Violetta: Geek to Chic

Step 6: Credit Crunch

My clothes are usually bought from one of those corner none designer shops. I have a sort comfy girly look. If I'm comfortable in the clothes, I will wear them. That is one thing that's separates me from other girls, they spend hundreds of dollars on purses while I spend ones of dollars on tops and bottoms. I mean aren't they just clothes?

Fran: As much as I hate her, I have to admit she has a good fashion sense.

Ludmilla tilts her head back laughing at a joke Leon had just told her sporting a waistcoat and mini skirt.

Me: You know what, I'm going to take you girls on a shopping spree, my treat

Cami: No offence Vilu but you aren't exactly runway ready

I groan, a little offended.

Me: I have you guys to help me, don't I?

~~~~~~~~~~

Me: What do you think?

I pick a green top off the rack. I thought it looked cute because it had a frog on it saying 'Born to hop'.

Fran: Oh my gosh Vilu put it back! Put it back.

Me: Fine then

I mutter back to her. I don't think I'm going to like this shopping trip.

Cami: How about this?

She holds a VERY short dress up to my body.

Me: Are you CRAZY I could get arrested for wearing this!

Fran: Yeah, by the fashion police for looking too good

Cami: Okay so we have agreed on that dress ooh and this and that and that and that. Wait here I will be back

She piles the clothes into my arms and by the time she is done, there is nothing left in the store.

I stumble over to the checkout register. The checkout lady, with a name tag saying Becky, looks up from manicuring her nails and rolls her eyes at the sight of all the clothing we had.

Becky: Will that be all?

Her smile as fake as her hair.

Fran: Yeah

She starts to scan all the items and after 10 minutes is finally done.

Becky: That will be a total of $10004. Cash or credit?

My eyes bulge out of my head.

Me: T-ten thousand dollars!

Becky: Don't forget the additional four

Me: Camilla, how did this happen

Cami:Well, er there's the dolce and gabbana perfume which is like $150 oh and the elle exclusive perfume was $850, the clothing is like 5 wardrobes worth so maybe $4000 the purses cost 300 dollars each

Me: Purses? That was plural, how many did you get

Cami: T-ten?

Me: Lord kill me now

Becky: Can you hurry up and pay 'cuz your holding up the line

I hesitantly hand over the emergency credit card my dad gave me.

Becky: Thank you, don't come again

As we leave the store I remember something.

Me: Wait why did they charge me the additional four dollars

I look to Camilla and see her shrug.

Fran: Oh that was me. I forq it was my mom's birthday so I got her some cheap mug I found in the store.

The three of us burst out laughing. The perfect end to a very expensive day.

Lesson Learnt: Don't trust Camilla with buying your clothes.
