LOL! I have to get my clothes altered cos of my size, and since altering is an additional investment my clothes have to be of a quality that will last. Since places like the Gap only have long-sleeved shirts that only go to above my wrists, it's either wear quality clothes or be stuck in men's wear or freakish women's basketball clothes for me. *sigh*
I suppose I could buy a hat or something at a Target store, but why park an acre away to fight housewives and screaming babies for bargains? And I'd prefer not to shop at a place where guns and ammo are sold, so it limits my large thrift warehouse shopping possibilities somewhat (You'd be surprised where they sell guns and bullets with basketballs and kids' tennis shoes). *shudder*
But I don't count out a day where I might step foot in a store like that. I went to a JC Penny's once in Idaho, but that was because it was the only large scale retail store within 30 miles, and I needed a wool blanket. Idaho winters are coooold. Necessity before ideals.
