It's not as if I need the extra weight. Confused enough by life, so thanks a lot.

Sometimes I love working at Abercrombie. You can buy a lot of clothing items for $12.90! I really disagree with the bubblegum image that has been produced of blonde haired blue eyed girls wearing preppy polos and five layers of pink, yellow, white, and blue. I think this image is far off from what the company is actually trying to portray. I think Abercrombie is just trying to sell classic and high quality basics. I don't love their idea of girls wearing no makeup and doing nothing with their hair, though. I actually sometimes get in trouble for wearing makeup and teasing my hair, but tough luck! If there are some things I love about their clothes, they have to be the quality and the way the clothes fit! 

These are my recent $12.90 purchases. I'm a huge sucker for sweaters, even though I should be getting ready for summer weather. They were just so cheap! Especially considering each of them were around $70 full price! I also bought two 100% cashmere sweaters from there for $40 each. They were originally $250-$300! Who could resist cashmere at such a a price?


I think my grandma had something similar to this. I love it!
53% cotton
47% nylon
5% rabbit hair

Nice basic. Kind of reminds me of a boys sweater, but the moose is pink.
55% cotton
30% viscose
15% rabbit hair


I actually have this in grey also. Thats kind of sick. I just couldn't resist the price.
45% viscose
40% nylon
15% rabbit hair

Now, I think this is actually thin enough to wear during the summer! maybe?
60% cotton
20% viscose
20% nylon

Abercrombie Says...

As I work for Abercrombie and Fitch, the new look policy for summer came out and it is strict as usual. I just find it interesting that this is what a huge and successful clothing company considers fashionable:

Navy, Grey, and White: Things haven't changed here. Year around, we wear these colors. No exceptions.


Half-Braided Leather Flip Flops $46
FlipFlops: Another thing that hasn't changed. I guess we like to pretend like its warm outside when really were freezing our butts off as we say "hey, how's it going?"


Gretchen Tank $40
Shear Tees and Tanks: I found that all of the new shirts are shear. They suggested that we buy nude colored bras to wear underneath. Inconvenient? Too revealing? Or maybe breezy and casual? Abercrombie is known for "casual luxury".


Nicolette Crop Jean $80
Cuffed Jeans: So that we can look like we just came in from the rice fields? Or maybe to give a more summery look to our jeans. I'm not sure why were not allowed to wear shorts this year. Seems weird, but I'm not sure that I like wearing shorts very much anyway.


Abra Skirt $70
Sheer Short Flowing Skirts: At first, I wasn't sure if they had missed the trend point for these but I've decided that I like them because I definitely don't have enough curves to wear the short jean skirts and these flirty skirts are cute!

ONE layer: This rule is quite contrary to past styles Abercrombie has displayed on their mannequins with sometimes as many as five layers!

I'm willing to give just about anything in fashion a try, so I'm not opposed to this policy. Or atleast, not yet. I like the fact thats its different from past Abercrombie looks. I guess I will see! For now, its a tad cold to be dressing like that!
