream to try on and wear for a few minutes and I am hoping that the price does come down a little bit!
