EGADS! You attempted to navigate the wilds of The Bay by yourself? Have you gone soft in the head? The Bay requires the skill of an advanced shopper. Once you've mastered The Bay, London, New York and Milan are your playground. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
You need start small. Perhaps Sherway Gardens if you're up for a trek. It's pricey, but soothing. And you're only going to dip a toe in the water. Maybe even Queen West shops if you can find something to your liking. Next, try Old Navy. Yes, yes, I know. Their "FASH" ad campaign IS so vile and insidious it serves as a repellent of sorts, but there are many, many deals and some truly comfortable, serviceable clothes.
Then, when you're comfortable with Old Navy, you can try The Bay again. Find the sale racks (near the elevators to Arcadian Court). They're less daunting for the uninitiated. If you can FIND a salesperson (and godspeed to you on this quest), ask them for help. The fitting room is your FRIEND (unless you are a woman and it is swimsuit season). Not sure if you're a S, M, or L? Grab one of each!
There are many women on your flist. Do not be afraid to seek our counsel. Some of us do, in fact, dream of shopping.
