gonna get you sucker.

i get to the counter with my items...

me: can i leave this (leopard jacket) with you?
i decided not to get it.
sales clerk: ok, sure.
me: thanks.
sales clerk: i love this (leopard) jacket...
it's so cute...
a lot of people have been buying it...
it's selling fast.
me: you know what? i'll take it.
sales clerk: got you, sucker! ok, are you sure?

does this happen to you? do you get suckered into buying things??

with all the recent buzz about google friend connect being discontinued, people have asked to follow them via bloglovin. so i finally signed up and am happy to connect there, too.
feel free to leave your link.

Follow oomph.


azuki bean & peanut butter filled mochi.

    It's a super cute jacket, so you aren't a sucker at all!

    I love the shorts and Haha! I think it's a great decision to buy the jacket. Is GFC really gonna be discontinued? Followed you already.

    Aw, I didn't know GFC was going away. Sad...

    Anyway, I am WAY to open to the power of suggestion. I am a marketer's (and a sales person's) dream, that's for sure. But in this case, it wasn't a bad thing, I don't think...I LOVE that jacket.

    Great choice on the jacket Oomph! I have heard about GFC as well. I already follow you on BL, but feel free to follow me as well if you like. By the way, I am the most influenced person on the planet and I can fall for any slight sales gimmick. Don't feel bad, it happens to all of us.

    Love the jacket. Also I heard GFC is just going away for non-blogger users, so that's a bit of a relief.

    I LOVE this look. I am sitting here staring at the photos and trying to remember if I have a red top that would work since I have similar items of the other two.
    Great buy. I can't say I do. The scenario I usually face is either other customers or the sales clerks asking where in the world did I find item x in the store. I usually pick up stuff that look like nothing by themselves but great foundation pieces. My sister is the funniest cause she quietly walks behind me in a store and grabs 50% of what I buy for herself. And we wear the same size!

    I really liked your shorts, and the jacket looks great! I have many things in my closet that sales people "made me" buy, and now I regret cause I don't wear them. That's why I prefer to shop without any "help". I usually run the other way when I see them. They annoy me.
    Regarding Bloglovin now, I was already a follower of yours there, since I use Bloglovin to follow the blogs I like. If you want you can follow me on Bloglovin too. I hope that didn't sound like all these blogger/spammer comments that people usually leave on the blogs. So, no pressure!

    HAHAHAH! But I think you got a good jacket! Especially since it has a hood and is cut kinda sporty-- very unique for a leopard print jacket. I want that peanut butter-filled mochi, btw. Why oh why can't I find some here?!?!

    Love the jacket!

    I'm normally not one to succumb to suggestion, but I do have my weak moments.

    I have to ask, where do you get your mochi? Or do you make it yourself? I absolutely love it on the rare occasion that I can find it!

    Thankfully I tend to be pretty immune to peer pressure, for the most part. The last time I got carried away though, I came home with a ghastly 80's shirt dress. At least you came home with a cute leopard hoodie!

    Funny story about the jacket. Great sales tactic. I hope I sent the package to the right address. I sent about two weeks ago. It should have arrived by now. worried.
