My favorite retailer: Ross


My favorite retailer in the world and the place where I always go to shop is at Ross. Ross is a very popular retailer where I love to go to shop to "dress for less."I love to shop at Ross for five reasons. One, Ross sells many different types and varieties of designer apparel such as Lee jeans and Levis jeans and also Nine West apparel. Ross also sells other kinds of apparel made from designers such as Carolyn Taylor, Spencer Jeremy, and Pria.

Another reason why I love to shop at Ross is that Ross sells apparel in different sizes. Ross sells apparel in many sizes from petites to junior/misses sizes to women's sizes. Ross also sells apparel in Men's sizes, too. The third reason why Ross is my favorite retailer to shop at because Ross sells its apparel at discount sizes. For example, at Ross, a pair of jeans, in any size or style, will cost you $14.99, whereas, if you go to other retailers such as WalMart or Catos to shop for a pair of jeans, it will cost you $18.99 to $26.99. That's the same for if you decide to buy a sweater from Ross, it will cost you anywhere from $13.99 to $19.99, whereas, if you decide to go to retailer like Catos, a sweater will cost you around $21.99.
A fourth reason why Ross is my favorite retailer is that Ross not only sells apparel, but it sells other items, such as handbags, belts, scarves, and shoes. The handbags that are sold at Ross, such as BabyFat and Nine West, are sold at discount prices lower than anywhere else. Ross not only sells handbags, but it also sells items for the home such as bed linen, bath towels and cloths, picture frames and rugs. The last reason why Ross is my favorite retailer is because Ross has excellent customer service. Whether I need help with something or I am just looking around in the store, the employees at Ross are always willing to help me out.

Idecided to major in apparel product design because I love fashion, it is my passion, and I love to draw and design clothes. One day, I would like to be a fashion designer and have my own line of apparel, just like Donna Karan and Calvin Klein, who are two of my favorite designers in this world. I would also like to be a fashion designer because fashion really inspires me-a lot. Some of my hobbies are drawing and painting, shopping, and dancing, although I do not go to nighttime clubs at all.
