In what has become an annual post-Christmas tradition, 31-year-old Louise Jennings and her mum, Denise, have once again spent an entire Boxing Day hitting every department store in the Westfield mall, and bought fuck all except lunch.
Hoping that this year will somehow be different, the pair had been on the hunt for some nice clothes, only to discover, yet again, that clothes shopping at Betoota Westfields is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
“I’m convinced they send all the shit stock to the all the Westfields in the suburbs, and the city stores get all the nice, trendy clothes”, admits Louise, “I once shopped at the one in Sydney and it was like I was in Tokyo or something.”
Denise too echoes this statement, admitting that shopping as 60 year old is pure hell.
“They definitely bring out all the frumpy shit out for Boxing Day sales. All the dresses are shapeless with puffy sleeves.”
“My options are Millers or Katies.”
“It’s bloody grim.”
Though they didn’t end up buying anything, the two did enjoy a lukewarm breakfast at the Coffee Club, and even though Denise had to ask the staff to reheat the eggs in the microwave, it was still reasonably okay.
More to come.
