Someone asked me out for a drink yesterday. At work. Over the phone. Can you say awkward? It went something like this:
Me: I just wanted to update you on the status of your order.
[insert status of his order talk here]
Me: Okay, great. Do you have any other questions?
Duder: Yes.
Me: ...
Duder: ...
Me: Okay.
Duder: ...
Me: ...
Duder: Would you like to have a drink with me?
Me: *mumblemumble* breaches company policy* *mumblemumble*
Duder: Well, I don't have to tell anyone!!!!
Me: You know what? I'm going to have to get back to you on that one.
It must be my new hair.
* You know. Never mind I have a boyfriend. Never mind I'm still under age, despite feeling like a middle-aged cat lady most of the time. Never mind that even if I wasn't under age, I don't really drink, anyway. Instead, I think I'll ramble something off about "breaching company policy." What?
P.S. To set things straight: I've met him in real life once before, so I assume he remembered my girlish good looks and charming way (but I'm sure he was turned on by my sexy, husky voice, too) and just couldn't get enough. Who can?
Top: Forever 21
Jeans: American Eagle
Belt: Thrifted
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell
Scarf: Urban Outfitters
hehe! you must have one fetching voice! ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG...thats crazy hunnie!!! On the other hand....love these ripped jeans!!!
ReplyDeleteStop by and say Hello:)
Check out my 30x30 Remix….Let’s do this!♥
Just think of it this way: would you really want to go out with someone anyway who asks you out just by your voice? Haha lovely photos. What camera do you use?

That's flattering and slightly awkward. You're a lot nicer than I would have been...I would have probably just flat out said no without any excuse.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing: I love this outfit. You look amazing. So comfy chic. My favorite look. You are working that red hair.
ReplyDeleteSecond thing: My husband always reminds me that if Duder says this enough, someone will actually say yes. And THAT, my friend, is the scary part.
Oh, and thirdly, would you like to go out for drinks with me? SLUSHIES!! Or milkshakes?
xo,
Tracy
I'm cringing and laughing at the same time.
ReplyDeleteWeirdo duder!
I love the shape of your jeans and the pretty scarf with it. These photos are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI used to call alumni for my school and ask for money (I know, I'm one of those people). Anyway, one time I was talking to this old guy and he randomly goes, "What color eyes do you have?" It totally caught me off guard and I was like, "um, hazel?" And then he started talking about how pretty I must be. Then two weeks later, my boss called me into her office and said, "That guy who asked you what color eyes you have? He sent in a HUGE check and a comment card about how wonderful you are. So.... thanks." Ha ha, we must have great voices, Ashley, seriously.
ReplyDeleteAnyway... love your outfit. :]] Again - scarf envy.

ReplyDeleteLOVE this outfit! and hahhaha...awkward!!!!! XD I've never even been asked out before... XD

Oh man, that's a pretty good story...that's flattering actually.
ReplyDeleteI have gotten asked out before at my job (I work at a doctor's office, and my boyfriend stops in all the time to visit me so the second he walked in, he heard about this). I told the guy that I was flattered, but I was in a relationship already. Then when my boyfriend comes in my coworker says "ERICA GOT ASKED OUT! She turned him down. BUT SHE GOT ASKED OUT!" lol...she must have been reminding him to keep me or something :P

Can you say awkward? Flattering, but awkward. You must have left a lasting memory on him!

bwaaaahahahah omg what a creeper !
ReplyDeleteu do have good looks ,, and ,, obviously know how to style and doll up so ,, hey ,, dont blame him ! hehe
but ur not under age really are you ?? because if u were younger than me ,, i'd jump n kill myself because i feel 22 is toooo damn old ,, and am just tiny 150 cm ,, =(
which brings me to my Qs
1-why didnt the clock stop on me being 19 ,, !
2-why am ELF ,, and why did my body stop growing !
loool nevermind =D
I LOVE the third pic where you're holding the scarf and smiling! You're just lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, I love the attitude in your closing!! heehee
Sometimes a little extra attention is nice - well, as long as it's not from someone creepy! Makes ya feel extra good. Sounds like you responded in the right way.
That is pretty funny. I have to say, every time I answer the phone at work and find someone on the other end who sounds good looking (ie accent from some European country) I secretly wish that would happen.
ReplyDeleteLove your scarf, earrings, and platform wedeges! the accessories make the look!
Chic on the Cheap
Hello dear! Are you really underaged? WOW!Not that you look old - don't get me wrong - but the way you write is so mature that I thought you would be at least 25 or something... You're a stunning girl, so I don't blame the guy (men - you know!). I would just say "I'm in a relationship - but thank you for the compliment" - end of story, bye-bye creepy guy! BTW I was working as a customer service rep. for 5 years in a mobile phone company and I had weird guys asking me out ALL the time just judging by my voice. It was kind of flattering but mostly it made me wonder about the mental health of men in my country for a while... Have a nice day!
ReplyDeletelol that's hilarious, funny story! weird guys always make the best stories.
ReplyDeleteYou're photo's are so lovely, and I really like your scarf

Good story, that. But seriously I don't blame him. He does have good taste :)
ReplyDeleteweird guy, haha
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit, the pants is amazing! And that guy hahahaha. I totally agree with @archives . :P
ReplyDelete♥
Haha, great story :D
ReplyDeleteI really adore the way you can rock the oversized T-shirt and the jeans! It looks really adorable on you!
Red hair on gorgeous chicks does things with people. BY THE WAY your look is totally trending right now: hot, redhead, not a stick figure: JOAN HOLLOWAY MUCH?
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of you :(
outfit is very cool, I love your version of casual and sexy. What camera do you use?
Absolutely! So he couldn't get your girlish good looks and beautiful husky voice out of his mind and FINALLY manages to come up with 'le question' and you destroy his hopes with company policies... Cruel, Ashley, cruel :)
ReplyDelete... and gorgeous photos, too!
Gorgeous outfit.. love the denim..
ReplyDeleteI would be freezing
lee x
hahahah! I would have died right there and then...
ReplyDeleteI love your scarf too.. Thankyou for your lovely comment! x
Awkward conversations make me laugh seriously, if I'd been in that situation I'd have laugh at the poor guy... without meaning to... I just laugh when things get awkward it's like a nervous reaction!!
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit, I'm so in love with your shoe collection!! Also thank you for your sweet sweet comment :) I really wish I had the motivation to get into all that fitness stuff

Those shoes look amazing. Great look, dear!

I absolutely love those wedges! You look great : )
ReplyDeleteXoxo
Gorgeous outfit dear! <3
ReplyDeleteI love your ripped jeans and your shoes!
ReplyDeleteWeird that he asked you out over the phone! You should have told him you have a boyfriend. I guess it's better than being called the C-word over the phone at work! (It happened to moi.) This guy was harrassing us and I refused to put him through to the owner of the company so he called me the nastiest word in the book and told me he has our company's address and he was coming to "get me." Craaaa-zzzyyyy
P.S. I'm going to phoenix, where are you going in Arizona?
i love the scarf and i love that you got asked out a work. lol
ReplyDeleteIsabel @ Walk of Fashion
love your shoes and scarf!

ha ha cracking up about your impromptu ask out
ReplyDeletelove those shoes you have on today
Hey, to answer your question, my boyfriend and I see eachother about once a week, if that. We lived together in Australia for a year and that was so good. Coming home and adjusting to not seeing eachother is so hard! It is getting even harder now that we are both on our internships. I think whatever works for you guys is what is best, it is never abnormal. I am always jealous of couples who see eachother every night though.
ReplyDeleteWell, your hair IS fab, so...he could probably tell over the phone.

Oh that's sweet - it must have taken him a lot of courage to pipe up, bless! You look delightful, I'm sure I've talked about the radical AWESOMENESS of those shoes before. Love the belted tee too.
ReplyDeletexx
Thank you for your comment! I'm planning on getting a dSLR soon, in time for my summer trip to Spain! I'm so excited! Although it's too bad everything is so expensive there ha.
ReplyDeletexMILLIE
Your scarf is really lovely and perfect for that outfit--not too formal and with a lot of sass. The red echoes your hair color and lipstick, and I'm a huge fan of red lips (or anything else). Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou're underage? Wow I definitely thought you were older than me- you're so sophisticated! You are gorgeous and I love your shoes and scarf! xo Emily
ReplyDeleteOh that beautiful hair is just fab! Plus that third photo is so adorable!

HA! I would have loved to overhear that conversation! Of course he couldn't resist because you're too attractive :D Love your JC wedges!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to resist you either! Haha especially since he had seen you in real life! You can tell him you don't drink but he will be just as glad to do coffee with you. Is he remotely cute?
ReplyDeletei am a new follower! i truly love your style and i will check your previous posts as well :) xx
ReplyDeleteLove your style...obsessed with Jeffery Campbell! Funny story...and is it not cold outside!?!?!? follow me at http://florencenightsandfairytales.blogspot.com/ as i follow you xo Emily Jenny
ReplyDeleteI'd take it as a compliment.
ReplyDeleteLoving your scarf and the top belted. It creates an amazing look at the back.
Freaking hilarious......maybe it was your new hair do which gave your mysterious persona a sexy boost and which showed in your seductive voice which he could not resist. It's real sweet though...and real awkward.....who does that?
ReplyDeleteI love your shoes......and kudos to you for actually being able to walk in them without falling. :)
Love
