No matter what size I think I am, the bras of that size are always too big or too small. No bra is ever the size I need.<\/li><li>I am sick of ridiculous pricing. Why would any store price an item at $56 and then sell it to me for $8? But they do it. Over and over again. So I never buy anything when I first see it. I wait for prices to drop, for big sales, and for coupons. But it would be so much simpler for everyone if the stores just priced things appropriately.<\/li><li>I used to think that, when I felt like I was burning up and dying of thirst in the store, it was because they&#8217;d turned the heat up too high by accident. Now that every store has a display of pricey bottled water at the register, I&#8217;m beginning to suspect it&#8217;s not an accident.<\/li><li>What is the point of limiting the number of items that I can take into the dressing room with me? I mean, how many sweaters do they really think I can hide in my purse or shove down my pants? Dressing room limits (e.g., 6 items or less) are extremely inconvenient. Women&#8217;s clothing sizes never run true, so I have to bring at least two sizes of any item I&#8217;m interested in buying, and if it comes in multiple colors, I want to compare how they look on me. I don&#8217;t want to have to keep going back and forth, in and out of the dressing room, getting dressed and undressed, all day long. So, unless they&#8217;re willing to station someone outside the dressing room to fetch things for me, they should let me bring in everything I want to try on. Seriously!<\/li><li>And what ever happened to all the mirrors? It used to be that there were mirrors all over the place in the clothing department so that you could hold a garment up in front of you or try it on over your clothes to see how the color looked on you. Now, in many stores, there aren&#8217;t any mirrors, forcing us to bring more items to the dressing room, where they limit how many we can bring with us. Bring back the mirrors!<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m beginning to think that there are four sizes of bra: the size you need, the size you think you are, the size that is too big, and the size that is too small.
