I had a customer who wanted an engagement ring we had for sale but, we didnt have it in her size. I 've only covered the jewlery department for breaks so I don 't have much knowledge about it. So we went through several other rings to try them out only to find we only carry a standard size 7 ring. I too the info about the ring down and called up our other kmart stores to inquire about other sizes. Unfortunately I found all kmart stores only carry in the size 7. So I asked manage managment on our ring size option for our online store. I printed up the skew numbers and gave them to the customer. What is your biggest failure? Not starting college sooner, I am still young, but I felt like I should have started no later than a year after graduating.

How often would I work? What times would you most likely need me, since I currently have a part time…

because they don't affect us. We write them off as if they are not our problem. Society as a whole sets standards that are unrealistic and unattainable. For this reason people become discouraged and often forget to love themselves as they are. Last week, while visiting a mall in California, this was unfortunately brought to my attention. I went to this mall specifically to visit a store called "Brandy Melville". Brandy is a store that is very popular with my generation and often seen on…
movie WALL-E, “we consciously or unconsciously switch the gender mix to what delights us the most.” Although the makers of the movie don’t directly state the gender of either character, WALL-E and EVE, we rely on basic appearance cues to determine the gender we believe most fits them. The same is true for nonmetallic beings, humans, who construct intricate methods of yielding desired identities by means of clothing. While the gender of fictional characters, such as those in WALL-E, is…
a prominent clothing company for young adult women. But when 34 percent of teen girls report to buy plus sized clothing (a statistic that has doubled since 2012), the increase in retail options should not come as a surprise.

Fatema Mernissi argues in her essay, "Size 6: The Western Women 's Harem,” that Western men control the fashion industry, and in turn, control the female perception of beauty. While Fatema Mernissi 's perception of the expectation of US women to maintain a small frame is…
It is what drives our economy and allows us a wide variety of choices when it comes to food, clothing, and shelter; therefore, allowing us to be as creative and individualistic as we would like. It creates jobs and stability for families. Without our desire to consume, there would be no need for many businesses and would in turn affect their ability to provide for their families. From an international viewpoint, it does build businesses in poverty-stricken communities and provides jobs for…
The company was beyond effective, striking this viral campaign to shatter body image stereotypes when Lululemon’s company was slipping, usually dominating the women’s athletic clothing market like leggings. At the time of Under armours launch, Lululemon’s numbers were dropping from a recall of too-see-through yoga pants. A 35% decrease in sales was also aided by Lululemon’s CEO Chip Wilson.
