Today I went with the hubs to try and update his work attire...FUN!! Totally not fun, I feel for these guys who have to try and find descent work clothes in this area on a Sunday.
Here's the top 10 things I learned:
10). Avoid Glenbrook area; stay southwest Fort Wayne. You'll end up wasting so much time there for nothing! Sorry but we've never had any luck at Macy's, Sears, JCPenney, & Carsons is a joke as far as selection goes. Dan found better luck browsing online while he walked the mall than any of these stores. Ha!
9). Fitted dress shirts are a joke, as well as broadcloth. Traditional is the way to go.
8). Shopping with a 4 & 5 year old is entertaining. They fought over who could go in the changing room with daddy. Wow!! Sorry Olivia, you had to come with me.
7). Good customer service goes a long way.
6). Environment is also a selling point. Ex: Macy's vs Von Maur. Where would you rather shop if you could get the same prices?? Von Maur...yes, I'm a VM junkie, it's cool. There's a support group for people like me, I'm certain.
5). Von Maur seriously has some awesome sales, even better prices than Kohl's. They had some dress shirts for $17...WORD!
4). We found a new fav store, Jos A Bank...despite it being bought by Men's Wearhouse, it's a great place to get men's wear. They also have good sales and will ship for free if you find a shirt in a different color but they don't have your size in the store! Score!!
3). Every brand of shirt has a different fit & size. Ex: Enro is half size bigger than Jos A Bank.
2). There are a million little pins in men's dress shirts that they have to get out before trying on shirts. Geeze!
1). Thought I'd save the best for last...Apparently they make SPANX for MEN!!! Oh my stars, there are no words for this realization. Thankfully, my hubs isn't interested.
Ok, I'm off to bed. I hope you learned something new. Lovies!!
