But for a good reason. All my old clothes are too big on me. And it's the cheapest way to slowly replace my wardrobe and still look decent.  Thanks. 
I've been slacking the last month or so, but I'm officially back on the wagon as of today. Yay! |

Having a good tailor is always a good idea. If you can't go that route Dillard's, Sax Fifth Ave, Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, Jhane Barnes, and a couple of other shops will do. Plus you absolutely MUST have a Tony Lama shop around. | |

BTW, have you guys noticed that the eighties style is so coming back? Like skinny jeans and pants with over sized shirts? Goodwill.....and not because I have to, but because I think it is great fun....you would be amazed what I find...  "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.

I did go in the one in the Mall once and I didn't like it at all. Everything looked really frumpy and just conservative and plain.  How odd that you found it to be hipster-ish.  Maybe they've changed their merchandise since then. But yeah, we don't really have "hipsters" here in Holland anyway. It's just a totally different scene, but I know exactly what you're talking about. I would have thought you'd say that about Urban Outfitters in fact. That place it hipster central! 
Plus, do "true" hipsters REALLY hang out at the Mall of America?
[Edited 5/9/06 12:20pm] If you vist one of the H&M's in Antwerp, you really can get a hipster overload. The other ones (even in Antwerp there are about 3 of them  ) are okay.
I visit them often, next to Zara, sometimes Mango, Vero Moda and Mexx. And sometimes Cora Kemperman, don't know how well-known this is outside the Netherlands and Belgium, but there are very beautiful clothes in these collections  I think I have been in H&M in Antwerp. And Brussels and Gent as well. I usually just end up feeling old when I shop in H&M though, and also in the "teen" section of Zara. Everyone is like, 12 there.
I have been in Cora Kemperman, but I've never bought anything there yet. And I don't like Mexx at all.  Too conservative for me I think. I've never found anything I like there (well, one pair of pants once  ) It's like Esprit or something. Totally not my style.

I am my own tailor.  I'm pretty good at sewing if I do say so myself.  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

You are. Hey, maybe I should start my own tailor business and charge $50 for hemming. Dumb rich people would actually pay that, and more!"I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |
