So for my 30th bday my parents got me a personal shopper(my request for clothes) at nordstrom. My old clothes don't fit and its time I look like a 30 year old. Well what a disaster, I'm soo disappointed. I phone interviewed twice with this lady who was supposed to be my shopper and then they gave me someone else. Okay, at least they had notes right... I said I liked all colors except orange, what colors were in the dressing room when I got there? Orange, olive green and gray, so lovely! I told them I was a size 10 well she laid out size6-8 SKINNY jeans, yeah those looked great. But trusing her experience I put them on. Rocking the greatest muffin top on top of my sausage legs I got the reply: "what do you mean you don't like them, you look soooooo skinny." No twatwaffle I look like craap! Wow I had such high hopes. I have to go back, returns/alterations/still need clothes, would you still use a personal shopper but someone else or go it alone and trust your own opinons?
Re: My personal shopper at nordstroms...
Get a different PS. That one sounds awful. I have had hit or miss experiences but a good PS is great!
And I am not a clothes person at all.
I am sure they do get a commission but when I have used the Nordstrom PS service there has never been any cost to me. They are a mixed bag though, some are great and I'm sure some are of course just dummies with no taste. At a minimum, I like having someone specifically dedicated to run back and forth to get things so I don't have to keep getting dressed.
