This week marks the arrival of my mothership - H&M has finally come to Calgary. It opens at 12 noon this Thursday. I would LOVE to blow off work and be one of the first in line. In honour of H&M coming I'm posting my top 5 tips for shopping at H&M. The un-initiated to H&M will come to realize the wisdom of my advice and the experienced H&M shoppers will whole-heartedly agree!
5. Take a deep breath before you enter. Have a calm state of mind. Be prepared to be overwhelmed. Have a bottle of water and maybe some snacks in your bag to give you endurance. Don't be intimidated by the vacant eyed skinny teenagers wandering around the store trying to pass themselves off as customer service. The attitude is - shop here if you dare - it's unorganized and we probably won't help you. We're just here to look cool in our H&M clothes!
4. Pick up anything you like the first time you see it. NOTHING is organized according to style only by colour.
3. Go through every rack two times - it is very easy to miss a treasure by going too quickly.
2. If possible don't try anything on - buy everything you like in extra sizes. Take it home try it on there and return anything you don't end up liking, doesn't fit or is the wrong colour. You can only bring in 7 items and trust me when I say that is just NOT enough. The change rooms are also hot and small and like I already said - the staff usually aren’t very helpful.
1. Enjoy shopping in a clothing paradise! With H&M in the city you can go as often as you like so as the saying goes if at first you don't succeed - try, try again! The gas to Market Mall is SO much cheaper than the plane ticket to Toronto, London, Paris, or Dublin!
