So that was a dramatic way of putting the fact I’ve now officially shopped at Victoria’s Secret! It was terrifying, though, I’m not going to lie.
I walked in once, thinking that it was one place I might as well try. I ended up walking through every store in the mall and comparing bra and underwear prices and quality before just showing back up at Victoria’s Secret. They were having a sale and all their really cute panties (which are surprisingly high quality, I discovered) were around three dollars each. Their bras were also two for the price of one. How could I shop anywhere else?
I, being the violently awkward person that I am, had no clue what bra size I was. I’ve had the same five or six of them for years. The ladies who worked there were super helpful, even showing me around and helping me pick out the most comfortable styles. It wasn’t close to closing time, either, so they weren’t trying to get me out of there quickly. They legitimately helped me out as I awkwardly inspected underwear I wouldn’t dream of wearing in real life.
But somehow I ended up walking out with quite a lot for not a lot of money. It was wonderful.
Now I’m an adult, with real adult underwear. I’m pretty proud of myself. Helpful people deserve more credit, because an experience I was absolutely dreading actually ended up scoring me a new favorite store.
