I've been to Goodwill five times in the last four days. On trip one I bought a nice top without trying it on. (Not ready for that yet...) Too small. Trip two - based on that experience I went again the next day. Bought another a sexy red top which fits well. Trip three - walked in, looked around, saw the crowds in the ladies department, and left without anything. Trip four - bought a light blue blouse and what I thought was a neat choker in a sealed bag. The blouse is O.K. (Actually I don't really care for it. It has rather manly pocket covering my left breast. How I failed to see that as the store is beyond me. Probably just nervousness.) but the choker turned out to be a bracelet, actually three bracelets one which is so large it falls off my hand, and the other so small I can't fasten the clasp. Trip five - I summoned up the courage to return the top from trip one. I had the item and slip, but didn't realize the ramifications of having removed a Goodwill price tag. The first two individuals passed me on to the manager. He required some personal information and an explanation of why they are reluctant to receive returned goods without the price tag. I found another blouse which was a size larger than my initial purchase. Took it home and tried it on. It's a bit too small. One out of five purchases wholly pleasing. What's a girl to do but smile and chalk it up as another experience x 5.
