Coldwater Creek

I received a multi-​page flyer and I WAS INSULTED BY THIS SO-​CALLED POLICY.
What is it? Every page had an attractive model, BUT what did the photographer do?
The top of her head was at the very top margin of the page and the feet at the end of the page.
Now this company sells PETITES… yet, God Forbid that their merchandiser or
publicity GENIUS, select a short model to model petites. Our money is good enough
to buy from them, but our «short bodies» too ugly to model their clothes in their brochures.
Every single page showed a model’s head at the top and her feet on the very bottom of
the page. I AM TOTALLY TURNED OFF AND INSULTED by this policy, their photographer
who obviously believes that 6 ft models MUST model the clothes, not some short person.
Coldwater Creek, I and two of my fellow «stunted» friends say goodbye to you and your
hurtful policies.

This isn’t one of my go-​to shops when I am browsing or looking to buy clothes but on occasion I have found things I’ve liked in here. So on a recent rainy day, having also noted signs in the window that a sale was going on, I decided to go in.
I was greeted right away by one of the saleswomen but then left to look around which I like. I prefer to get a lay of the land before getting personal help from someone.
The summer is when I tend to wear more and brighter colors and leave my more neutral clothing palette to the winter months. I was happy to be reminded that Coldwater Creek is indeed a place to find plenty of color.
There were in fact some great sales going on; 40% off some already discounted items.
I found several tops that I liked and after trying several on, settled on two. One is a deep pink and white subtle print and the other a bright green. Both will pair well with white summer pants, capris or skirts that I already own.
Seeing that I was wearing a pink print dress, a saleswoman came over to me with a fun pair of two tone pink beaded earrings that in fact went perfectly with the dress I had on. As well, it turned out they were also perfect for the pink top I was planning on purchasing.
I couldn’t resist, so I bought the earrings too. Good saleswoman! She got me… but I’m grateful! In fact I’m wearing those earrings today with yet another outfit I already had in my closet.
The one thing to be careful of here is that not all of the fabrics are «real»…so if these things matter to you as they do to me, read the labels to find things that are cotton or otherwise and not poly blends.
Fun place for an occasional look-​see and good sales.
