Payless was my primary shoe store for girl and boy shoes... not so much its brick and mortar stores, but its online store where I could almost always finds sizes not available in person.
Too bad!
And then there was this e-mail I received on Sunday...
I hope you do not mind a little constructive critism.....
IMHO I think you look better with your blond wigs rather than the redish (?) Shown in the recent pix. I know you have been dieting and have reportedly lost 20+ lbs but I think that you looked MUCH better when had a little more "meat" on your bones. I know you think you look better, but to me, you appear like you have been sick, with very little color in your face, arms and legs; you look a little gaunt and malnourished.
Your recent weight loss promoted a new wardrobe but to what extreme. I think you looked so MUCH better when you were wearing a size 14 with all that it entails. You mentioned that because of your weight loss, your high heels have become more comfortable for long term wear.....I can appreciate that fact but is it really been worthwhile?
Recently I've lost about 15+ lbs but the only thing that has transpired (to me) is my flabby lower tummy and muffin top have gotten very soft and "jiggly" which resulted in the need for more controlling shapewear. I still wear the same size.....20W ... skirts, dresses and pants. Acquaintances say I've gotten crabby and preoccupied with weight loss.....saying "... it will make me fat". I hope this has not happened to you.
Anyway.....just my opinion...I think I'll go back to bed.

Stock up with shoes... they just announced that Payless is having a going out of business sale at all their stores, I might even look for a couple of pairs.
ReplyDeleteI am sad Payless is 'going down the tubes'. I have found many good deals on size 13/14 gurl shoes. I do recommend you try Shoeshow.com Free shipping for orders over $50.00 AND I have the shoes shipped to the store (my option for discretion), then I try them on while in the store (or not) and any returns are done immediately, on my credit card.
ReplyDeleteNEVER any 'negative waves' about being CD-TS by ANY of the clerks there. You aint the first, you wont be the last c-d'er in the store. Relax and enjoy the moment.
YES, Stana, you do really 'rock it' as a blonde. I was not wanting to be 'the first' to mention it.... In spite of my namesake, Velma Dinkley being a brunette, I too look better, younger (and YES, I do have more fun!) as a blonde (blonde beats grey pattern baldness,buzz cut). Velma
Blond is trending as my preferred hair color!
DeletePayless will be back in some form, just like Toys R Us.
ReplyDeleteIf nothing else, the kids brands are too valuable to let wither.
Stana, where is the photo of Richard O'Brien from? I know he's the creator of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. If this photo is from a movie I'd like the watch it
ReplyDeleteThe photo was from a photoshoot: https://tinyurl.com/y5e3c8e9
DeleteI think you are an attractive woman and the weight loss is not too much. You look great as a blonde, it just lights you up so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Connie.
DeleteI stopped at the local Payless yesterday and they were on storewide 20% markdown. They had better deals when they weren't going out of business lol
ReplyDeleteWhile their shoes are more expensive (aren't everyone's?)than those at Payless, Long Tall Sally has shoes in large sizes. I might add that their "Tall" tights are REALLY TALL! And it's nice to have a long sleeve top in my size that goes all the way to my wrists.
ReplyDeletewww.dsw.com also have women's shoes in "extended sizes" up to size 13 widths up to extra wide.
