chanda and i went shopping today in midtown at the uniqlo store.
we've been looking for wool peacoats . . preferably on sale . . !
i like the uniqlo stores because they organize by color and everything is kept very neat. of course the difficulty of this is that every floor looks the same . . but at least i don't feel overwhelmed when i walk in. also, the music isn't as loud as in other stores, so it's a bit more bearable.
it took me about five songs before i realized they were playing christmas tunes! i took this movie because i was so surprised, though chanda thought i was taking a picture.
we ended up getting puffy down vests that were on sale.
What you like in stores reminds me of what I hate about Old Navy. It is always in disarray, the music is awful and they have too much junk. They do have good boys' pants and good baby/toddler items, but most girls' things are also not great. This is one of the stores that is not 2 hours away so we sometimes ago, but the sore does not make me happy.
ReplyDeleteOh, I empathize! I have had to shop many times in Old Navy because in the past the girls have liked their summer tank tops and their jeans. After just a few minutes I am ready to scream or leave! I think you would like the Uniqlo stores. I actually enjoyed many of the Christmas tunes they were playing . . they weren't obnoxious.
DeleteI think the quality of the girls's tops is not very good at Old Navy anymore. Everything is so thin and flimsy looking. We have found a few dresses for Charlotte and also jackets, though. I prefer Target for her these days although last time we looked, I was disappointed too. That was about a month ago. Most jeans Charlotte has are from consignment stores, I never look for them in the real stores, you can find plenty of them used around here, more than anything else. Do you like the Old Navy jeans? The music in Old Navy is also always so loud that you cannot stay and look for long, I think. Maybe it is there technique to make people buy quickly? I will keep Uniqlo in mind, I have never seen a store around here.
