Of the two stores, I pick H&M over Forever 21 as far as quality.
I’ve stopped shopping at Forever 21 because I found that 1) Quality doesn't hold up 2) Clothes tend to be trendy so it goes out of style fast.
In the last year, I haven’t bought much from F21, I made a couple of purchases on their basic stuff like tank tops and t-shirts because it’s cheap and the quality on those is fine. I have shopped more at H&M this year than I have in the past. Their quality is not too bad. I rather invest the money there than F21.
I know you are a stay at home mom, but you should definitely play with clothes. I know you are also very petite so use the internet as a resource on where to shop. There are a lot of really petite bloggers that give great advices on where to shop for those XXS sizes.
RW, thanks for the info! With additional 50% off, I might have to check it out. I looove it when they have those additional discounts to already marked down prices!
If I buy something I find myself returning it 2-3 day later because I don't have a reason to wear it but just like it so I'm learning the difference between want and need. I hate to shop online and make return at the store or ship it back. As for store we don't have much here because our mall is small and don't always carry a large variety like a store in a bigger city. Another thing is the size for petite are mostly carry online.
Forever 21 and H & M. I don't hang around Forever 21 and just walk across to H & M and shop in the kid section for my little one. Forever 21 is a store where I think you need to look around for hours or just take your time and I don't have that extra spare time to do it. My daughter always bug me to go shopping at Forever 21, H & M, Hollister, A&F, etc. at Modesto Mall but I find myself going to DD's Discount and Ross while she roam the mall with my sister.
I tried playing with some clothes today but I really don't have any top or shirt and I went looking through my daughter closet and only to find that even though she is just 3 inches taller than me but her shirts or tops doesn't feel right on me at all. I don't know how she pull off those clothes but I can't. I went digging through her scarves but couldn't find where she put them and only came across 3 of them but so clueless of trying to wear it different way to see which one I can pull off. I guess I might just have to have date with her one day and have her help show me a little here and there.
