I could possibly take 50 pair of pants into a dressing room and sometimes be lucky if one fits and looks right. One store I go to does have a 7 day exchange only policy, but it's not really worth the trip back over to exchange one item when I can donate it with a couple other things and get a 30% off next purchase coupon.<br />It's interesting to see so many people don't try on. I sometimes head to the dressing room with 60 items or so. No joke. It's sad. haAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733506378522968525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189072163606813879.post-19161414714826687492012-05-29T17:29:20.010-07:002012-05-29T17:29:20.010-07:00Yeah, I may very lightly hand sew them to taper a ...Yeah, I may very lightly hand sew them to taper a bit and see what it looks like. If I mess them up I could easily undo it I think.

I like them under thinner pants that don't have pockets on the butt to hide the bumps. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189072163606813879.post-2471739061643875552012-05-29T11:31:43.176-07:002012-05-29T11:31:43.176-07:00It happens!

There is one thrift store that I don't use the dressing room at because it's not a good one, so I take chances there, mostly to success, but not always.Beth (Coffee Until Cocktails)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13966675621394412590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189072163606813879.post-73538248747793570072012-05-29T11:26:46.397-07:002012-05-29T11:26:46.397-07:00You're so pristine, Melanie. :)

I'm going to think of you now every time I'm in one of those dressing rooms and that little voice is going to whisper "Melanie would not approve of your unsanitary actions here, Lisa." hahahaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733506378522968525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189072163606813879.post-85743764250776944662012-05-29T10:59:34.037-07:002012-05-29T10:59:34.037-07:00Ha, ha, I loved your comments about the pants bein...Ha, ha, I loved your comments about the pants being rescue dogs! Whether I try something on or not depends on the store. If it's a VERY clean store I might; if not, no way - I take my chances on fit. Usually I don't walk away with a dog(!), but sometimes my rescues end up right back where I got them. Howl!! Fantastic post. You got some wonderful items in the end.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218727738029858422noreply@blogger.com
