We couldn't decide if we wanted to go to Nordstrom's Rack or Lane Bryant. She wanted shoes, and wanted, well, everything. But, I wasn't too excited to go to either because the clothes in my size aren't really very trendy, or my style. I end up buying a piece of clothing that is decent, and I have to tell myself that it's cute but feel frumpy when I actually wear it. There are so many cute clothes out there that I think are so cute, but they don't fit. I just don't understand why they can't make them in a bigger size.
Then my mom remembered another store that she used to shop in, and they have shoes. So, we went to Avenue to see what they had. The moment we walked in, I was a little skeptical... I heard two different people being asked if they had an Avenue Card, and if they "wanted to open one and receive 30% off of their purchase today". I hate that! When someone offers me a store credit card I am immediately turned off, especially if they ask me before I get to the register.
So we got away for a while and started looking for shoes. We actually found some cute pairs that we were planning to buy. As we were looking though, the first worker comes up to ask if we need any help, and then asks if we want an Avenue card. We said no thank you and she finally went away. Not 30 seconds later, the next lady came up and asked us the exact same questions! It was so annoying to be bothered when we were just trying to find a cute pair of sandals.
Then we got to the clothing. There's just something off about the clothes there. It is like they attempted to make things cute, but fell short. We decided to check out the jeans, which were on sale for only $25. They had boot cut, straight, and skinny, and of course I went for skinny. They had stacks of jeans on one table which were all boot cut and straight. Behind were more stacks on higher shelves. My mom and I tried looking for my size and noticed that there was no order to them, and it was hard to see the sizes. She did what anyone would do who wanted to look for something to purchase and took down a stack to start looking through.
Not long after, one of the workers came over as if she was annoyed at us for trying to shop in her store. My mom finished with the first stack and the lady condescendingly took the stack from her, tried to "tidy" them up, and put them back. She then started to look herself so that we would not mess up her precious stacks. We let her deal with it and walked away to try on some leggings that we found on another rack. When they didn't fit, we ran out of the store. Didn't even buy the shoes. I'm serious when I say that we ran!
Luckily we were across from Nortstrom's Rack. There we each found a super cute new watch, and a pair of shoes! She found a DKNY large face watch with white leather band for only $25 and a pair of black sandals marked down from $62 to $13! I got a very girlie black metal Betsey Johnson watch with pink rhinestones around the large round face. Then I found an adorable pair of Nine West flats which are beige and have a peep toe. So at least something good came out of the day and I love what we found!
Here's a picture similar to the watch that I got. (On mine, the rhinestones are pink instead of white)
So always keep looking and you will eventually find what you love!
HAVE FUN!
