Yesterday I went to Banana Republic's 30th Anniversary Sale. For a few hours everything was 30% off. You had to show them your credit card to get in the door, which was a little funny. And they served champagne and little pastries. It was a mad house.There were tons of people. I spent half an hour in line for the fitting room. And then another half hour in line at the check out.
It was like social hour. Girls were there with their friends loading up on clothes and drinking champagne. Having a good time. A lot of guys were there for the sale too, but my favorites were the ones who just stood there with womens clothes draped over their arms, drinking champagne.
I know this isn't unusual among fashion retailers, but I haven't gone before.
I'm a little surprised that I wasn't put off by it. I didn't bring any friends with me, and I don't drink champagne, but isn't shopping fun? (Well, sometimes it depends on the sales associates ... and I'm not crazy about the before Christmas madness ...) Oh, and the 30% off is fun too!
