My Nordstrom Personal Shopper brought selections in a range of prices,
but when it came to dresses, I walked out and hit the dress
department,
which was right next door, and found all of the things I bought by
myself. Nonetheless, she got the commission for that, plus my
friend's
shoes, but I don't think $400 is her typical sale...too bad. She just
didn't have my taste figured out...the dresses she brought were all
too
frilly and fussy.
My friend who made the appointment hates to shop, so this was to help
her find appropriate clothes for a big wedding/party weekend. I love
to browse and shop so I may not be cut out for this game.
The cruise is through Costa. I can hardly wait.

At least you weren't talked into purchasing items that weren't your
style. I shop better for myself than the personal shoppers, but they
are wonderful in situations such as the one your friend had or if you
see something in a catalogue you want the shopper to set aside for you.
When there is one of those Nordstrom 1/2 year sales I've called the
shopper to gather things for me that I've seen in the ads. It works well
for me because I explain that I do not live in the city where I'm
shopping so my time is limited. The shopper at the local Macys whom I
work with most frequently is a very nice person but now that they no
longer carry Oscar, I am shopping there less frequently.
