Chadwick's and Bedford Fair Catalogs: Review

Pity the mall store owners who are waiting and hoping to lure me into crossing their thresholds to purchase their wide assortment of wares. I am not a member in good standing of the "Shop til you Drop" club. Admittedly, there are times when I must swallow my pride and step foot into the mall but it is only as a last resort and I then become a woman with a mission--find my item and get out quickly!

Catalog shopping is a welcome solution to walking endless corridors and hallways to find that "must have" item. Catalog shopping with Chadwick's and Bedford Fair, two well established women's clothing and accessories catalogs, is an alternative to shopping in "brick and mortar" stores.

Selection of Merchandise
In Chadwick's and Bedford Fair's catalogs a range of ladies' clothing and accessories are available to peruse. The pages contain different categories of items such as suits, shoes, accessories and the all time favorite clearance section which I check first, especially at the end of each season. Sales and bargains and markdowns are offered in Chadwick's and Bedford Fair on par with the local retail stores. I do not need to look through endless racks of clothes to find a blouse that I like. In fact, less stock often works well for me. Chadwick's and Bedford Fair offer clothing in sizes ranging from petite to Misses.

Shop without Pressure
One thing I dislike is to go into a store and have a salesperson lurking around the corner watching my every move and asking if they can be of service. I can appreciate that they are told by their employer to approach customers but I will approach the salesperson when I need assistance. I prefer being left alone to look at the merchandise because sometimes I do not know what I want until I see it. So, to be asked "what are you looking for" does not always have a ready answer from me.
