August: Bargain days at the clothing stores! This is the time when all of the fashion mistakes show up on the claerance racks! You know…all the styles and colors that the carefully-researched customers rejected! All here at 50% off (if you can tolerate the social ridicule that comes from embracing the failedfashion trends!).
Anyway, my question refers to swimsuits: my localJC Penney’s has racks of unsold Speedos-those brief,underwear type swimsuits. Apparently, their buyer went out of hismind, and ordered a 300-year supply?
Nobody I know wears these…so how does a buyer make such a mistake?or was this guy fired?
Anybody ever work as a clothing buyer? what accounts for these lapses in judgement?
