Shifting For Facts

Store policy is different for every location and store but this is the information set I secretly acquired as I shopped in the Niceville FL Forever 21 today. I summed up the information for any sales associates or curious fashion goers. In the event that a customer is left to fend for the last size and finds that it is latched on to a manican, how do YOU as a sales associate redress the bare-butt manican? Focus not on the obvious but the texture first. For example: the texture and silohette of the missing piece of clothing. A taken black skater-style skirt does not have to be replaced with another black skater skirt. Focus on the texture first like I previously stated. This will help narrow down any other skirt options available and again add that missing piece that store policy has set for sales associates to dress on each labeled manikin. Depending on the top half of the outfit, you can grab a knitted, cordorey, or even pleated black skirt. Secondly focus on the silhoette. The skirt prior was a skater-skirt style however this aspect of the outfit does have to be semi-similar because silhouette has a dramatic effect on the overall appearance of the outfit itself. For example in this scenario, the skirt was in an outward style but if it was replaced with a body-con black skirt, then it would take the look from “cute” to club or party-wear and that is not what the company was going for. Again these are all very important pieces of information that are completly checked over to any customer, shoppers think, “oh I want to work at a retail store so I can dress the manicans,” little do they know its a well oiled machine with higher power to do those jobs.

Stay informed and educated gals!
