SASSTASTIC: J.CREW Kids
Not that I’m an ageist but… it kind of hurts my feelings that these J.Crew kids are so fly. Like, how am I 24 and still trying to figure out how to get dressed every morning? Okay, I get that a stylist totally put their outfits together and they were definitely told to act all sassy/precocious but you get my drift, right? There are some really creative kids out there.

Possible Upgrade: Forever 21
When it comes to Forever 21, I have extremely mixed feelings. I’ve tried to cut back on the amount of spending that I do in that store and I don’t really think I’ve bought anything from them since last May. Aside from my moral reservations about spending money there, I also find the stores to be overwhelming. Especially the one in Union Square!!
