J's Everyday Fashion
This morning I engaged in the same routine I do daily. Check my email, check my phone, and browse online stores for cute clothes. While looking at the Ann Taylor Facebook page, I stumbled upon a blog I really enjoyed reading. The blog is called, “J’s Everyday Fashion.” The blog focuses on taking fashion from fantasy to everyday life. For anyone who cannot imagine how a runway trend could every function in everyday life—I highly suggest checking out this blog. I was inspired by a post that focused on how to successfully shop at Forever 21. I hate shopping at Forever 21. The store is so crowded, gigantic, and the return policy is ridiculous. I do, however, seem to often find myself commenting on how much I like a friends shirt, only to learn it came from Forever 21. Whenever this happens the same thought comes into my head, “WHY can’t I ever find anything cute at Forever 21.”
So, after a pointless job interview, I headed to the Mall of America on a mission—a mission to successfully bargain shop. I successfully walked past J Crew, Bloomingdales and Nordstrom. I marched onto Forever 21 and H&M. My trip was semi-successful. H&M was good to me; I left the store with a new nautical stripped boat neck shirt, a faux turquoise ring and a leather bracelet—all for under $20. Nautical inspired clothing is supposed to be a big trend this spring and summer. I do have to admit H&M and Forever 21 are the perfect places to try new trends, even if I do sometimes struggle with the quality of clothing these stores carry. When I finally made it to Forever 21, I searched and searched through the mass of clothing and found NOTHING. Unfortunately, I still am a Forever 21 failure.
H&M Boatneck. Love!
