What if it wasn't sight unseen? What if someone could go with you and provide you a fashionable opinion? Would you let them take the lead?
I want to say possibly but the honest truth is Nordstrom has (or had) a personal shopper option and I never used them when shopping there so I can't imagine doing so anywhere else either.
I've finally managed to get my mother-in-law to stop buying for me sight-unseen :-P
