Today I went to buy clothes. And I found one!

I also found a store where they did an effort on the fitting rooms (two mirrors, large enough bench). But more interesting a wheel to dim lights. And I could dim it enough to a comfortable level.

That honestly sounds like a great idea for everyone. You can try on clothes and see how they look in different light levels.

isn't it nice when you find a place that is comfortable and welcoming like that? it seems friendly and considerate, and makes me feel peaceful and content.

It feel like they think to me, I don't know if it's really the case but it's still heartwarming. I got pants, not too hot, not too tight, with enough cotton. It's like it give a meaning to the hours I spent without finding a good pant.
