I have learned my lesson yet I keep going back to that store!

If I'm just looking for a cute item that's in trend, but doesn't have any lasting value, I don't spend too much on it, and usually get a cheaper alternative, or just pass on the trend. In your list, the two skirts (tiered ones, and the lace ones are good examples). Otherwise I think quality is more important than quantity to me. And of course there are things that are just too cute to pass, even though they look like they were made of crud. :D And you know which item I'm talking about.Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06149840120531072323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661922021234840852.post-34515715444329678572010-09-10T22:25:37.083-04:002010-09-10T22:25:37.083-04:00I agree with PetiteXXS.

But yeah, F21's return policy sucks so that deters me from shopping online, and shopping in store is so crazy and definitely hit or miss. So part of the higher prices of places like LOFT and Ann Taylor includes a nicer shopping experience and customer service I guess.PetiteXXShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452994753872183538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661922021234840852.post-2417888183940893062010-09-10T15:56:43.456-04:002010-09-10T15:56:43.456-04:00I just wanted to say how much I LOVE your blog :) ...I just wanted to say how much I LOVE your blog :) I'm pretty new at bloging and I don't really know how did I came accross your blog, but it's definitly one of my favorites.

Those items look nice, I wish sizing is smaller.<br /><br />I can't bring myself to love the quality and price of Ann Taylor Loft to the point that I am willing to pay full price. Most of their clothes I see in person are made of paper thin and sheer fabrics. I expect more quality at that price.Nelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035369532382303724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661922021234840852.post-40832803713324659742010-09-10T14:44:17.783-04:002010-09-10T14:44:17.783-04:00Thanks ladies!

I don't feel bad for wearing their stuff once or twice and tossing because it's so cheap.

I have seen them copy big names like Alice+Olivia, Free Ppl, DVF and now AT it seems!<br /><br />I actually just took advantage of the shipping for $40 and placed an order, can't wait to get it :D Although sizes are big, I always tuck in and wear a cardi so no one knows hehe.
