My heart was pounding just walking into the town centre knowing what I was going to do. I felt excited and scared all mixed together. As I entered Primark I clocked where the pleated skirts were, quite near the door which was a shame as anyone passing the doors might glance in and I now plenty of people in the town during a lunchtime.
First I went to the boys PJ section as I needed to buy some for my son, it really helped having a proper job to be doing while in the shop. Once I got them then I looked for Christmas socks, it was good cover for the lace topped socks I wanted to get. After a walk round the shoe/hosiery section I found the socks, bit small but only £1 worth a try, might look cute over black stockings and in my heels.
Then came the big test, back though lingerie (I had to as that where the escalator is!) mmmm lots of nice bra's! Down to the skirts, green/blue checks or the grey and red line checks. I went for the one with the red as would match my blazer. I had to sort through the rack to find a 16 which looked about right, not too big. A couple of young ladies had a bit of a giggle while I was checking the sizes but I felt ok with my shopping list in my hand.
Then I went back upstairs to the customer service to take back a bra for my wife. It was empty which was fine by me, the assistant came over and I showed her the receipt for the bra and told her I wanted to buy the PJ's, skirt and girly socks. While she sorted them I noticed the skirt was actually a size 12 on a size 16 hanger (oops school girl error) so I asked if I could change it, no problem she said and had a look on the returns rack and said she only had a 20. So off I went down the escalator again, into the ladieswear, hunt for the skirt, bottom shelf at the back. The 16 looked big so went for the 14, a few more stairs from the ladies, then back up to customer services and there was a queue! Two ladies and a young man, so I stood at the back nest to the man and his jeans with my short pleated skirt in hand. The man turned to me and said "I think she is waiting for your skirt" pointing to the desk. Sure enough, I went forward and she took the skirt folded it and popped it in the bag. I paid for them, signed the return and was out of there all red faced and flustered but what a buzz!
Back at work I sneaked out to the toilet and went into the cubicle, dropped my trousers and tried the skirt on, it fitted snugly, sits high on my hips which keeps it short and the lining is delightful. Cant wait to model it. I snapped a picky with my mobile and changed back. Yeah for my girly power!
