ship shape shop
random thoughts about two stores i shop at.
1. for the most part, i really hate going into anthropologie because usually i get super annoyed at the flimsy cotton tees they sell for 90 bucks a pop. lame.
but i go back every blue moon in hopes of finding a super great deal on something fun -- like i did with my long black wool coat. it's long, warm, adorable, and i got it on sale for a great price. it's a coat i never grow tired of, and which i still get compliments on, nearly every time i wear it out the door.
so -- i dropped in on friday, for kicks, as i haven't gone in that store in many many months... and i emerged with an adorable pair of jeans. they fit great, they feel great, they're a great color and style -- and they were less than 1/2 the price of my "awesome jeans" (which i got at AB Fits -- the only pair of jeans i have ever truly Loved.) plus - they were 1/2 off their original price, too. go me!
2. i know i'm 27, but i can't help but love the store forever 21. i don't care that it's a disaster zone when i go in, with 16 year olds running through the store squeeling and throwing the clothes around like its their bedroom. i don't care that the place is chaotic and ridiculous and loud and i feel like i'm 90 years old when i walk around it. that store rocks. why!?
- $6.80 tees that are cool colors & fit perfect. oh & did i mention if you buy 2 they will only cost you $10?
- pants/slacks that fit better and feel more comfortable than any pair i can get at a nicer store... for less than $20.
- i don't feel guilty buying dumb trendy stuff that i'll hate in 3 months because it's SO FREAKIN CHEAP.
- i miss the days when my bedroom was a mess. its nostalgic being in there.

Amen sister.
I order stuff from Forever 21 online because I just can't bring myself to drive all the way to Denver for that mad house.
