at first glance

i'm not a fashionista. but i do appreciate fashion. 

the moment i stepped into the latest sensation that is forever 21, i felt like i was in a different country! i actually felt like i was back in the states! 

first: the size
can i just say, i was absolutely surprised at how big the whole store was. and it felt like there were racks upon racks of clothing left and right. and just when you thought you've managed to see everything, of course you'd be wrong. you missed something, a lot of somethings!

assortment
a basic line, loads of accessories, socks, wallets, fashion line which consisted of fashion forward items, dressier ones, some even bordering on punk, shoes, sandals and of course bags. it seems like a one-stop shop for every girl! and if a girl happens to bring along a date, specifically a guy, then he should be happy to know that there is a small section for them too!

price
one more surprise. i was actually expecting their items to be a lot more expensive. so imagine my reaction when i was browsing through some items and found out that they were actually quite reasonable. i wouldn't say they're cheap. but they aren't pricey either! i was eyeing a pair of flat gladiator sandals, the pair only costs 600 bucks! too bad it was a size too small! and i was told that it was the last pair. better luck next time i suppose?

all in all, i'd say forever 21 is definitely what the modern pinay needs. a fashion forward haven that won't break your bank! 

PS: they currently have three (3) branches now; SM Megamall, SM Makati and SM Cebu
