For the first time in literally years I visited the NYC Bloomingdales in hopes of finding … gloves. Shocking mistake. I’ve been under a rock, true, because I try not to buy anything I don’t need. Not on the internets, not in a brick and mortar emporium. But it was my daughter’s birthday and she wanted/needed gloves. When did Bloomies turn into a mall of luxury boutiques? Floor after floor of designer tat… no gloves. Of course no socks… also wanted to score some quality knee socks (it is to laugh). I repaired to Macys. I know it a little from going to the Clinique booth, looking for ties. It’s big and confusing but it’s still something of a department store. One stop shopping!? I was unable by myself to find a glove section but I figured the underwear floor might have socks. They did though only one sad pair of knee socks. While I was there I picked up a bra. I found a salesperson. The salesperson wrapped my bra in tissue. I cried! She even knew where I might find gloves. I showered her with praise (she was old like me). I feel like I had one last encounter with the divine.
