The Francesca's "adventure" actually began in November, 2007. We were vacationing in Taos for our wedding anniversary and "stumbled" upon Francesca's when we got lost in Arroyo Seco looking for Taos Pueblo...we never made it to the Pueblo.
We stopped in to get directions and some of the outfits hanging on the front porch caught Vicki's eye. We went in and met Francesca. She is a woman in her 6o's that has a great sense of style and is a skilled salesperson. She is formerly from New York City, the daughter of a socialite.
Now let's be clear about one thing, Vicki does not like clothes shopping. One of the reasons being, not finding suggestions on what looks good. Well, Francesca took care of all that...with my encouragement. I sat there while Vicki modeled and tried on many outfits and jewelry combinations. About four hours later, Vicki leaves with a new stylish wardrobe. Consequently, any visit to Taos requires a trip to Francesca's.
So, we paid Francesca a visit this afternoon, but not as long as the first. A couple of hours this time.
Vicki requested that I put the "brakes" on excessive purchases...whatever that might be. I considered establishing limits, but Vicki does not spend much on herself, and she and Francesca put some great outfits together. So...just go for it.
My role is to sit on the stool next to the counter and critique the clothing combinations modeled by Vicki. And, to listen to Francesca's running commentary as she continually pulls items from the clothing racks. Vicki insists that I be involved in the selections...I guess because I have to look at what she wears. I don't mind, but I do wonder at times if other husbands do the same thing with their wives. I've never seen one so far.
Well, she added to her wardrobe and we will need to add to the luggage...but it's all good!
