Well I didn't call ahead to make an appointment, I just stopped in. But when the SA asked if she could help me, I asked about the subject of appointments and she said something like "yes of course, I'm the one you talked to on the phone." I hadn't ever called on the phone, so I guess there's another one around, but anyway I got her name and promised I would call ahead next time.
But of course I had to look around a little since I was there. So I was just casually looking through some blouses and another SA commented on how pretty they were and that she had one in green, but I was looking at the wrong size. So she found me the right size, and then I asked if she had any skirts that would go with it.
Before long, we were having a great time. The first SA had joined us also, so they were both [arguing] or maybe [discussing] is a better choice, about which colors and patterns were best for me. They had totally opposite opinions on a few of the things, so I was glad that it's not just me that can't decide what looks best
The best part was, they helped me find the size that really fit me correctly. I ended up getting the skirts in 10 petite, since I don't have enough butt to fill up a misses size. And I got the blouses in 10 misses. Then I decided to sign up for their charge card, since I was getting so much, which made it 25% off. Which meant that I could then buy the dress that had caught my eye when I first came in the store.
So I ended up spending $380, but I'm really happy because the clothes are really stylish and look great. And they actually fit me perfectly, I didn't have to decide between what looks good and what fits right and what is available. This time I got what I really wanted. And of course both ladies were very encouraging, and exceptionally friendly and helpful, so I will probably be buying most of my clothes there in the future (except for shoes, which I buy in Bulgaria).
Compared to my most recent visits to Macy's and JCPenny, where I didn't find anything that I liked much, this was a great success. Of course the prices are much higher at Talbots, but I think that getting good quality and beautiful clothes that fit so well is worth the money.
