I wouldn’t consider myself a shopaholic (though I do love the books). But I wouldn’t say I dislike shopping ether. I’m pretty run in the middle girl when it comes to shopping. I am a GAP girl and proud of it. Probably one of my favorite things about shopping, finding deals. I happen to live near a GAP outlet store which helps me stretch my buck when it comes to shopping. So when I got a gift card for the GAP as late birthday present, I made my pilgrimage.

I am in need a paid of jeans and GAP seem to be my fit. I had been putting off jean shopping because I hate it. Hate. It. Its something I wear often enough that they need to be almost perfect. Often I taken about eight pairs in the dressing room. But before I could do that today, I had to get my size in all the different styles they have jeans in now a days. Now,this is the point when my delight of being in GAP gets tossed to the wind. I’m a small girl pretty much all around, including my height. So when I go to search of my size jeans and I find that its two feet above my head, how on earth do they expect me to get them down? I don’t know too many tall girls who wear my size. Not enough to make it my size’s spot on the shelf that high. They have the size Id be swimming in at my eye level. Explain the reasoning behind this to me please! I really believe its an evil plot to all short girls everywhere. Hey, I can take the easy way out cant I? Isn’t the idea behind a retail store, such as GAP, is to sell clothes in order to make money? If their customers cant reach the desired item, how are they going to buy them? I could ask someone to get them down for me, yes. But if I didn’t end up buying the pair I made the sales girl (or guy) get down for me Id feel bad. But never fear, I made do and got my size down (step stool only for employees. Ah, what they don’t know wont hurt them).

After my time in the dressing room, I ended up with two pairs. I needed a second option and the dressing room attendant was a guy. If he was gay, I probably would of ask which ones he liked better. This is why girls shop in packs in case any of you guys were wondering. We need a second opinion most of the time. Especially me when it comes to jeans (since they have to be perfect). With no one around to assist me, I charged two pairs to bring home and get a second option on. So, really, the jean search is still in progress.
