For me, the in-person shopping experience &#8211; could never go out of style.<\/p>\n<p>There is a phrase that is said: \u201cbuild it and they will come\u201d, and that is something I had in mind when I visited Mango. There was no shortage of people, young and old, exploring the fabulous fashions on display.<\/p>\n<p>I knew the moment I went into the new shop that it was going to be a huge asset for the city. It was a huge loss to the town when Debenhams closed, and it\u2019s just wonderful to see a city centre building thriving with life again.<\/p>\n<p>The memories came flowing back as I went into Mango, of me as a young woman working in Roches Stores in the early-70s in the mods and rockers department. There, I learned how to get a feel for styling, fashion advice and I became aware of how stylish women carried themselves.<\/p>\n<p>It is from the high street that I learned how stylish women can command a room with how they are dressed and how they stand tall &#8211; and for that experience I will always be grateful.<\/p>\n<p>-Xx Celia<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n<p>ADVERTISEMENT &#8211; CONTINUE READING BELOW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WHAT a month it has been for Limerick.
