NORDSTROM HAS OFFICIALLY CUT TIES WITH IVANKA TRUMPíS

BRAND AND THEY CLAIM THAT THE REASON WHY THEY DID SO IS

Transition words & phrases

NOT DUE TO POLITICS BUT MOSTLY BECAUSE HER SALES HAVE BEEN

IF YOU CAN REMEMBER A FEW MONTHS AGO, THERE WAS A BOYCOTT OF HER

PRODUCTS OR AT LEAST A BOYCOTT OF CERTAIN RETAIL COMPANIES THAT

SELL HER PRODUCTS AND THAT COULD'VE PLAYED A ROLE BUT

NORDSTROM IS SAYING THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IVANKA

TRUMP OR HER FATHERíS POLITICS, SHE JUST HASN'T REALLY BEEN

DOING A GOOD JOB IN SELLING HER PRODUCTS AND WE NEED TO

AS RECENTLY AS THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER, 71 DIFFERENT IVANKA

TRUMP PRODUCTS WERE AVAILABLE ON THE NORDSTROM'S WEBSITE.

ON WEDNESDAY, NINE PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE.

ACCORDING TO A SPOKESPERSON AT NORDSTROM, EACH YEAR WE CUT

ABOUT 10% OF BRANDS CARRIED AND REFRESH OUR ASSORTMENT WITH

ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT.IN THIS CASE, BASED ON THE

BRAND'S PERFORMANCE, WE DECIDED NOT TO BUY IT FOR THE SEASON.

I WONDER, I WISH THERE WAS A BETTER WAY TO GAUGE IT.

IS THIS JUST A NORMAL FALLOFF OR SOMETHING LIKE SOMETIMES

MAYBE THEY FOUND SOME STITCHES WERE ALWAYS MISSING OR

GAUGE AND READOUT OF HOW MAYBE PEOPLEíS PUSH, WHAT DO THEY

INTERNET ACTIVISM, HOW MUCH HASHTAGS PUSH THIS BECAUSE I

HAVE CRITICIZED THEM, WHEN WE TRIED TO BOYCOTT CHICK-FIL-A

PEOPLE ARE GOING TO EAT IT, ITíS GOING TO HAPPEN.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH AN OFFICIAL BOYCOTT CONTRIBUTED TO

THIS BUT I DO KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION AND PEOPLE

ARE VERY HYPERAWARE OF DIFFERENT PLAYERS AND WHAT THEY ARE

ASSOCIATED WITH AND WHAT THEY MIGHT BE SELLING US, AND SO FOR

ME, I LOVE THE BOYCOTT BUT I DIDN'T PUSH FOR IT AND I DIDN'T

CONSIDER MYSELF OFFICIALLY PART OF IT, BUT I WAS AT MARSHALL'S A

FEW MONTHS AGO AND I LOVE MARSHALL'S, THAT IS MY JAM.

THAT IS WHERE YOU FIND SOME REALLY GOOD BRAND-NAME

IT'S ROSS DRESS FOR LESS, NOT MARSHALL'S.

THAT'S IN THE POST AND I WILL FIGHT ABOUT IT.

I WENT TO THE CLEARANCE RACK AS I NORMALLY DO AND I SAW A FEW

DRESSES THAT I REALLY LIKE AND SAY GOING TO THE DRESSING ROOM

TO TRY THEM ON AND OF COURSE YOU ARE GOING TO SEE WHAT THE

LABEL IS AND IT WAS IVANKA TRUMP AND I HAVE TO BE HONEST,

I LIKE THE STYLE THAT SHE PUTS OUT THERE, IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO

WHAT I LIKE TO DRESS IN BUT AS SOON AS I SAW THAT LABEL, MADE

IN CHINA, DIDN'T EVEN TRIED ON THOUGHT I WAS LIKE I'M NOT GOING

TO BUY THE STAR AT A MAKE A BIG STINK ABOUT IT BUT IT'S JUST

ME PRACTICING ACTIVISM THROUGH CONSUMERISM, THERE MY MONEY.

I COULD FIND CUTE DRESSES MADE HERE IN AMERICA THAT WILL

COST ME A LITTLE MORE AND MAYBE I WON'T FIND THEM AT

MARSHALL'S, BUT I WOULD RATHER DO THAT THAN SUPPORT

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE STORY SPECIFICALLY IS THAT IT TRULY

PUSHED ME OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE BECAUSE EARLIER TODAY I FOUND

MYSELF LOOKING AT WOMEN'S SHOES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS.

MY MOM IS GOING TO BE VERY THRILLED THAT SHE'S LIKE

THERE'S HOPE THAT IN ANY CASE, I WAS LOOKING AT SORT OF THE

PRICE POINTS OF WHAT HER LINE CAUSE AND EVERYTHING AND I

HAVE NOTICED THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST FEW

MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A MAJOR NOSEDIVE AND HOW MUCH

THEY'RE COSTING COMPARED TO HOW THEY WERE PRIOR TO THE ELECTION.

I WAS TALKING TO AN EDITOR OUTSIDE BEFORE WE CAME

INSIDE SHE SAID SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS REALLY FUNNY.

SHE SAID THEY LOOK LIKE THEYíRE HILLARY CLINTON SHOES AND I

SAID, THAT'S FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT BECAUSE THESE ARE

THE OTHER THING COMMON TO YOUR POINT ANA, I WAS TALKING TO

A FRIEND OF MINE AS SHE WAS GOING TO AN INFORMATIONAL

BUSINESS LUNCH WITH SOMEONE SHE DIDN'T KNOW AND THEY WERE

TALKING AND SHE NOTICE AT THE END OF THE ONCE OF THE GIRL

WAS WEARING IVANKA TRUMP SHOES AND THEY HAD A REALLY NICE

BUSINESS LUNCHEON MEETING BUT SHE WAS TALKING TO ME AFTERWARD

AS SHE WAS SAYING I WONDER IF THAT ALIGNS WITH HER POLITICALLY.

I COULDN'T TELL AND IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER BUT IT'S CALLED INTO

QUESTION BECAUSE SHE WAS WEARING THE SHOES.

WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE ARE BOYCOTTING IT BECAUSE THEY

HATE DONALD TRUMP OR BECAUSE THEY LOVE HILLARY CLINTON

OR WHATEVER, I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BECAUSE JUST ABOUT

WEARING CLOTHING LINE THAT ALIGNS SO OBVIOUSLY WITH

I WOULD UNDERSTAND WHY SALES MIGHT BE DECLINING FOR

NORDSTROM TO MAKE THIS NATURAL CONCLUSION THAT WE NEED TO

I HONESTLY, MAYBE I WOULD, IT FEELS TRENDY THE WAY SOMETHING

WITH OBAMA ON A BUT THERE IS A SLUSHER THIS IS MELIA.

IT SAYS IT'S OKAY, WE ALL SMOKED I TOTALLY WANT TO GET THAT

SLUSHER BATTER KNOW IF I WOULD WEAR THAT DURING HIS PRESIDENCY

BECAUSE YOU JUST DON'T ONE ALIENATE ANYONE YOU COULD MEET.

DON'T WALK UP TO SOMEONE AND BE LIKE HERE, JUDGE ME BASED
