Yesterday I had an appointment downtown on Michigan Ave. after work. It happened to be in Water Tower Place so I found myself wandering over to the H&M and Topshop after my appointment.
H&M was having a big sale I guess and I've been successful finding blazers there before. I spent maybe 10 minutes in the store before I walked out. The place was a disaster. There were racks of clothes just randomly placed about the store, things were flung over the racks, and on the floor below the racks.
There is a reason I very infrequently go to discount stores (like Nordstrom rack, Marshalls, etc.). I cannot stand when clothes aren't organized and neat looking. What about that mess would make me want to buy anything? Maybe I'm getting older but that was not cool. I walked right out.
Then I ventured over to Topshop. I see lots of dresses online that seem like they would be so cute. I found a handful and went into the dressing room. I knew they would be short, but I figured at least trying them would like me know for sure that they would not work for me. I was right.
They looked like little baby doll dresses - it was kind of ridiculous. But at least I know now. It was what I expected, but you never can really tell for sure without trying things on.
One of these days, stores will sell the TALL sizes actually in the stores instead of only online. Yeah, I'm talking to you GAP and Banana!!!
