Fashion21 Experience
Four days after the Grand Opening, I asked my husband to come with me to F21. I was scared to visit the shop without my husband because I might find myself racking up credit debt with my two cards if I'll visit the shop alone.
F21 gives me mixed emotions.
EXCITEMENT - every fashionista at heart feels this. The moment bloggers announced the grand opening, almost all of us wanted to be there. I admit I was there - late. Looking at how long the line is, I just didn't have the time to wait.
GUILT - Yes, I absolutely feel guilty if I'll walk out the shop just carrying stuff for me. So upon entering the store I asked my husband to check the men's section first. (and the side comments started )
LOSING MY APPETITE - while checking on the dresses, I saw the queue on the cashier that makes me lost my excitement. I just don't have a time to wait that long just to pay for a couple of items. There are lots of stocks, I can pay another visit.
We looked around and checked all the items and my husband keeps on saying what's with this store that makes you all go crazy? My reply "IT'S FOREVER 21!" He's like "SO? The clothes are good but there's nothing special about it. You have lots of clothes that looks better than this and a lot more cheaper". I guess he's right.
Upon checking some of the dresses the fabric quality is not that good, the stitches are loose. It's just too delicate to just put it on the spinning tub.
The shoes, honestly yes it's affordable but I'm not sure 'bout the quality. I'll check on my sissy if hers will last that long.
Accessories are definitely a NO No for me. I can find cheaper and more quality bling blings somewhere. =)
So I rest my case. I'm not going to shop in F21 unless I'll be attending a special event that requires me to dress up. I'm just an "Occassional Fashionista" that's too lazy to dress up everyday.
Don't hate me. I still love F21!
I'll still stick to "If it's not on SALE don't buy it".
