I took myself out for my 30th birthday, and had a lovely day around downtown Portland. One of my main goals, was to find a dress for dinner that night. I went to many stores - but unfortunately the ones I wanted to purchase from were closed on Tuesdays. No biggie, still checked anthropology, Nordstrom, etc. Then I came upon this store. When I entered, I was not even greeted, which made me feel very uncomfortable, since I had to ring a doorbell to be let in. I looked around and waited for someone to say anything to me, but no one did. Even though i saw many sales people helping other customers and some just standing around.
I asked the salesperson if they had a dress that was displayed on the wall in my size. Her response: “oh, maybe but it’s” then proceeds to show me the tag. Uh, okay? If you knew anything about contemporary fashion, you would know I was wearing a $600 Selkie dress in your store, but I digress. I say that I’d like to try it on if they do have my size, she grabs it and puts it in the dressing room, then I grab another dress and proceed to try them on.
One of the dresses fits perfectly, and is exactly what I was looking for. Very elegant and perfect for where we were going for dinner. However, because of the way I was treated, I ended up not purchasing this dress.
I hope you enjoy clutching your pearls from your bar bearing windows, because people my age are going to financially and physically outlive your current clientele, if you weren’t already aware of that.
Best of luck.
