My Personal Shopping Experience at Topshop, Oxford Street

I have just had my first Topshop personal shopping experience, and I write this article with a spring in my step and a whole new A/W wardrobe!
I am a massive Topshop fan but I usually find the Oxford Circus store so overwhelming due to the size and sheer amount of clothes within.
I’d heard about the Personal Shopping option but disregarded it before as I thought it would take lots of time and cost money! Also, I am a bit of a lone shopper. I like to browse the rails on my own looking for something to pop out and I hate pushy sale assistants who get in my face and try to convince me that the dress I’m trying on is ‘AMAZING’, even though it fits terribly and makes me look ridiculous, so I was worried that the Personal Shopper would be an extension of this.
So before the big day you have to send your shopper a briefing on what you like, answering a few questions about what you’re looking for, your style, likes/dislikes, size, skin, hair and eye colour. So I explained that I was hoping for a bit of a capsule wardrobe for autumn.
When I got to the store I was shown to a large dressing room with a rail packed full of clothes, accessories and shoes. My Personal Shopper then discussed what they had chosen for me, then it was my turn to pick out what I definitely would NOT wear and then they left and let me try on their selections.
