The ACC Tournament of Women’s Athletic Wear is Here!
I love my alma mater, the University of Virginia. I go back to visit the grounds regularly because I have such fond memories of my time in college. It helps that I met my husband there and we were married in the chapel of the university. I keep up with lots of my college friends and donate regularly. That being said, there are areas for improvement.
Last May, I was in the large university book store where they sell all of the clothing with the university’s name on them. I was very excited to buy something because the men’s basketball team had just won the national championship in March, so I wanted to get a shirt to commemorate the event. My husband was with me shopping for the same reason. We headed into the store to find the perfect item. Very quickly, I was disappointed because the women’s section in the store was very small. There were hardly any choices for something that would fit me well. Whereas the men’s section had many, many designs from which to choose. I was frustrated that I could not find a shirt in my size because the women’s section was very picked over since it was a reunion weekend. My husband, on the other hand, had no problem finding a shirt for himself. When I asked for help from the woman who worked there, she did not seem worried that the women’s section was so small and told me to come back when they restocked. I live 3.5 hours…
