Title: Stoked!! Male changing room.
Post by: Turtle on July 24, 2010, 02:03:46 PM
Got to share, as I'm feeling so good about this!

Some of you may recall my 'what to wear for my wedding' dilemma. Have now chosen day of the dead themed male attire.

Went to Topshop to search out some smart trousers, and found a couple to try on. Now this branch of the shop is big, and as I was in the men's department, the nearest female changing room was miles away on another floor.

I asked the assistant if there was a female fitting room nearer, she took one look at me, and said "It's ok - you can just use the men's". I know it doesn't really make a difference - it's just a bunch of little cubicles, but I had the biggest smile as I tried on my men's ultra-skinny tux trousers in the men's changing room  8)

And yes, they fitted - I have actually bought something with the words 'ultra' and 'skinny' on the label.

And just for the fashion record - I found a pair of black day of the dead baseball boots for the wedding too - covered in skulls and roses. Happy dance!

Awesome.  Now that I think about though, I cant think of a place I've shopped in a while that had seperate dressing rooms.

Awesome...
I've used the mens changing room before... but I do very much so dislike seperate changing rooms, esp when with family.

That's a great start for the wedding. I've never quite understood how changing rooms have gender :laugh:

When is the wedding by the way. Several of the girls are getting excited about it. And of course guys just don't talk about the important stuff.
