You know, I lose patience really easily; I'd rather shop in the grocery store than in the department store. I can pick an apple like nobody's business.
I prefer department stores. In boutiques, they come up and ask you if you need help. I can't get lost in the experience.
I'm a kid from Kansas, so J.C. Penney was where I got all my clothes from kindergarten to around 7th grade.
I get as excited walking around a CVS as I do walking around in Bergdorf's.
Mini-skirts, Prada and Agnes B are for New York and L.A. Washington is more America's equivalent of Marks & Spencer.
None of my friends go to places like Selfridges. I'm a regular at the pound shop!
Between my hatred of mall shopping and my mother's firm ideas about how a girl should dress, my style choices were pretty unenthusiastic: plaid skirts or whatever empire-waisted thingamabob was on sale at Sears.
As a kid, I would always shop for my back-to-school clothes at department stores. I lived in a small town, and department stores were all we had access to.
