Big news people! I have officially transcended floors at Macy's! Let me just explain a thing or two about Macy's. First of all it is the Macy's. The original, the mecca of shopping tourists, the host of the Thanksgiving Day Parade, the money trap of America. You literally could spend an entire day there, maybe even a week. Heck, you could live there if you slept in a tent in the sports department. (Remember when they did that on Saved by the Bell to be the first in line for concert tickets?) Anywho, this Macys has three restaurants, two Au Bon Pains, multiple Starbucks, Auntie Anne's Pretzels, Ben & Jerry's and McDonald's. While shopping you are constantly bombarded by smells that make you hungry. Pretty clever if you aks me- because I always have to get a pretzel on the 4th floor. I have become a pretty efficient Macy's shopper and I know my way around rather well. This comes from years of shopping there for work- pantyhose, bustiers, children's clothing, socks, ties, etc. If you dont know your way around you become frustrated,tired an exhausted and disoriented- kind of like what I imagine running around a Labyrinth to be like. This is also why the food stations are a brilliant plan- like oases in the dessert. Well yesterday I hunkered down for a good three hours of shopping- had my respite of Auntie Annies- and officially decided to retire the 4th floor as my go-to floor, and adopt the 2nd floor as my own. "What does this really mean" you ask? Im out of Juniors Dept- for good. Aside from an occasional find from "American Rag"- I never find anything I like anymore. Not to mention- on Saturdays a DJ is mixing in there and it is uber loud. The second floor is so sophisticated and serene! Soft lighting and nice ladies shopping for business casual separates. No screaming teenagers from the Bronx- no spoiled brats from Connecticut. Although I wont be able to abandon the 4th floor completely ( the cocktail/ evening dress department is there too) I will now only cross through at a brisk pace- looking judgmentally at 40 year olds debating whether or not they can squeeze into some JLo jeans. The answer is NO!

Congratulations! I could no longer kid myself after having a baby, and finally graduated from the juniors department. Here's the thing: when you're not a junior anymore, most of it doesn't fit well or isn't cut right anyway, so you end up feeling less attractive! I've become a non-snob now, and will go wherever the well-made clothes that fit me right are congregating.
