Blog 1 - Fashion Etiquette

I was wondering for days what the subject of my blog could be, nervous that everyone had their ideas already. Then it struck me. Literally.

I was walking through Primark on Oxford Street, searching for bargains when a small woman barged passed me with no concern whatsoever that her obscurely large foot stamped all over mine. I go flying, and shout, “I know we’re in Primark but there’s no need to be rude!” So, then I realise, for my blog, I’ll write the rules and etiquette of fashion and shopping, so maybe, if I return to Primark, I won’t come home with a limp.

Rule number one: manners. No matter what shop, be it Prada or Primark, Debenhams or Dolce and Gabbana, pushing and rudeness should be left for the mosh pit instead of the shop floor. In high street shops it becomes more acceptable to ignore the existence of other customers and shop for oneself even if it means snatching clothes out of others hands.

I say, forget rummaging through clothes found on the floor, tripping people up in the process. Try saying please and thank you instead of, “Oi! That’s mine!”
