Yesterday, I went shopping for the first time in months with the purpose of making an actual purchase for myself, as opposed to working on a homework assignment. I needed to buy a few dresses because I have a few major events to attend in the next two weekends. I decided to go into a few shops that were exclusive to the mall I was in. I made my way into the store "Francesca's Collections". It was the type of shop you'd see in Florence, Italy, SOHO in NYC or on Melrose in L.A. I had a few looks in mind. I was thinking of several movies I've watched recently where the stars were wearing white dresses, such as Kate Hudson in Something Borrowed. I also had in mind, Holiday in the Sun, with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I know I've brought that movie up before, but there is this spectacular white dress they both wear, and I have desired to own that dress from the time the movie came out back in 2001! I finally found the dress in this Francesca's Collections boutique! How amazing is that? (By the way, this shop is also located in Atlanta, GA, Marlborough, MA, Fort Wayne, IN, Milwaukee, WI, Akron, OH, Bakersfield, CA, and Lexington, KY.) When I went to the register to purchase the item, the young woman at the register said she was going to purchase the same dress. I revealed to her why it was so appealing to me, and she was very excited because she also revealed the dress reminded her of a movie, A Little Princess to be exact, which I'm sure most young women in their early to mid-twenties have seen. Isn't it funny how we see something an actress is wearing and we are so enamored by it, we never forget it, even fifteen years later. I am completely amazed. This proves how impacting product placement really is.
