Abercrombie scares me. The clearance is more than the stuff on the racks.
Hot Topic and Urban Behavior is so much better. And wonderfully cheaper.

So my advice to you is just to be a sweet pickle and everything will turn out for you in life - everything.

I acually love Abercrombie and Hot Topic.
My two favorite stores.
And the clearance acually does have cheap clothing. You just have to look. Alot.

LIES!!! LIES AND FRUITCAKE!!!!

But they don't have enough people of diffrent races in there ads! Come on! Where are the blacks, asians, and hispanics!? Also their size range is a bit unrealistic.

My two favorites are Gap and Department stores (like Nordstom's and Macy's)

Abercrombie has good music. They had this remix of a Cher song. I loved it!
But anyway, Abercrombie's sizes are small. Friggen 00 should Not be a size. They also have really boring colors. I have yet to see something Neon in there. And i can't seem to find anything but Polos and such in there.
Its smells bad, too. >>;
My favorite stores are WalMart and 7/11. Walmart is cheap and has clothes I like. Theres this one shirt with Sesame Street characters, and it says "I was raised on the street"
=D

I've never even set foot inside an Abercrombie store, so I'm a bit surprised to hear that Hot Topic is *cheap* compared to it. Hot Topic is expensive to begin with, so I shudder to think what people are dishing out for A&F gear! o_O

I must say, however, that I know an Abercrombie model personally, and he happens to be Hispanic. =)

The place reeks of this disgusting cologne. I was the only "goth" in the place, and the sales girl kept giving me dirty looks. (Prob. cause i was criticizing the stuff v. loudly)

I do something similar to that (minus the cricizing). I go into hot topic wearing bright pinks and pastels. I love Hot Topic, but people where i live wouldn't think that someone as "preppy looking" as me would like the place.

It rocks.

Well, If you go in there and start critizing the products, how can you not expect to get looks? I mean, I used to do that in Hot Topics, but, I started think it was just immature and rude to people who liked those styles.

Abercrombies do have realistic sizes, but, again, you have to look and they are usually on top. I must say it is pretty awkward having to ask the sales person to reach it for me, but its worth it. I think Abercrombie would be way more successful(sp?) if they sold even bigger sizes.
And yeah, Hot Topic can get expenisive. I mean, I wasn't going to pay 8 dollars for a triforce pin. Its not worth it...
I really dont like when people ask me why I shop in a certain store, or try to label me for it. Really if you see something you like, just buy it, regardless of the brand.

And in the middle of 4th period today, I relaized(sp?) that I like Hollister a whole lot more than Abercrombie.

Hollister freaks me out (!!). Very expensive.. we're talking plain black flip flops at $40.

So my advice to you is just to be a sweet pickle and everything will turn out for you in life - everything.

It's just fun to be bitchy sometimes. bsides, we were talking about their hair-color-ist tees.

They're all expensive and extremely overpriced (yes, there's a difference), and they all make you look like a clone. Even Hot Topic. Don't any of you go to department stores? Or thrift stores? Or small local businesses?

And has anyone else noticed that Hollister is freaking dark? How are you supposed to purchase anything there when it's too dark to see what you're buying? Also the perfume is overpowering at all of the "preppy" stores (American Eagle, A&F, etc) and just standing outside the doors of those places makes me extremely nauseous.

THANK YOU chick above me. Exactly what I've been trying to point out. Although, the local bussiness w/ clothes near me is MORE expensive than all those stores. I was just p.o'd about the 'blondes rule!' tees.

As i said before I love macy's and nordstom's (teh best department stores ever). Hollister is dark so you can't really see how much the stuff is. If ya can't see, ya pay more! (just kidding)

Does anyone here like H&M?

LOL!

By the way Kat, although I do swing into specialty stores like HT from time to time, I do the majority of my shopping at Marshalls. ;P

I live off Target for all my needs (;

I went inside a Marshalls once, but It closed down the next day. I got alot of clothes, and some Camo jeans that I loved. xD. It was the only one in our area, most people our age shop at stuff like Hollister and Abercrombie.

People Say Hot Topic is dark with loud music, and when we got a hollister, I was like "Haha! Now what, you poopyhead!"

I mostly shop at Khols. If I go to the Mall, I usualy spend my money on Food and Mangas >.>
And Stabucks.

I can't really buy much at Hot Topic cause I usually don't have enough money for the shirts and whatnot, unless I go to the clearance rack.
Then, Its all Harry Potter. >>'
Harry Potter is the Hax, I just don't paticularly like the shirts.

Dattebayo

Manga is usually the first thing I blow my money off on at the mall, as well. Jeez, at ten bucks a pop, no wonder I'm broke.

What does "the hax" mean?
