Perception

So me and My friend Laura decided our chosen place to shop was Selfridge's this week, but with a bit of a twist, we wanted to know how differently we would get treated by the clothes that we wore into the store, I dressed in sort of wacky out there clothes, i tried to go for the more drab look but it didn't really go to plan and i looked more like a geeky Shorditch Art student! Laura however tried to dress as smart and perfect as she could! she looked well groomed in a dress and fur coat along with knee high shiny boots! To our surprise, we were treated exactly the same, both asked if we needed any help and I didn't feel out of place at all, I got a few strange looks mind you but i expected that and its pretty normal to me!
I think everyone has a perception of the sort of people that shop in certain places, but to me, its not down to what you dress like, its what you can afford and the sort of things you like to buy.
