Shopping

Last Saturday I went to a department store, which is situated not far from my house. I wanted to buy a rain coat. There were many rain coats on sale and I chose one of them. I liked the style, the stuff and the cut. And it was not very expensive. I went to the fitting-room to try it on, but unfortunately it was too tight in the shoulders, so I asked the shop assistant to show me another. She brought me another rain coat and it was just my size. It fitted me perfectly and it was very becoming. I paid at the desk and took my purchase. When I came home and showed it to my wife, she said she liked it very much.
