MISSION VIEJO MALL

Yesterday my dear friend Zahide asked me to help her to find a dress for her husband’s coming birthday!!

We meet at the closest mall in our area; the Mission Viejo Mall.
Actually I prefer to go to small boutiques rather than the main department stores but she wanted to check first Macy’s and then Nordstrom to see what they have to offer.

First, we try in Macy’s, she could not find any dress that she liked in her size, so she ended up buying a cute raffle skirt and a blouse but that did not satisfied what she was looking for. To be honest, the salespeople where nowhere to found, and when we did,she was not too friendly or helpful. I feel that in these days, department stores are short in personnel because of the economy.

After we went to Nordstrom but what she liked was very elegant, good quality but too formal for the occasion so we decide to try the small boutiques around the mall.

First we went to Cold Water, Talbot’s, Banana Republic, Arden, Armani Exchange and BCBGMAXAZRIA clothing stores but we could not find the right dress in either of them.


Finally, we went to Cache closing store and a friendly sales girl that was excited to show us the news styles that the store got greeted us as soon we come in.

She gave Zahide many choices, and she was willing to bring accessories for each of the dresses. We really fall in love with a beautiful black and red dress that fitted Zahide beautifully. It was my favorite one but Zahide decided to buy another one as well because she could not decide which one she liked the most.

The sales girl was very informative and told us that the black and red dress was a very popular one and on demand and because of that they ended up ordering an extra shipment.
Also she said that the dress was in the front page of the catalog as well.

In the end, with a sweet smile in her face, she announces that because Zahide was buying more than $200.00, she will get a $50.00 discount!!!!!!!

What a great shopping day;
I was glad that I was able to help my dear friend!!!!
