too old?

Over the last 6 weeks I have been going through my house organizing and cleaning as if I were about to deliver twins! Nope- promise thats not it. But in doing this I am getting rid of some clothing that even though I can still get it on my body- the cut just isnt quite right for me any longer.. so off to a Consignment Store down in jacksonville called Plato’s Closet. They carry everything! name brand as well! So in I go with my bag full of goodies.. well to me they were goodies anyway.

The girl working behind the counter appeared to be at most 20 yrs old- cute girl- she explained it would be about an hour until they could tell me what they would keep of mine and what not- so off I went to run errands.. An hour goes by, I walk in she smiles at me and hands me my bag. It somewhat looked the same to me, but I figured it was just her putting the clothes in differently than I had them. Ummm no . She says to me as she pops her gum with a big smile, ” I’m sorry Ma’am but these just arent young enough for our store, but Thanks!”  and then wants to go on about how it would be soo cool if her Mom had her nose pierced like I do.. I really contemplated putting my fingers in my ears, ” lalalalalalalala.”

Nice, huh? here I thought Old Navy, Tommy, Gap, a few cute ones from target were young.. kinda hip anyay.. guess not.. So I laughed out loud and asked in a rather slow sarcastic kind of voice, ” well, maybe you could point me in the direction of the Consignment for us Older people?” of course she then tried to make it all better- whateveh ya little teenage beyotch! and out the door I went.. so today I am headed out to find another- wish me luck on finding the Consignment for the old folks! LOL!
