Navigating social-distancing measures and restricted access to changing rooms, shopping during coronavirus feels a lot different to the retail therapy we were used to. It’s one thing to hold up a sweater or suss the length of a skirt on the shopfloor, but bra fitting during lockdown is an entirely special experience.
In late 2020, in that blink-and-you-missed-it period stay-at-home sanctions eased, I took the train to Glasgow with a good friend.
The rain was hammering down, but the change of scenery was a joy. Just what we needed!
Diving into a shop, taking cover from the downpour, we were instantly inspired and swishing through rails of goodies.
As any grown-up’s that haven’t seen glamour in months, we were quickly laden with loads we wanted to try.
Smiling from ear to ear as an assistant approached, we hoped to help carry our haul to the fitting room, the masked man instead delivered, deadpan, “You can’t try those on.”
Who knows if the line was delivered with a smile, or an inaudible explanatory apology? But we were crushed.
Emptying our arms, we made for the exit.
Except we couldn’t do that either!
Hazard tape deferred us through an alternative awkward re-entry to the wet world outside. Where we stood feeling dejected and unwelcome.
And as we scanned the horizon only more hazard tape and stop signs appeared.
It’s like Corona is code for Can’t.
I am so not down for Can’t being part of today’s vocabulary.
As a double Taurus (moon AND sun in the same sign amplifying those strong bullish vibes), there is always a work around.
