Little Lonely Closet
May 4th, 2007 by Marie
As it is approaching Summer, the sad winter clothes in my closet need to go. I browse through my walk-in closet, if you can call it that, and look over my clothes. What a mess! Why is it that I must keep the clothing I wore as a teenager, or the “skinny” clothes I will someday fit into again, or when I was pregnant - yes there are maternity clothes in my closet still after 2 years. I promise this stuff looks cuter on me than in my closet. But I have a dilemma. If I get rid of these old clothes, the ones that I haven’t touched in atleast 12 months, what will replace them? My closet will be sooooo lonely, because more than half needs to go.
Just the other day, my hubby and I got a babysitter for the kiddies, so we could hit the Mall. For all the stores we ventured, I did find one cute little ditty from the Gap (I know, how could I buy horizontal stripes, but it is actually very flattering) and a pair of cheap shoes from Forever (Young Shoes). But, with sad success, we did have a fun date night and ate at CPK.
We need help. Here goes me again with the stripe shirt and black, pretty much plain, shoes. Look at my closet and all those stripes. My sister laughs at me all the time, never getting farther than plaid or the solid black tee. Were do you all shop for clothes? I know you are all hidding the goods so that you are the only ones wearing them. My store staples are Gap, AE, and Old Navy. HELP. I need to step out of my comfort zone and be a little more funky and fresh. It is a new summer and I am trying to get skinny and I hope to not be prego for atleast another 6-8 months!! I’ve got some time to look cute, but I need your help!
So did you guys go to F21 (our family’s nickname for forever 21) in Provo or SLC? I am so behind the eight ball - I just barely found out that it was open at Gateway, but is it already in Provo?!
Anyway, it is my favorite store to shope at. Stylish and really reasonable! love it! If I were to suggest somewhere to go it would be F21.
Okay. Here’s the deal. The place you got your shoes at University Mall is Forever YOUNG, not 21. So everyone isn’t confused, Forever 21 is open in the Gateway and will open in University Mall in August. Phew, now that we have all that straightened out… Marie - You must go to F21 because all the clothes are cheap - like anywhere from 6 bucks for a plain white tee to 22-30 for a nice dress/dressy top. It’s unbelievable, and the best part is their massive inventory of jewelry is sooo cheap. I love that store because 75% of the time, the clothes are just as good quality as any other store, but the prices are affordable enough for you to actually go along with trends. I am obsessed and for good reason. You will see!!
MARIE! everyone is right!! FOREVER 21 is where its atttt!! the store at the gateway is 2 levels and i spent maybe more than an hour in there haha im a little shopper crazy. anyway so cheap so good so fashionable! you will love it. and its so worth the drive! im so glad it made its way out to utah!
Oh, Marie, I had three people call me wondering where F21 was at University mall when I posted about it being in UT! I felt so bad I hadn’t specified the location because they had all made a trip to the mall thinking it was there when it was actually all the way up at the Gateway. So funny, but I felt so bad they had gotten confused. That is why I felt it necessary to set the record straight! :) Like Rachel, I can definitely spend an hour there.
Hi, just found your blog. It’s very cute! I was going to suggest Forever 21, but apparently everyone else already has! Haha. I always shop on their website. http://www.forever21.com
