Age hath no look!

Shopping for a dance leotard for a teenager isn't very easy.  Especially if you look like you should be shopping for a three year old.  I guess that's a compliment, but I can't tell you how many times I was told, 'you're shopping for a toddler?'  Or 'you want the tiny ones, right?'

One woman, in a large discount chain store, responded when I asked her if they had adult sized dance leotards; "For?" and looked at me like I was asking for myself.  She actually raised her eyebrows when I said when I said 'for an adult'.  Can't adults buy dance leotards?  When I said it was for my daughter, she said, 'oh, you mean for little girls.'  I said 'no, it's for my teen daughter'.  Still, with a puzzled look on her face, she asked how big my daughter was.  I said, 'as big as me'.  Again, with the eyebrows.  She was working in the adult clothing area.  If I was looking for a toddler, I would have been in the children's section of the store.

So, I failed at finding my daughter the dance leotard she needs.  About two hours into looking and seven or eight stores later, I gave up.  Thinking, I'll just find one on-line.  Which I did, in about ten minutes, for much less than I thought I would spend.  So all's well that ends well.  Just wish I could get that two hours back of my morning.

I have done this several times before, only to find a better deal and better match online.  Why don't I learn from my past shopping experiences?  I will now try to remember for the future.  
Lesson=save time and money.  Look on-line first!

Peace and love.  Until tomorrow...
