Yesterday I was out shopping,had to make a return to Goodwill, then on to the mall !
It was about 1PM on a Tuesday afternoon. So as I wandered around the womens dept. in the first store I got some "odd" looks but never approached.
I should have prefaced this with the faact I was in drab,currently have a full beard as well as long S/P hair in a ponytail. I have always taken pride in my appearance( I even iron "permanent press" . I was in a Blue button down shirt ,khaki's loafers and blue sport jacket.
I went across the Mall to the Dress Barn. I was greeted by several women as I entered,felt really welcome. As I started to look around a young woman asked if was looking for anything particular. "I will know it when I see it" I answered. She laughed saying she knew what I meant ! Again more comfortable for me.
As I shopped around I was aproache by othe SA's who were just as nice.
I ended up discussing the merits and sizing of "spanx" . One even told me here size and that it is better to be too small than to be too big in spanx .
I ended up with Spanx and nylons only. As the nicest and youngest SA rang up my purchases I asked," how do you feel about men trying on clothing ?" Of course ,no problem we will help you anytime.
The Dress Barn has a new and very happy customer !
