[nabs-l] clothes shopping

[Gloria G]

Hi,
I shop by myself most of the time using a sales person. Besides the size of 
clothing I think it is a good idea to have in mind what colors you like best 
or what types of textures you like. I have had great experiences with sales 
people in stores like victoria secret, bath and body works, JC Penny's 
etc... and the people usually ask me what things I like and describe what 
they have in the store that would be what I am looking for or something 
close. I also like to sometimes know what knew things they have in the store 
so if it is some place like vanity I would ask the sales girls what they 
think would look good on me if they have time and the store is not busy of 
course. I love shopping and have not been disapointed with my purchases. 
Hope this helps. ----- Original Message -----
