New Uniforms!

The airline chose to get all new uniforms to update out look and appear more professional. It's been a trip through trial and error but the new uniforms are finally here and I love them! When we did the fit test (we all went into to management and tried pieces on to see what sizes to order) I wasn't impressed with a lot of the pieces. We didn't really have a lot to choose from either. We were allowed the following as our initial order: 4 shirts, 2 bottoms, and a finishing piece which was either a sweater or a vest. Our current uniforms have gotten out of line. We had soo many different colored shirt options ( 2 different blue ones, a gray one, 2 different style white ones) and then between the skort, skirt, and pants, 3 different dresses, a twin sweater set, a vest, a blazer, and a cardigan. Whew!!! Way too many options that it was rare that two flight attendants working the same flight together looked liked the even worked for the same airline! All of our shirts now are all white with the inside of the collar being a dark navy blue and the same blue stitching on the sleeves. So I did 3 short sleeve and one long sleeve, a skirt and a pair of pants with the vest. On November 1st we are allowed to order additional items such as a turtleneck, blazer and twin sweater set, or a cardigan. I just love the idea that we are actually going to all match one another now. I really want to order the turtleneck to wear with the vest. (Pppshsh now we look like DELTA!!!)  I'll have to get all fixed up and take some photos!

I went yesterday to try to find some decent black shoes. Normally during the winter I wear my black boots but the skirts are soo long now (and we aren't allowed to alter them, thank goodness because we have some girls that have no class!). Well of course I headed over to DSW and found an adorable pair with the right size heel (has to be at least a dime) and with some padding in them for only $39.95. Not bad I didn't think for them being Madden Girl, which is a decent brand. But of course I always buy my purses from there too (I have a thing for Guess purses) and there was a perfectly sized black one that is of course, Guess! Super super cute. The shoes and the purse are both patent leather and shiny and pretty and OOOHHHHH Courtney wants them bad! So hopefully this week I will get the remaining short term money to pay some bills and  buy these two items. How awesome would it be to go back to work for my first trip in 3 months with a new uniform, a new coat, new shoes, a new purse, a new haircut (like a few weeks ago but still.....) and be able to have my awesome luggage that I already have. It would be perfect to help out with the new attitude right?! Ummm of course!!!

Oh and did I mention we all got new company issued coats (Brand New) so we all look the same again!!!! So everyone cross their fingers that I get that extra and last check!
