As a follow up to my last blog.
We did end up at the Eaton Center on Friday last week. It went well for the most part. I was able to get into Torrid and do some filming. Was also able to get into the American Eagle, Forever 21 and the Aerie.
So I am not going to talk about Torrid today we will get back to that once the video is ready to go live on YouTube. You will also be able to find info on that visit on Instagram (so go follow me there, SaraJohnston079). I also was able to get into Addition Elle.
My experience was so very different from Aerie to American Eagle. American Eagle was friendly they offered help and just over all I did not feel out of place in the store. The Aerie on the other hand was not helpful, no one talked to me or offered any type of help. I did find one top in Aerie that I had wanted to try, but ended up putting in back as I could not find a sales person in the store to ask about sizing or the sale that was going on.
American Eagle, what can I say other then I am so happy I found you. So this first top is just to funny. I am wearing it in a XL and having to hold it closed. It is on the sale rack for 60% off so it is $17.95 right now. Its just not for me. If I really wanted it I would need to size down to a L. Now the second top I love, wish it was on sale. It’s $44.95 and an XL. I love the little bit of tummy that it shows, with my new high waisted jeans from American Eagle that may not even show. I will be stocking the site for this to go on sale and making sure I get it when (positive thinking) it does.
I went into Forever 21 looking for something sexy. I think I will have to visit the one at Yorkdale again. This one at the Eaton Center is a smaller store and felt very messy. So no pictures as I did not try anything on.
So we got out of the mall and headed over to Addition Elle. I really did try to find items that I liked, really I did. I was able to find 2 pieces to try on.
Lets start with the sweater. I liked it as a top with the lace cami under so that I was not showing off my bra. This is a 2X and $49.00. The dress is nice but missing something to help make it pop. Maybe its just because of my hair colour right now, not really sure. In store I did try it on with a scarce tied around my waist, it helped. The dress is in a size 1X and is $69.00
The green one I just found on the website and think it would be very cute with the dress. The second one is the one I was able to try with it in store. Both are $22.
More to come about my Torrid showing trip and my up coming YouTube channel.
