Disappointed with a Capital D

Lake Hodges, Hollister $19.90

Went to the Eaton Centre today to report on the sale situation. There's really nothing to report. It was an utter bust. Nothing that good or worth spending hard earned after-tax dollars on. Save it and invest it and get better stuff in the future!

Went to Banana Republic and practically everything is on sale, but it was still expensive. Lots of nice dresses and dress shirts, but still over 120$ and 60$ respectively. Too expensive for me!

Also stopped by French Connection and nothing to report. The good stuff only had Large and Extra Large left. Saw some nice handbags though.

Also went into Hollister. Why? Good God I don't even know why. Damn salesgirl at the front didn't to greet me when I came in the entrance and when I was halfway into the next section of the store had to blurt out her spiel to me. "Hi! Welcome to Hollister!" Wait, I don't think that's what she said. Some sort of contrived statement that I don't remember. I felt bad, so I mumbled an acknowledgement. But I just ended up looking like an idiot since I was already halfway to the back of the store.
Oh! Now I remember why I went in. I want this sweater, which is supposed to be ON SALE according to the website, since it's so cold at my desk at work. Went to the sale section and this damn sweater could not be found! Disgusting! How could they tease me like that? Blast!

So feeling wounded, I went to Over the Rainbow to try on Ridiculously Overpriced Pants and the ones that I posted about yesterday could also not be found. Double Blast!
I tried on another pair of the same style, but the material was that shiny jean material in a lighter blue/grey colour and somewhat reflective. I don't like that. It's weird. It's like wearing mirrors on your lower body. Or that reflective tape that bikers wear so car drivers don't run them over at night and make them have to go to the hospital and die. Or on the street if no one bothers to call 911.
I honestly don't see what the big deal is (about the pants, not the dying part. Dying is bad, even if they were bikers). The material was thinner and more stretchy, but totally not worth the 290$ price tag. And I felt so short because the pant leg was so long that I had to fold at least 6 inches of it and the security tag practically had to be folded in as well.
Saw a cool jacket and asked the cashier if they do holds. She said, "I can hold it for 1 hour." WHAT? What's the point!?! Just say you don't do holds, I won't cry about it.

So I didn't get anything today or find anything worthy of your attention. It was a bust. But at least I have some inane material for this post. I'm out.

Another obscenity from Hollister

Abercrombie and Fitch, as well as its more budget friendly sibling Hollister, boggle my mind. Not crazy about the style of clothing, the brand recognition, or the awful lettering on the back. Definitely not a fan.
On the other hand, if someone gave this shirt/sweater to me, I would wear it. Only because it looks quite comfortable. I don't think I'd take my jacket off though in an effort to conceal the logo. What's with the giant CA on the back? As if the HOLLI(enter)STER wasn't enough. Sheesh.

The store is having a sale. Check it out online and then head to the Eaton Centre to save the shipping and try on stuff if you're interested. I hear it's wise to buy one size up from your regular size. Oh yeah, if you visit the site and turn your speakers on, get ready for some man to shout gibberish at you. Why? I have no idea. I seriously don't get this company.

I hate leggings

This is the description for Hollister Co. when I looked it up on Google:
"The hottest southern Cali lifestyle clothing geared for outgoing guys and girls."

Am I the only one who finds a problem with this description? "Outgoing" guys and girls? What the hells? Hollister, are you saying if I'm not "outgoing", this clothing is not geared towards me? Descrimination based on personality? That's definitely a new one. I'm sad now. Why won't you love me, Hollister?

Tons of clothing companies sell leggings. (Why? Don't ask me.) But just because of that description, I'm going to single out Hollister for their Asslee leggings. Boo. Let's just keep them in the 80s, where they belong.

Hollister, $24.50

!@#$

I'm not totally sure why there is a market for these pants. They just make me sad.
Hollister, $24.95 (and yes, that's the CLEARANCE price, God help us all).

I don't get why people like Hollister. I don't get the whole "Let's shop in the dark thing with loud music". Why, people, why? Does it make you feel that much cooler? I just feel old when I go in there. And unpretty.

Bitter? Yes, so very yes.
