Trying clothes on is NOT something to be embarrassed about. It is an important part of clothes shopping. Or perhaps I should say it is an essential part of clothes shopping. I never say, "May I try this on?", I always say, "Where can I try this on?", or, "Where is the dressing room?" You need to act like it's gonna happen, because if it don't happen, there's no sale. Which is exactly what happened in your case, you walked out and didn't buy anything.
This leads us to the second important point here. They HAVE to know you are buying. If they think you aren't a serious shopper, you are not going to get the respect you need. SA are professionals. They make their money by selling things. If they think you aren't buying, they are going to move on to someone who is. So, you have to present the right attitude. Asking an "embarrassing" question might have scotched the deal right there.
Who knows what went wrong, dear. In any case, don't get discouraged. You have gotten some valuable pointers here. Take them and keep trying. ALL of us who have done this have been successful. Get back on the horse.
Lovies,
Stephenie
