OK, I admit it. The sales have begun, so when I went down into town to pick up my mail, last Wednesday, I thought I'd go have a look. Because it was early, the weather was nice and I wanted to be in a crowd, or atleast on a busy street, full of life and bussle. Also I just didn't want to be underground all the way back home.
So I went into Mango. It was buzzing! A queue almost as long as the store of women with several items in their hands. NOT the kind vista that usually tempts me to shop.
Because I had no intention of shopping, just browsing, this didn't deter me. So I walked around, checking the discounts - clue #1 about how the S/S 2010 season had gone in retail: Mostly 60 and 70% off which is far from the norm in Spain for the first week of sales. Proof of just how bad the season has been for everyone.
Despite the queue at the cashiers, there was no queue to try things on. Clue #2 to this season: more people than usual came in before the sales, tried things on, and prepared their wish list for the sales. Like that they didn't have to "waste their time" trying on come the sale.
Picked up a few items I hadn't seen before and try them on. Including a design from the last Mango talent competition winner - just because I was curious about the cut, and it wasn't very clear what it'd look like.
