nine and company

I took my oldest shopping last week, and we went to Beall’s, which is a chain of department stores in Florida. I was able to find 3 pairs of new jeans that fit in both the waist and leg (score!) and then I got a little frustrated. I normally shop in the juniors section…not because I am trying to hold onto my youth, but because clothes from the women’s section don’t fit me. The pants are too big, the shirts fall off of me. The petites section doesn’t have arms / legs long enough for my limbs. I also think clothing from the womens section tends to look…matronly. However, from time to time I venture into the womens section hoping I can find something professional for work, because finding that type of outfit in the juniors section…well, it doesn’t happen.

I came across a shirt on the clearance rack by Nine and Company, which I later discovered is a division of Nine West Shoes. I found a darling brown dressy shirt, complete with polka dots (I do love polka dots!) on clearance for only $22. And then when I got to the register, I was given an extra discount since it was a red line item, so I got the shirt for only $13.20. Since it has short sleeves, the arm length wasn’t an issue, and the small was a perfect fit. The shirt isn’t on the Nine and Company website, but while I was looking for it, I discovered quite a few items not in the department store. I think I’m about to become a repeat customer of Nine and Company.
