Funny story I thought some of you might appreciate...

Last night I ran to Walmart for a couple of things, and decided to pick up a new pair of capris because the ones I've been wearing (16W) are becoming a bit large, and I wear them often to work. So, I'm looking through the racks in Women's looking for the right size, when an employee came up to me and asked me what I'm looking for. I explained I wanted the same thing, just in a smaller size, and she said, "You have to go over to ladies." I pointed out that I was in Women's, and I just wanted the same thing, only smaller. She again pointed me to the other department. Finally, I got that she was telling me there were no smaller sizes in Women's.

I just couldn't wrap my mind around that thought.

Of course, then I got excited and bought two pairs in a 14, and they totally and completely don't fit, so I guess I'm not that excited But I think I'm only going to return one of them and try for a straight 16 (without the "W").

Still, I felt very cool at that moment Kinda the reverse of the usual "we don't have anything in YOUR size" comment I live in terror of.

Anyway, just thought I'd share

Great moment thanks for sharing with us.

It took me back to the time I was in Evans (used to be advertised as 'Evans the Outsize shop' in the 80's) a year or so ago and asked the assistant if they had a smaller size in their stretch denim leggings only to be told 'Sorry Madam, we dont sell any smaller sizes'!!

I was beaming with joy and surprise when I met up with my DH in the coffee shop and told him I had to buy my clothes in normal shops from then on.

Wtg!!!!!!

That's just great.. you might want to hang on-to those 14's.. won;t be long and you'll be in em

Keep it up!

yay! Congratulations! That is such a great feeling.

There is no better feeling than trying something on only to find that you guessed wrong and NEED a smaller size. It is very liberating being out of the fluffy girls sizes. Congratulations!
