Slashed prices and clearance sales make me smile. So I was pretty excited to see the red signs advertising 50% off in front of Dress Barn. The size of the store made me think I'd be able to find something quickly. I stepped through the front door and looked around the store. One of the strangest things about Dress Barn, I noticed immediately, is that it doesn't actually carry that many dresses. Rows of pants, blazers, and even t-shirts take up a large portion of the store.
The clothes Dress Barn carried did not really fit my style. Most of the dresses seemed to fall more the business-casual realm, not really appropriate for a wedding. The tailored skirts and tank dresses looked perfect for a day of work but not for the reception's dance floor. I liked some basic black dresses, and I liked their forty dollar price tags even more. I also found a few flowered sheaths that I would probably consider if I couldn't find anything else.
There is nothing "wrong" with the Dress Barn, and the price was certainly right . The salesperson said hello pleasantly but hung back and didn't interfere with my shopping. Yet at the same time, nothing stood out, and nothing made me squeal "oh that's so cute!" Would I go back? Definitely, if I needed clothes for work. For this occasion, though, I would have to try a different route.
