Just before Thanksgiving, I went to the mall with Tommy and Kaya to get my 9-year-old niece an Abercrombie gift card. Seems she is obsessed with their clothes, and because I so desperately want to be a cool aunt, I had to get her the card. Some observations:
1. The store is not designed for 30-something woman pushing a double stroller.
2. It was louder than any bar or club I have been to in the past 5 years.
3. It smelled like my 4 year-old dumbed every perfume I owned inside my car.
4. The guy at the register, while cute, must have only been in the 5th or 6th grade.
I left as quickly as I could.
I felt OLD. But I was the cool aunt (I think).
I'm so old, I remember when Abercrombie and Fitch was actually a relatively high-end store for *adults*. My mom got some gorgeous (and age approprirate!) stuff from there when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI detest walking by that store in the mall, The smell is overwhelming and wretched.
