Shop Til You Give Up
12/11/07 : Just returned from the Mall in Hyannis. I do not know where you buy women's
clothes, but as other shoppers and I say, the styles are really terrible. Have 99% of blouse
sleeves gone three-quarter? Forever? Or flouncy or half- covering the breast by via an
overlapping what-the heck is that? What junk! I see women my age looking through the s
elections with a disgusted look on their faces. Macy's in Hyannis has split into two stores,
men's and womens. What were they thinking? Spent all that money to inconvenience
people? The quality of their products need improvement!
I did get lucky though. Something I was not even looking for. I spotted some lovely
material on simply and well cut suits at Sears. I picked up two, as they were marked
way down. When I got to the cash register, it turned out they were put on the wrong r
ack. Saleswoman checked that out and gave them to me for about half-price. It made
my day, so naturally I splurged on Estee Lauder makeup. That's something else I totally
had no intention of doing...not today, anyway. Haven't worn the stuff for a few years.
Got some how-to from a very nice gal. Thanks, Lisa.
- Almost forgot. Tried to find a pair of men's pajamas. How I miss Filene's. The
- Filene bargain basement place has plenty of bottoms, as most stores do today.
- Are you supposed to wear tees with them? When we turn down the heat, we'll
- need those old long-sleeve flannel jobbies.
7/31/08: Haven't given up yet. Tried Macy's (a while back they bought Filene's out and
split the store in two, as I may have told you. You go to the men's dept. at the back of the
Hyannis Mall and can usually find a parking space, then go to the front of the Mall and stalk
the lot for a space. So annoying, particularly because they have filled the women's store with
ill-fitting junk.
I lucked out. Found several Alfani silk shirts on sale. Short sleeved and straight cut, I
thought they would look classy, especially by adding beads to femme them up. Hied myself
up to the front of the Mall and grabbed a long $30 number in white. (all my old stuff is almost
choker style). Did this all just in time to get over to the Pops by the Sea concert. A friend had
finagled a $50 seat for me and I wanted to look nice.
